Dear St. Lukers,

Can you believe it’s already mid-November and coming up on Thanksgiving week? It’s been a whirlwind of a month and this weekend was full of St. Lukers leading their lives with God’s story of love and grace. A huge thanks to all of our United Women in Faith and their volunteers for their year-long work to put on the annual Holiday Marketplace last weekend. They made $28,000 over two days, all of which will be used for missions locally and globally!

We also baptized four children and three youth in worship, and 29 young people publicly confessed their faith in Jesus Christ during Confirmation Sunday, becoming St. Luke’s newest Partners in faith and ministry. They stood before a room full of family and friends to take their membership vows and commit to being a part of St. Luke’s mission and vision, and to living out our values. These young people are on fire, and I am so excited about how St. Luke’s will grow through their service and callings.

This Sunday we will share the final 24 & More Vision pillar as we consider what it means to DO and BE More for Central Florida. Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio’s podcast episode this week on the difference between temple and tabernacle ministry from Ezra 3 will guide us. Be sure to listen before Sunday and check out your pastors having a conversation in a special bonus episode that...

Reminder: The church campus will be closed from November 20-25 in observance of Thanksgiving. We will re-open for worship on Sunday, November 26, and the front office will re-open on Monday, November 27 at 9:00 a.m.
