Thoughts  from the Sr. Warden 

 Brothers and Sisters of St. Luke’s…

   Some of the readings from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer for May are:       In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.” and  “… following in the steps of the Holy Apostles we may steadfastly walk in the way that leadeth to eternal life.

   An uncle once told me that the “many mansions” applies to not only the afterlife but in our present existence.  God’s house is here – we inhabit His house right now.  It is up to us to look for God in all his many forms in our lives.  To do this we need to allow the Holy Ghost to help us see the Lord, His presence, His gifts, and His works as we walk through our days.  It is up to us to use the examples of the Apostles to see how they lived their lives while trying to spread the Good News of the Resurrected Christ.

  We live in an unprecedented time -- The Era of Covid!  For over a year our world has been disrupted and turned upside-down.  The one constant is the Love of God.  I truly believe St. Luke’s is one of those mansions in our Father’s House.  It has been a comfort in times of turmoil.  Now that a large percentage of  citizens are getting inoculated, I hope our congregations can “Come Home” to church.  The complacency of not physically attending church is hard to overcome.  But the inner peace of saying the General Confession out loud in a room of your Christian peers is a wonderful thing; to receive the Forgiveness of God from the Priest is a gift that we all need.  Get back in the habit of coming to the House of God.  Feel his presence and let that Christian camaraderie flow over you.  With a heart and soul full of the Holy Ghost you can follow in the footsteps of Peter, Paul, and even Thomas.  

   Good News!  The search for our new priest is one step closer.  A recommendation will be forwarded to the Bishop after our next Vestry meeting.  The Congregation will receive an update as soon as we hear back from Bishop Howard.

Forever in Christ,

Brantly
