Welcome to Worship!
Whether you've been around St. Luke's for many years or
you're just starting, whether your life is going well or falling
apart, whether you're convicted in your beliefs or
questioning everything - we're happy you're here. We want
to be a community that brings Jesus to you.
- Pastor Luke
O Love triumphant over guilt and sin,
My Soul is soiled, but Thou shalt enter in;
Lonely my heart, till beating by Thine own,
My will is weakness till it rest in Thine,
Cut off, I wither, thirsting for the Vine,
My deeds are dry leaves on a sapless tree,
My live is lifeless till it live in Thee!
Frederick Lawrence Knowles, 1869-1905
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks
this water will be thirsty again,
but whoever drinks the water I give him
will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give
him will become in him a spring of
water welling up to eternal life.”
- John 4:13-14
