Easter Continues—In Us, Around Us, Through Us: A Note from Pastor Jenn

Dear St. Lukers,

What a beautiful Holy Week and Easter we experienced together! From the powerful journey through the Prayer Labyrinth to the moving worship services of Good Friday and Easter morning, we were able to serve thousands in our community with the good news of what it means to be found and be loved by the grace of Jesus.

We want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to the more than 200 volunteers who helped make it all possible. Your time, creativity, hospitality, and spirit helped create sacred spaces where lives were touched and hope was renewed. We are so grateful for each of you.

This week, we celebrate Easter…again! The story doesn’t end at the empty tomb. Resurrection is just the beginning.

This Sunday (April 27), we begin a brand-new sermon series called “Be Alive”—a celebration of what it means to live as resurrection people. Together, we’ll explore how we renew our spirits, refresh our lives, and reflect the light and new life of Christ in all we do. To kick off the series, we’ll gather for one combined worship service at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. This will be a special time of worship with music from both our Contemporary and Traditional worship teams, followed by a church-wide lunch and fellowship time. Come hungry for worship, inspiration, and good food! Plus, we’ll be sharing some exciting news you won’t want to miss!

So bring your family, invite a friend, and let’s start this new season together in joy, community, and the spirit of resurrection. See you Sunday!

With gratitude and resurrection joy,

Jenn.
