Spiritual Growth
HOLY WEEK is from Palm Sunday through Easter Day. It is the highlight of the church year as we celebrate the life and death of Christ, and its implications for us. We have junior confirmation on Palm Sunday, with processional communion. We have altar communion with the chalice only on Maundy Thursday. We remember Christ’s death on Good Friday. We do an Easter Vigil with candles on Holy Saturday (including baptism), and we celebrate life with Christ on Easter Sunday, at 7 and at 9:30.
LENTEN SUPPERS AND SERVICES will be held Wednesday evenings April 3 and 10. Following supper from 5:30-6:30, we will have services of prayer, each looking at a different aspect of our God’s grace, revealed in signs of Lent. Meals before our evening services are hosted by various groups in the congregation. On Easter, there will be an Easter breakfast by the youth between services.
EVENING WORSHIP will be Saturday, April 20th, at 6:05 pm. All are welcome to come and join God’s people in worship, especially if Sunday must be a workday.
ELECTRONIC EARPHONES, are available for use to help hearing in the sanctuary. If you need help, please see an usher before the service begins.
CONFIRMATION: “Train up a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This year’s junior confirmands are:

LUTHERANS FOR LIFE are faithful volunteers who help to set up displays in churches or at conferences, give presentations on LFL programs and ministries, plan educational programs and events, organize others to help man LFL booths at conventions, conferences, events ... and witness quietly in their areas. Since we don't have a local chapter in our area, perhaps God is calling you to start one! State Leaders will join us at St. Luke’s Manhattan April 28 to share information about local chapter activities!
2020 VISION: IT’S STILL ABOUT JESUS. Our first 150th Anniversary event will be May 26, 2019. We invited Rev. Dr. Benjamin Mayes, of Concordia Theological Seminary, to preach on our Anniversary Bible Theme from Mark10:46-52. We invite people to join us for a community meal after worship.
