FREE PARKING

Please be sure to use the free garage parking. Parking for all worship services can be found in the Pointe at Greenview Place Parking Structure directly to the north of the Church Building.

The entrance is just west of 1501 W. Melrose Street and is marked with a sign to the left of the driveway into the Parking Structure. Please note: Melrose Street runs one way west at this point. If you’re at the entrance of the Whole Foods parking lot, you’ve gone too far!

All of these parking spaces, at any level, are currently available for our use, even those with “Reserved Parking” signs. Once parked, the entrance path into the Church is clearly marked.

Welcome to Saint Luke

Whether you are visiting for the first time, or are a longtime member, we are blessed to have you with us. As a Reconciling in Christ Congregation, we welcome all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions based on our belief in a radically inclusive Jesus who loved all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, religion, economic, social status, or physical abilities. Saint Luke Ministries strives to be a place “Where all are welcomed, period.”

Introduction to the day

Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.

This morning we are in transition. The festival portion of the church year ended last Sunday with the Day of Pentecost. And, while today we retain the festival environment to mark the octave of that celebration, next Sunday we begin the “ordinary” portion of the church year. The term ordinary does not suggest “without special meaning.” It refers to the numerical ordering of the Sundays that follow the season of great feasts. This long season following our observance of Lent and festivals of Easter and Pentecost is a time for growth and reflection--a time for the great events of the salvation history to take root and bear fruit in our lives.
