Fall at St. Luke's

School has started, and we are getting back in the swing of things at church with Rally Sunday on Sept 15th to kick off the school year, and WNL starting on Sept 25th. We invite you to join us!

Rally Sunday is such a fun Sunday here at church. We will hear lots of beautiful music from the Choir and Jubilee. The children will be receiving a new bible or a bookmark. Pastor Rob will be back from his Sabbatical. And we are having an ice cream social in-between worship. What a better way to celebrate all these amazing things by enjoying some ice cream together.

I still have my bibles that I received growing up from my home church in Edina. These are such a special thing to receive as a child and it’s something that you can keep using even as you get older and older. One of the bibles I received has my name engraved on the front cover. I hope the bibles we pass out to the children have the same impact that my bibles throughout the years had on me. We are lucky to have Barb Roberts who writes each child’s name in calligraphy in their bibles. Children at St. Luke’s will receive 6 bibles as they grow in years: baptism bible, preschool bible, Spark bible, Deep Blue Kids Bible, and Spark Study Bible. Once they are in high school, they will get to pick out an adult bible as well.

WNL is a great time to share a meal together, and to grow together in Christ, while having fun of course! I look forward to fall starting every year because it’s my favorite season. I also feel like fall brings back a lot of routines and structure. Even if I am past my school age years, I keep getting that feeling when fall comes around. Routines keep us more balanced and more focused throughout the day. 

When I look around at these events, I just feel so amazed that church brought all these wonderful people together. We hope that you can join us for all the exciting upcoming activities and events to kick off the new year together.
