PASTOR ROBERTS RETIREMENT For over 24 years, St. Luke’s has been blessed to have Pastor Brian Roberts serve as our Pastor! He is retiring at the end of October after 36 years in ministry and we hope you will join us in celebrating all that he has done for the Lord. Please mark your calendars for a retirement service, celebration, and lunch on Sunday, October 27th. More details coming soon!  

Leading up to his retirement, will you write down a favorite Pastor Roberts memory or a note of appreciation? Special notecards and envelopes are available at the church front desk for you to use. Please return the completed cards to the church office before October 27th. They’ll be kept secure if you also want to enclose a monetary appreciation. All of the completed notes will be presented to Pastor Roberts at his retirement celebration for him to treasure!

UPDATE: DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CALL PROCESS Mr. Jeremy Becker, along with his family, will be visiting St. Luke’s in October. After he has had time for prayerful consideration, we look to have a decision later that month. Thank you for your continued prayers for Jeremy and his family, St. Paul in Weston, FL, and St. Luke’s during this time.

A SPECIAL NOTE: A NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM In 1991, the school hosted a live nativity walk-through. Over the last 33 years, many changes took place with the program that became “From Everywhere to Bethlehem” and then “A Night in Bethlehem”. Hundreds of volunteers have presented the story of Jesus to our members and members of our community.

As we work to Awaken Hearts in Every Generation to the Power of Life in Christ, we know there will be moments of change. During years of construction and COVID we paused this ministry, and this year we will once again take a break in order to reimagine how we share the Christmas story with our community. Even as we have some sadness at this moment, we pray that this will be an opportunity to redesign how we present the birth of our Savior in a new way. We would love for you to share your new ideas for connecting Christmas with our community – send them to bethlehem@sllcs.org.
