Join us for the January Table Talk,
 "Are We on the Cusp of a Revival?"
1/24, 11:00 am - Conference Room
1/28, 7:00 pm - Zoom
In his Christian Century article, Pr. Benjamin Dueholm ponders whether a revival of Christianity is underway in the United States.

We will consider whether we have noticed any signs of this revival in St. Luke, the Pacific Northwest, and the country. What might such a revival mean for the life and ministry of our congregation as we move into the future?

Rev. Mark Brocker, Theologian in Residence, will lead our Men’s Lenten Retreat. Guided by Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, we'll consider how our life together as the people of St. Luke can be a form of resistance in this unsettled political time.
