DRAMA CLASS IS IN SESSION - RULE 1: DO NO HARM

 

It’s hard to believe summer is already coming to a close. This morning, I had the privilege of taking our son, Gavin, to Olympia High School’s Freshman Frenzy as he prepares to begin high school with the Class of 2030. We walked into the auditorium (entering through a cheerleader tunnel) to a spirit-filled pep rally featuring the marching band playing all around the room. We heard the new principal and administration share their excitement and helpful information in preparation for a brand-new school year. It reminded me that every new season is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become.

 

That’s exactly where we are as a church family.

 

As one school year begins, we’re getting ready for a new class at Love University. Beginning this Sunday, we kick off a three-week series called Drama Class, where we’ll explore what it means to faithfully navigate the “stage of life.” Every one of us plays different roles throughout our lives as children, friends, parents, neighbors, coworkers, leaders, and disciples. The question is not whether we have a part to play, but how we live out that part in a way that reflects Christ.

 

To guide us, we’ll look at John Wesley’s Three General Rules: Do No Harm. Do Good. Stay in Love with God...

Making Back-to-School Brighter

Last weekend, a team from St. Luke's participated in the Family Promise Back to School Bash. What an AMAZING day of backpacks, resources, and fun. Thanks to all who donated backpacks, helped fill them, and then helped children in our community choose their very own for the upcoming school year.


For all the ways you can get involved with our partner schools, Mollie Ray and Maxey Elementary, visit st.lukes.org/impact.
