The Congregational Council adopted at their February meeting the theme of “Building Community” for 2010. We want to not only increase the size of our faith community but also strengthen the ties within it. Realizing what a diverse congregation St. Luke Lutheran is and that many folks simply don’t know each other, the council asked the Fellowship Team to coordinate a DINNER FOR
EIGHT program that will happen on Palm Sunday evening, March 28. It is hoped that the vast majority of members will participate in sharing a meal with eight others that night. The Fellowship Team will be responsible for pairing up the participants with host families. We want to mix everyone up so that early service people are with late service people. Long term members will be with newer members and so on.
In the Fall the Evangelism Team will sponsor a new course entitled “SIMPLY CHRISTIAN.” It is a modern approach to explain the Christian faith especially to those who do not know it or might even be a little hostile toward it. The course will be offered in the evening which will include a meal, a short video presentation, and then discussion on the topic for the evening.
These are but two programs that are being specifically offered as part of the BUILDING COMMUNITY theme emphasis for 2010. Watch for more in the coming months.
