The Lenten Season and Easter
Lent is a season of preparedness leading to the glorious resurrection of Jesus that we celebrate on Easter Sunday, which is on April 20th this year. It begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5th, with an evening worship service at 7:00 pm, and continues with a video study series each succeeding Wednesday at 7:00 pm based on Susan Robb’s Seven Words: Listening to Christ from the Cross. During Holy Week, we begin with Palm Sunday, celebrate a special communion on Maundy Thursday, and after a somber service on Good Friday, carry Christ’s cross to our display in the front yard of the church. We start our Easter celebration with a Sunrise Service at Old Zion Reformed Church in Brickerville, refresh ourselves with a pancake breakfast at St. Luke’s, and finish with a joyous worship service at 10:30. Nursery car will be available. Check the calendar for more details, or our Facebook page by clicking on the blue square with the white f at the top right hand corner of this page.
Who We Are
St. Luke’s United Church of Christ is a joyful, friendly, and caring congregation, living our call as a part of the universal Body of Christ.
We are united by our faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, who by the power of the Holy Spirit, leads, guides, and empowers us. We rely on the Word of God. We embrace the traditions of the Church and the continued movement of the Holy Spirit in us today. We affirm our God-given curiosity, intellect, and talents.
As a Spirit-inspired congregation, we value:
- Worship in Word and Sacrament, enhanced by music and the arts, as a celebration of God’s love.
- The deep connections that grow out of work and play, joys, and trials, as families and individuals, among people of all ages, both within our congregation and the community at large.
- Spiritual discipline in prayer, study, self-giving, and service.
