Formation

Young Adult Formation

EMBRACING AN ALTERNATIVE ORTHODOXY, April 19- May 10, Richard Rohr on the Legacy of St. Francis - An acclaimed Franciscan leads us through a journey to discuss Atonement Theology, Eco-Spirituality, The Cosmic Christ, Orthodoxy vs. Orthopraxy, and Mysticism over Moralism.

 

Adult Formation

SURPRISED BY HOPE - NT WRIGHT, April 12 - May 17 (6 sessions), One of the world's top biblical scholars and Bishop of Durham in the Church of England reveals in six transforming, faith-inspiring sessions the amazing full scope of what God's Word has to say about the world to come and the world that is. What is heaven really like? Is our main duty as Christians simply to help non-Christians get there? In what ways does God intend for us to experience hope personally and spread its healing power to the world around us?

 

Last Day of Formation is May 17th.  

 

Summer Bible study of women of the Bible

Starting Sunday, May 31 and continuing through August 30, the women of St. Luke's will get to know the Women of the Bible. The men of St. Luke's are also invited. Each Biblical woman that spoke is discussed in the book. Her name, how much she said and what she said, who she was, what would her characteristics be, her story and what we can learn from her. We will start with "The Original Team: Women of Genesis through Judges". Sign up with Chris Schaefer glschaefer@sbcglobal.net or Joanna Seibert joannaseibert@me.com
