*Called to Worship Opening Hymn Baptized in Water FWS 2248

Invocation (From Psalm 29)

Leader: The voice of the Lord is over the waters!

All: The voice of the Lord is powerful. Leader: The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

All: The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars.

Leader: The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.

All: The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness. The Lord sits enthroned

over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.

Opening Prayer (in unison) UMH 253

God in heaven, at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan you proclaimed him your

beloved Son and anointed him with your Holy Spirit. Grant that all who are baptized

into His name may keep the covenant they have made, and boldly confess him as Lord

and Savior, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, One God, in glory ever-

lasting. Amen.

Jesus Fund Update

Thank you for your generosity to the Jesus Fund! In

December, 2015, donations totaled $630 and assisted

19 families, including 23 adults and 60 children. In-

cluded in the donation total are 41 $10 gift cards from

Matthew 25 funds. The average December disburse-

ment per person was $7.47 and all was for food. We

continue to operate with very few surplus funds. All

help is greatly appreciated.

Birthday Luncheon

TODAY!!

This Sunday, January 10,

St. Luke’s will be celebrat-

ing everyone’s birthday with a Birth-

Human Relations Day

Sunday, January 17, is Human

Relations Day. Offerings on this

Sunday strengthen outreach to

communities in the United States

and Puerto Rico, encourage so-

cial justice and work with at-risk

youth, and help to build community across all

races and peoples. These gifts are a wonderful

way a way to fulfill Jesus’ words in Matthew

25: “Whenever you did one of these things to

someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—

you did it to me.”

A Note from Cathy Schlickman

Dear Friends at St.

Luke's,

There are no words that

can adequately thank

each of you for the love and appreciation I have

felt during my last days before my retirement.

Thank you to staff, "my subs" and others I have

worked closely with during the past 5 years who

honored me with a surprise send off and to S/

PPRC and Invitation and Welcome for the awe-

some brunch on January 3.

As I said at that time, leaving is not easy, but

knowing that I can come back and sub in the of-

fice, help with tours and MT. TOP pies and

whatever else I find the time to do, made leaving

easier. I appreciate all of the beautiful flowers,

pictures, awesome gifts and words of encourage-

ment as I retire. St. Luke's has become another

extended family for me and I will not be able to

stay away!

Danielle Phillips is your new administrative as-

sistant and I have great confidence in her abili-

ties to do a wonderful job! I wish her the best

and hope she enjoys her job as much as I did.

God bless and prayers to each and every one of

you at St. Luke's! T he Ministry Fair originally sched-

uled for today (Sunday, January 10)

has been postponed. Look for a future an-

nouncement about the new date and time!

All: Amen.

A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition UMH 607

I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, ex-

alted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all

things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O Glorious and blessed God, Creator, Son, and Holy Spirit, Thou art mine, and I

am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.
