Announcements for January 10th, 2025

View this email in your browser

Dear Friends,

Our Epiphany journey continues this week as we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. When were you baptized? Do you remember? I certainly don’t. Infant baptism is a way for infants to enter the family of the Church. So, in some ways, it is a rite of initiation. But for our parents and sponsors, it was a time to take on the obligations of raising us in the Christian faith. Now, I am not naïve enough to think that everyone takes this responsibility seriously. In fact, I am pretty sure many don’t.

But baptism is not a cultural artifact, simply an occasion for family to have a special gathering then go back to whatever comprises everyday life. For those lucky enough to have parents who took baptism seriously, we know Sunday School, maybe Children’s Church, Vacation Bible School, and youth group. Still, many of us are unconscious of those vows made on our behalf.

Sunday, after Jonah preaches, we will renew the vows made at our baptism. I urge you to attend. I also urge you not to take this lightly. We don’t make vows much these days unless they are profane or revengeful. But as Christians, our vows are made before God and in community. Together we will vow to resist evil, to share the Word, to serve Christ in all persons, and strive for justice and peace. Afterall, that is the work of the Church and we ARE the Church.

Blessings always,

Larry+

Annual Meeting will be Sunday, January 26th. It is very important for everyone to attend.
Prior to the meeting we will enjoy a parish wide pot-luck. Please txt Randi Thorson 608-445-7598 or email [email protected] regarding your contribution. Watch for a sign-up sheet on the table in the Narthex.

LAST CALL: The mitten and hat tree will be taken down after church this Sunday. Please dig through your bins at home for any new or gently used mittens, hats and scarves.

The Blood Drive is scheduled for 1- 6 PM, Tuesday Feb 4^th. Contact
Bob Gonzalez to help. No matter your skills or abilities, there is a job for you.

This is a wonderful chance to celebrate Dr. King with our neighbors.

January 10 at 6:30 pm at St. Stephen's Lutheran

The new year is here and once again the Social Justice team will be hosting events at St. Stephen’s, along with Monona United Methodist, focused on issues of justice.

Please join us for a conversation led by Rev. Breanna Iléné reflecting on “What does 2025 hold? Where can we actually take action?”

Rev. Iléné is on the staff of the Wisconsin Council of Churches and is the director of Ecumenical Innovation and Justice Initiatives. Her expertise will guide the conversation as we share thoughts and feelings and look for entry points for faithful Christian action.

Bring your thoughts and questions! Join the conversation as we gather in community!

A message from our intern Jonah Heiser

In light of the tragic shooting and the complicated feelings of grief, anger, numbness, and despair that many of us are feeling, I wanted to reach out to share the pastoral care available during this time of transition at St. Luke's.

In addition to Fr. Larry, I am available for pastoral care needs. As many of you know, I work as a hospice Spiritual and Grief Counselor in my day job. To reach me, please send me an email at [email protected] or call me at (608) 571-7627. If you have a different phone number saved for me, please update your contacts to this one. I am active on it during working hours, and I monitor voicemails and messages at all times for any urgent pastoral needs.

While we may not be as readily available as a parish priest, we want you to know you are not alone. If you are hurting, if you need someone to talk to, if you need someone to pray with, please reach out. I know many of you have strong, prayerful relationships with each other as well, and I encourage you to reach out to support each other in this time.

Give to St Luke's

A reminder that people making offerings through the digital giving service can offset the fees that St Luke's is charged by absorbing them when making their gift. There is option to pay the fee whenever you give through the portal.

Our Little Pantry Ministry

A steady stream of neighborhood people visit and are supported by the food and personal items from the St. Luke’s Little Pantries outside the front of the church. That means that there is a constant need for food and personal items to stock these pantries.

What items are most needed and appreciated? See the list below.

How can you help fill the pantries with these items? Buy items (preferably on sale) when you do your own grocery shopping and put them in the laundry basket at the back of the church. OR put a donation/check labeled “Little Pantries” in the Sunday offering.

Questions? Contact Laurie Powers (608-279-8162) or Sandra Ladik (608-575-7366).

Dear Friends,<br>
 <br>
Our Epiphany journey continues this week as we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus.  When were you baptized?  Do you remember?  I certainly don’t.  Infant baptism is a way for infants to enter the family of the Church.  So, in some ways, it is a rite of initiation.  But for our parents and sponsors, it was a time to take on the obligations of raising us in the Christian faith.  Now, I am not naïve enough to think that everyone takes this responsibility seriously.  In fact, I am pretty sure many don’t.<br>
 <br>
But baptism is not a cultural artifact, simply an occasion for family to have a special gathering then go back to whatever comprises everyday life.  For those lucky enough to have parents who took baptism seriously, we know Sunday School, maybe Children’s Church, Vacation Bible School, and youth group.  Still, many of us are unconscious of those vows made on our behalf.<br>
 <br>
Sunday, after Jonah preaches, we will renew the vows made at our baptism.  I urge you to attend.  I also urge you not to take this lightly.  We don’t make vows much these days unless they are profane or revengeful.  But as Christians, our vows are made before God and in community.  Together we will vow to resist evil, to share the Word, to serve Christ in all persons, and strive for justice and peace.  Afterall, that is the work of the Church and we ARE the Church.<br>
 <br>
Blessings always,<br>
 <br>
Larry+ <br>
 <br>

<br>
A steady stream of neighborhood people visit and are supported by the food and personal items from the St. Luke’s Little Pantries outside the front of the church.  That means that there is a constant need for food and personal items to stock these pantries.<br>
 <br>
What items are most needed and appreciated? See the list below.<br>
 <br>
How can you help fill the pantries with these items? Buy items (preferably on sale) when you do your own grocery shopping and put them in the laundry basket at the back of the church. OR put a donation/check labeled “Little Pantries” in the Sunday offering.<br>
 <br>
Questions? Contact Laurie Powers (608-279-8162) or Sandra Ladik (608-575-7366).<br>

Everyone Made in God's Image

St. Luke's Church affirms that LGBTQ+ people are made in God’s image. We invite them to share their gifts and stories with the worshiping community. We collaborate with them to realize the command of Jesus to make disciples of all people.

At St Luke's we believe deeply that the broad--absolutely infinite--nature of God is best revealed to the world through uniqueness of every person. Whoever you are, you are not just welcomed, you are invited to work alongside us in God's vineyard.

Social Media & Communications

We are active on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. You can also always send us an email. Click the icons below to explore our online presences.

Online Giving!

A reminder that people making offerings through the digital giving service can offset the fees that St. Luke's is charged by absorbing them when making their gift. There is option to pay the fee whenever you give through the portal.
