 Today marks the second Sunday of Lent, a sacred season for Christians to prepare in mind, body, and spirit, to follow our Saviour Jesus Christ to the cross, and the solemn commemoration of His betrayal, death, and resurrection at Holy Week. Some of the traditional practices of the season of Lent include fasting, the study of Scripture, prayerful reflection, and generous almsgiving. To help us grow in our understanding and faith as Christ's disciples today, each week we will be sharing links to two videos from the Bible Project from their series on The Sermon on the Mount. You can find this week's videos, 'Jesus Fulfills the Law', and 'Wisdom Within Laws About Murder, Adultery and Divorce', below: Our service of Morning Prayer, Bulletin, and Sermon this week can be found here: And our Songs this week can be found here:

 Today marks the first Sunday of Lent, a sacred season for Christians to prepare in mind, body, and spirit, to follow our Saviour Jesus Christ to the cross, and the solemn commemoration of His betrayal, death, and resurrection at Holy Week.

To help us grow in our understanding and faith as Christ's disciples today, each week we will be sharing links to two videos from the Bible Project from their series on The Sermon on the Mount.

For those of us unable to join us in person for our Ash Wednesday service at St. Luke's this year, here is an At-Home Ash Wednesday Order of Service, (Note: There is no Imposition of Ashes rite in this particular At-Home service), and Sermon. Many blessings in the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer. Rob+  Today we celebrate the Transfiguration of our Lord, when Jesus Christ was revealed to be God's beloved Son, to whom we are all called to listen.

Cathy Laskey, has gracious stepped in this week to lead our In-Person worship service, as Rev. Rob has still been under the weather. This week, we are all challenged to pay particular attention to the Gospel reading from Luke 6:27-38. These words from our Lord Jesus Christ make clear the only way forward for those who seek to trust in and follow Him, which is the way of God's rescuing, redeeming, and reconciling love that our Lord Jesus Christ Himself revealed and embodied, especially at the cross, where He graciously gave up His life to save us sinners. Take time throughout this week to read, and re-read, and wrestle, and pray with these words in mind, asking for the Holy Spirit's help so that we can put these words into practice in our lives.
