Greetings from Your Senior Warden

Dear Parish Family,

As we near our Holiest Week of the church year,

I am choosing to share some personal thoughts

with you. This year marks the twelfth year of

me attending St. Luke's and the tenth year as a

member. Many of you know that I came to

Kansas to help my oldest son and his family as

they all came to realize the task ahead of pulling

together to face the consequences of

Huntington's disease which my daughter-in-law

has the misfortune of inheriting. The road has

been full of turns and bumps. We have all had

moments of intense anger and shaking our fists

at the sky and asking why is this happening! I

know that many of you have your own

challenges to face and burdens to bear. I hope

my story helps even one person to come closer

and more steeped than ever in a personal

relationship with our God.

Our little family has grown in ways they could

not have imagined. Chris needs everything

done for her now and I am proud to say that her

husband and boys have learned to fill her

needs. We have learned to accept help from

one another and

caregivers who come to us Monday through

Friday. For a very independent group this has

truly been a different outcome in life that we

expected.

For me personally, I knew I needed to find a

church home when I moved to Shawnee. I left a

community that I was anchored in for sixty-four

years as well as the rest of my family and life

long friends. The weekend I drove Chris and

two of the boys plus the little dog to Shawnee,

(Craig and Matthew where already here), it was

Palm Sunday. So I found the yellow pages and

decided I could find my way to St. Luke's. As

time went on and the family became acquainted

with their new surroundings, they shopped

around for a new church home and decided St.

Luke's would be their choice.

When I moved here two years later I had a

church home to turn to. Pat and Jim Gray took

me under their wings as did others and made

me feel welcome and cared for. Here is my

point in telling you some of my story.

Without any of us doing anything we have been

cared for and loved by God no matter what our

circumstances. Soon we will gather and worship

together to celebrate the wonder of Easter. Our

tradition offers each one the opportunity to

remember the greatest sacrifice and love given

to all. I pray that you will take advantage by

attending the intergenerational Passion Play that

will be presented between services on Palm

Sunday and of course the three special services

beginning on Maundy Thursday through Easter

(all of which are one continuing worship

experience) and know that you are loved and

cared for by our loving God and be empowered

to share that love with the lives you touch each

day.

See you in Church,

Ruth Knabel

Presiding Bishop in West Missouri

Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will lead two outdoor revivals in May in cities near

the Kansas-Missouri border. Members of this diocese are invited to attend either or

both of them.

Saturday, May 5, from noon to 3 p.m.

Power and Light District Stage at 420 West 14th Street, KCMO

Sunday, May 6, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Hammons Field, 955 East Trafficway Street, Springfield

Revivals are planned to “stir and renew hearts for

Jesus, to equip Episcopalians as evangelists and to

welcome people who aren’t part of a church to join

the Jesus Movement,” according to a news release

announcing the events.

The events will feature worship and prayer services,

dynamic preachers, music, personal testimony,

storytelling and a call to action. More information

about the revival series is online.
