The Weekly View

Sunday July 1, 2018

This Sunday

Dear St Luke Community,

The Rev David Slorpe will be in the pulpit this Sunday and I encourage you all to attend. By now you all know Dave, his warmth and the joy he pervades. Speaking of joy, Dave will be preaching on Galatians 5:16-25 which includes the fruits of the Spirit. In case you forgot what those are, they are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

His sermon title is Joy the World and will include some teachings from The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.

I’m sure you will welcome Dave and Jan with your usual warmth. You are a joyful and welcoming congregation. I know this because the lovely retired clergyman who worshipped with us last Sunday went on and on in an email about the hospitality of the congregation.

Enjoy and I’ll see you on the 8th.

Yours in Christ,
Nicole

Reverend Dan White will be available for Pastoral care and support. Dan may be reached directly at 415-272-4207. If you need care on Saturday, June 30th or Sunday, July 1st, please call Deacon Jan Smith who will contact the Pastor available for emergency care, Lora East. 

Announcements & Upcoming Events

All are welcome to attend 

Summer Sermon Series ~ Practicing Faith-July 8th-29th
Over these four Sundays, Rev Trotter will explore spiritual practices that deepen our relationship with God. Worshipping God each Sunday is only one part of what we do as disciples of Jesus Christ. God has given us every moment and aspect of our lives to grow in deeper relationship with God.

Some practices have a long history in the religions of the world. Others are as ordinary as the things we do in daily life.

Pulling from the following books in conjunction with supporting scripture, we will explore a different individual and congregational practice each Sunday.

An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith, Barbara Brown Taylor
The Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations, Robert Schnase

No need to purchase the books.
