GATHER to PRAY for St. Luke’s
Jesus says:
“ And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
St. Paul says:
"Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer andpetition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints."
What a blessing it is to call St. Luke’s our church with its wonderful community offering time, talent, and treasure. Together we are the hands and feet of Christ. He has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us and keep us close to the heart and will of Jesus. Prayer is essential to everything we do. It keeps us Christ -entered, guided, protected, and in touch with His Holy Spirit.
