RESURRECTION POWER: THE POWER THAT ABIDES. Do you ever feel distant from others? What about from God? Because of the resurrection, our Savior now abides with us, and we abide in him. Abiding in our Savior, we have access to his life bringing power. Our lives are intimately connected to his own life. Because he abides in us, we receive his resurrection power that sustains us and causes us to bear good and bountiful fruit!
PASTORAL CALL PROCESS As the Lord continues to bless our ministry, the time has come to begin the process for calling our next Pastor. In 2025, we know that Pastor Arp is planning to retire. Since this process can take months to complete, we are asking the congregation for names of LCMS Pastors who we might consider to call to St. Luke’s. Please submit your suggestions to hr@sllcs.org as our call committee begins their work. Pray that the Lord guides and directs our work as we proceed.
