Ministries & More

“Singing is the finest art and practice. He who is singing has no quarrel with the world… Singers are neither worried nor sad but shake all cares from their souls”.
– Dr. Martin Luther (1539)

 

Sunday morning we celebrate the Sabbath of our Lord in part with Sunday School. We meet from 9:00 A.M. till 10:00 A.M. Our program begins with children from pre-school age through Jr. High School (confirmation classes for Jr. High Class). Children do crafts, have snacks, hear about the love of Jesus. It’s only an hour long but we enjoy every minute of it.

 

We are an organization within the church, who’s purpose is to encourage socialization and establish friendships within our congregation and community. We plan activities and events that will bring the church and the community together and gain friendships through both.

Through our activities, we try to help accommodate and make aware the needs of the church, congregation and community. I hope as my new appointment as President of the Fellowship Committee and with the help of its members to encourage socialization and establish friendships within our church and community through these many activities and events!

 

Youth Ministry is important in the life of the Church! In this grace-filled moment, you and we are called, by the Lord, to do this important ministry.

Sunday School

Sunday morning we celebrate the Sabbath of our Lord in part with Sunday school. We meet from 9:00 A.M. till 10:00 A.M. Our program begins with children from pre-school age through Jr. High School (conformation classes for Jr. High Class). Children do crafts, have snacks, hear about the love of Jesus.

Confirmation is the culmination of Parent’s promises on your behalf at Baptism

In Christian love you have presented these children for Holy Baptism. You should, therefore, faithfully bring them to the services of God’s house, and teach them the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments. As they grow in years, you should place in their hands the Holy Scriptures and provide for their instruction in the Christian faith, that, living in the covenant of their Baptism and in communion with the Church, they may lead godly lives until the day of Jesus Christ. (Lutheran Book of Worship)

The confirmation program at St. Luke’s Church is a two year program where the goal is for a student to be able to formulate and articulate their faith. They do this through a sundry of ways by:

Studying the catechism of the Church. Learning the Creeds, Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the blessed and Holy Sacraments. They will learn about the three major world religions and the differences. They also learn the books of the Bible and about God’s love written on each one of the pages! Engaging their faith through weekly worship and serving in worship as acolytes, assisting the deacons in bell ringing or taking the weekly offering.

Confirmation students will learn to give expression to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by their participation in the “Summer Mission Week”. We partner with youth from local churches to serve “the least of these in our society”. We make bag lunches for the homeless Veterans, make breakfast for a senior center, help at Hope Rescue Mission, assist the Veterans Helping Veterans organization, do yard work for shut-ins, etc.

On top of all this there is even time for a trip to the ice cream parlor, and a trip t0 the local fast food places.

When the program is finished the newly confirmed brother or sister in Christ is prepared to live life as a faithful Christian and to serve his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
