Lunch and Learning
Odd-dated Sundays, through 
Nov 15, 11:45 a.m. - Library

An in-person class that offers a common meal together (simple soup & salad), a brief time of sharing related to the topic, a learning experience on topic, Q & A, and a takeaway to facilitate practice.

Our next meeting is October 11th and our topic is IMAGINATIVE PRAYER – Praying is effectively spending time with God. You will have the opportunity to be guided into this contemplative style of praying.  This is a powerful and effective practice to bring us closer to the presence of God in our life.

Just Peacemaking
Tuesdays through October 27th, 7:00 p.m. on Zoom


In August 1995, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Churchwide Assembly adopted a social statement entitled "For Peace in God's World." The first sentence of this statement affirms that as people of faith, we are called to be peacemakers.

In this class we will focus on what it means to fulfill that call. We begin by studying four classic approaches to war and peace. We will then consider a fifth approach that has emerged: Just Peacemaking. In our final session, we will identify some of the most significant global threats to peace.


All Gory, Loud, and Horror!
October 28th, 6:00 p.m. -

An evening of spooky classical pops featuring organ, piano, and other delightfully frightful sounds.

All-Church Work Party
October 17th, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.


Come and lend a hand at our all-church work party! This is a chance to come together in community and take care of St. Luke property and grounds. Taking on one-time projects are more fun and manageable when done together.

October Table Talk
October 24th, 11:00 a.m., Conference Room
October 28th, 7:00 p.m. on Zoom

In this Table Talk, we will engage in lively discussion about change in the church. In the Protestant Reformation, semper reformanda (always reforming) was a rallying cry for the church to continually reform itself in accordance with the word of God. What changes do we need to make in our message and practices? But at the same time, how do we preserve the heart of our tradition?
