Thoughts  from the Sr. Warden

As we begin the budgeting process for 2021, I am reminded of words written by Martin Luther that for me, apply directly to steward-ship. Luther wrote “I have held many things in my hand and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.” Though spoken in the sixteenth century, these words still ring true for me today. As I con-sider the many blessings God has provided in my life, I realize that St. Luke’s has been one of life’s greatest. I was baptized, confirmed, and married at St. Luke’s. I watched as my wife, children, granddaughter, and even nieces and nephews were christened here, and I celebrated the life of my parents at St. Luke’s when they went to meet Christ face to face.
While we all have concerns about the coming year, the Corona-virus not least among them, we are extremely blessed with the presence of Christ and His church in our daily lives. I encourage everyone to look closely at the ministries provided by St. Luke’s, not only in our communi-ty, but in the broader church as well. Food for the poor, medical care for the uninsured, Christian activities for our youth, hope and support for our companion church in Cuba, and the list goes on and on. As we con-sider our stewardship plans for the coming year, I ask everyone to reflect on the words found in Corinthians, chapter 8, verse 12 where we are re-minded that if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable accord-ing to what one has, not according to what one does not have. By completing a pledge card and returning it by Sunday, November 1, 2020, we will be able to plan the levels of our ministries and continue to do God’s work.
On behalf of the vestry of St. Luke’s, I thank you all for your gen-erous contributions, volunteer hours, support, and prayers for this parish, and I look forward to a 2021 filled with the blessings of God, an end to the pandemic, and the hiring of a Rector that will shepherd this flock and grow our wonderful church.

Together in Christ,

Mike
