Dear St. Lukers,
This Tuesday, we had more than 110 lay leaders join together on Zoom for our first of five Leadership Trainings for 2022. It was a great learning experience with our Annual Conference Co-Lay Leaders Alice Williams and Derrick Scott. They shared with us the call for the laity of the church to support the ministries God is creating with their presence, purpose, passion, and through their partnership. We are excited to use these four words as our themes for leader training throughout the year, beginning with an in-person retreat on our commitment to presence with God, ourselves, and others on April 1 and 2. If you volunteer with any of our ministry areas (Worship, Care, Grow, Serve, or Commit) we would love to have you participate. Watch your Weekly Update for more details in the coming weeks.
At this meeting we also approved the budget for 2022, which has been set based on giving in 2021. We trust that God has much for us to do, but also has given us more than enough...
