MONTHLY
COMMUNION Every Sunday morning, January 8-February 12
Now that the holidays are over, the world will be turning its attention to Indianapolis as we proudly host Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5, 2012. On January 8, we will launch our first sermon series of 2012, “The Greatest Game.” In his letter to the church at Philippi, Paul writes, as he describes working toward having a fuller relationship with Jesus, “Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.” What are our goals in pursuing a more Christ-like existence? How do we play the “game” that we call life? Join us as we examine these and other life questions.
Seeing the Unseen St. Luke’s emphasis for 2012 will be to consider what it means to see the unseen. What is the unseen future God has for us? What are the possibilities? What are the tangible ways God would have us share His love that make an impact in people’s lives near and far? “Seeing the Unseen” will be our theme this year. When we ask, “Where would God have us go in the coming decade?” what do you see? Tomorrow’s reality will come from that! Stay tuned for more information on the opportunities we will have to learn and grow as we journey together in ministry everyday in 2012.
