 Thanksgiving Eve Worship – Wednesday, November 27 at 7 PM
Dessert Reception follows… As you prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving Day hopefully with family around the table, join your church family for a wonderful worship on Thanksgiving Eve. Heather Kambeitz, St. Luke’s Minister of Finance, after hearing the faith stories of Pastor Steve Olson, Seminary Student Tim Krieg, and members Mark Roberts and Mollee Erickson, she felt God was calling her to share hers. Hope you are able to attend. It will also be live-streamed and recorded. Celebrating Advent – Reading through the Gospel of Luke Advent is the start of a new church year. It is a time of preparing our hearts to welcome the Child born to us on Christmas Morn, Jesus, The Messiah, Savior, and Lord. Many people countdown to Christmas using an Advent Calendar that has 24 windows. Starting on December 1st until Christmas Eve, December 24, you open a window each day that shows a Christmas Symbol or sometimes there is a piece of chocolate. (As the joke goes – “According to my Chocolate Advent Calendar Christmas is only 3 days away, based on the number of chocolates remaining.”). The Gospel of Luke, which has 24 chapters, can be your Advent Calendar. Read the full story of Jesus according to the writer of the Gospel of Luke, by reading a chapter a day from December 1 to December 24, Christmas Eve. As a congregation we will be starting our Church New Year’s Resolution, reading through the Gospel of Luke starting this Sunday, December 1 through Sunday, May 4. If you attend Sunday worships, Wednesday worships during Lent, and Holy Week, you will hear a majority of the Gospel of Luke. There is a worship reading plan, with (the verses not being read during worship in parentheses). If you use this plan and attend worship each week, there is no additional reading until the week of January 12, 2025. The Gospel of Luke Reading Plan will be available in the Office, at the Information Desk, and on the website. For the online worship reading plan follow the LINK. May the Lord Bless you and yours this Thanksgiving Day, Advent Season, and throughout the Church New Year. In Christ, Rob
