When God Prays

One Way to Read Scripture

this week, St Luke's Church was honored by a visit from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, the Right Reverend Carrie Schofield-Broadbent. You can hear her wonderful sermon on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=st.%20luke%27s%20eastport [https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=st.%20luke%27s%20eastport]. Instead of trying to reproduce her sermon here, this first episode of our 3rd season focuses on Reverend Lauren's approach to reading Scripture. We'll return to our regular format next week.

Remembrance and Hope on Pentecost

This week, we celebrate the arrival of the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Pentecost as well as Memorial Day. While Pentecost is traditionally celebrated as the birthday of the Church, the conjunction of the two holidays on the calendar this year invites us to look at this very special feast day from a different perspective.
