O Morning Star, remind me to open my eyes and greet each new day as a gift from you. Show me how to find a measure of anticipation for this day, no matter what lies ahead. I trust that you will always go before me and accompany me. Amen. shared from morning prayer in ‘The Word In Season’

Lent Begins with Ash Wednesday, March 1st, will be held at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church this year. To learn the Lent Schedule for services, dates and location please read the March newsletter.
This Lent we have the opportunity to examine which motives bring us closer to God and to practice them. We can give up that which separates us from God, or we can begin a faith practice that brings us closer to God. We can give, pray, and forgive. We are free to examine our motives as our hearts and actions show where our treasure is. (The Word in Season, March 1.)

The first Sunday in February will begin earlier than usual for one week only, worship services will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Sharing from the Devotion “The Word In Season” on January 18th: Every believer struggles at one time or another with the question “Who is Jesus?” It’s called doubt. No one escapes it. We don’t need to be afraid of doubt, we just need to be prepared with the tools to address it. There is an old story about a young man who was struggling and decided to go visit a wise old rabbi. The two men sat in front of a fireplace, and the young one asked, “Teacher, I seem to have lost my faith, and I don’t know what to do. It’s been months since I felt like going to worship.” The wise old man smiled and said, “Reach down and remove a glowing coal from the fire.” The young man did, and together they watched the coal die down to an ember. They sat in silence. Then the rabbi said, “Now put the coal back into the fire.” He did, and of course it quickly burst back into flames. Nothing else needed to be said. The young man left knowing what he needed to do.
We either feed our faith or feed our doubts by our daily choices. The Christian walk is not possible alone. We hold the Christ light for each other.
