Matthew 17:1-9

Our Ash Wednesday service will be next Wednesday, February 22nd at 7:00 PM.

Join us as we begin the Lenten Season together.

Lenten Teaching Series

Lent is a chance to see our need for God, renew our spiritual lives, and give us a new appreciation for the grace of God and his incredible love for us.

Join us Sundays in March, beginning March 5th, after our Sunday service as we talk about some of the common themes that run through this wilderness season and how they can help us walk closer with Jesus as we prepare to fully enter into the joy of the Easter season.

We’ll be pulling a lot of ideas from Esau McCaulley’s "Lent: a season of Repentance and Renewal." (Order a copy if you want to read along, but you won’t be required to read it in order to join us).

Our Building Manager,

Kathy Nelson, will be retiring at the end of February. 

Kathy has worked behind the scenes as our bookkeeper, grounds manager, and building supervisor for the last 9 years and we would like to bless her with Thank You cards and blessings for her years of service.

You can mail your card or blessing to her here at the church office or you can place them in the offering basket each week.  Blank cards will also be available in the Café to leave your messages of thanks and appreciation.

Stage 4 Sponsor-A Bag

Sponsor-A-Bag is an on-going opportunity for individuals to support Stage 4 Ministry with the making and delivery of our Comfort Bags.

Sponsor-A-Bag was introduced to the community at-large in an article in the West Side Leader. (CLICK HERE to read the article)

Individuals have been invited to make a General Donation or a Sponsor-A-Bag donation through St. Luke's website. Those that chose to make a minimum donation of $35, and label it as a Sponsor-A-Bag donation, will have the opportunity to have their name included on the gift tag on the Comfort Bags.

This is just one way we hope to support our Comfort Bag ministry throughout 2023.

Come join us in "Bob's Cafe" after the service this Sunday for a time of fun, fellowship, and delicious food.

Creative Journaling

You are invited to be a part of a Creative Journaling Group beginning in February at Linda Tompkin's Glory Barn in Copley (just miles from St. Luke's).

The group will meet the second and fourth Mondays of the month from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.

No previous art training or experience is necessary to be part of this group. Drawing skills are not required.

Linda has many self-helps for your use in her studio including the stencils and stamps she used in creating her own journal pages.

Linda will be sharing various techniques she has used through her years of journaling. Each evening will focus on a different technique. Combining art with the written Word is a wonderful and rewarding way of connecting to self and the Lord.

Let Linda Tompkin know if you are interested by emailing her at linda@tompkinstudios.com.

Or call her at 330-697-6220.

The Glory Barn is located at 4780 Medina Rd. in Copley.
