VBS

Polar Blast -- Where Jesus' Love is Cool!"

St. Luke's was excited to host a new VBS camp and Summer Program.  This last year was a bit different, with a leadership component for our teens and youth leaders in advance of the awesome VBS camp.

Our Annual St. Luke's Vacation Bible School was held Thursday July 26th - Friday July 27th and included Saturday Celebration Activity and Sunday Worship on July 29th. 

Our program included children from ages preschool through 6th grade.  Children had games, Bible adventure classes, music and snacks, all as they learned about God's love for them.  This year's theme was "Polar Blast--Where Jesus' Love is Cool!"

THE 500th ANNIVERSARY OF THE REFORMATION! 

We celebrated Reformation Sunday every October, but last  year was a special one with year-long celebrations.  We are reminded of the 95 Theses that Martin Luther nailed to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church to begin the process of reform and renewal.  The document spelled out the supporting ideas for the two main beliefs underlying Protestant religions, and particularly the Lutheran Church.  These two beliefs, central to our religion, are that the Bible is God’s given authoritative Word and that humans receive salvation through faith alone in Christ alone and not by their deeds.  It was a day that shaped religious and cultural history.
