At the Crossroads: Where Certainty Meets Transformation | | Watch the video message from Pastor Corey below as he shares this week's update from the dock on Lake Griffin at Warren Willis Camp, a place that has deeply shaped him over the past three years through prayer and time with God. His time there has transformed and prepared him to return to St. Luke’s, connecting his personal transition to our Lenten “Crossroads” series within Love University. | | |
As noted in his video:
- Don't miss your chance to see HymnSong, with two performances only: Saturday (February 28) at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday (March 1) at 2:30 p.m.
-
Pastor Jenn's final worship service will be on March 8 at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary, with a special additional service that same day at 2:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary, which will be followed by a reception in Founder's Hall.

| | Marking the Beginning of Lent | |
Last week, we marked the beginning of Lent during our Ash Wednesday service, centering ourselves in prayer, Scripture, and the imposition of ashes as we turn our hearts toward reflection, renewal, and the hope that carries us to Easter. It was a beautiful way to begin the Lenten journey together, and we thank all the staff and volunteers who helped make it possible.

As we prepare to celebrate Pastor Jenn’s incredible legacy at St. Luke’s, we’re inviting you to help us create a meaningful farewell gift for her. Jenn has helped write so many chapters of our story – now it’s our turn to write one for her.
We’re collecting notes, memories, and messages of gratitude from the congregation and will compile them into a bound book for Jenn to take with her on her new adventure to the conference.
You’re welcome to email your message to ThanksJenn@st.lukes.org or drop off/mail a handwritten note at the church office (Attn: Rachel Romoser).
Please send your message by March 8.

"Your Week with St. Luke's" Podcast - This week, Pastor Jad reflects on John 3:1–17 and Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, exploring what it means to be “born from above.” Reframing John 3:16 within its fuller context, he emphasizes that Jesus’ mission is not condemnation but salvation—an invitation to trust the Spirit, release control, and experience God’s transforming love as a present reality.
