Dear St. Lukers,
Last week I had the privilege of leading one of our Partnership classes, Discover St. Luke’s, for people who are either just getting to know St. Luke’s, or for people who are moving toward Partnership (membership) in our church.
We spend most of our time going through St. Luke’s mission statement, which also happens to be the subject of the current worship series. It’s always incredible to see and hear how people who are first encountering St. Luke’s experience things that have become central to who we are and what we’re about, and, as always, there was an incredible amount of joy and appreciation for our particular understanding of mission and discipleship as a church. But – this hasn’t always been our mission statement.
I hope you’ve been digging in with our current worship series, Rooted in Purpose, as we go deeper with the “roots” of St. Lukes, through our Wesleyan heritage as well as the book of Ephesians. Our roadmap for this series is that very mission statement, “Awakening Disciples to Reveal the Kingdom, and Revealing the Kingdom to Awaken Disciples.”
It was just a few years ago...
