A Matter of Balance
YMCA Instructor | Parlor | 4 p.m.
This program, led by the YMCA and supported by the Areawide Aging Agency, helps older adults manage their concerns and fears about falling while increasing physical activity levels. Research has shown that individuals who complete the program feel more confident about increasing activity, plan to continue exercising, and feel more comfortable talking about the fear of falling. Participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals to increase activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and exercise to improve strength and balance. This program is intended for community-dwelling older adults who are able to problem solve, are concerned about falls, have sustained a fall in the past, or are interested in improving balance and strength.

Churches that Reveal the History of the Church
Rev. Wendy Lambert | Sanctuary | 6:30 p.m.
Sanctuary | Livestream | On Demand
What do the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Christ Church in Zanzibar, and a hidden shrine in Kasuga, Japan, all have in common? They all reveal part of the history of Christendom. From the low ceiling in the Church of the Nativity that forces people to kneel down before approaching the traditional site of Jesus’ birth, to the former slave stalls connected to Christ Church, many of the highs and lows of the Church are revealed in the buildings themselves. The class will be fun and informative as it reveals how the church grew, both because of and sometimes despite, the work of men and women throughout the centuries.
As we shared at the end of last year, 2026 is set to be an exciting and pivotal year in the history of St. Luke’s. This year, we will launch a Capital Campaign to prepare for the future! The campaign will bring new construction, renovations, and repairs that will enable the Downtown, Edmond, and Online Campuses to reach people for generations to come. These updates will create beautiful new spaces designed to inspire our members, attract guests, with a focus on young adults, and increase our missional partnerships. To focus on preparing for this important campaign, Dr. Long will not be teaching Wednesday Night Alive this semester. The Capital Campaign is set to go public in late summer or early
fall of 2026.

What does the Bible say about heaven and hell? What does it say about science and religion? What does it say about why bad things happen to good people? As part of The Year in the Bible at St. Luke’s we will be looking at what the Bible says about these universal questions and many more. Participants in this class will have a chance to submit the questions they have always wanted to know. Each week we will be looking at one of these questions to see what the Bible has to say about life’s biggest questions.
As we continue our Year in the Bible, we are currently in the prophetic books of the Old Testament. These books conveyed God’s messages to the people of Israel and Judah, delivering warnings, judgments, and words of renewal and hope. They provide a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of God’s character, His expectations for His people, and His unwavering promise of redemption.
> Play Week 1 Video: Isaiah by Rev. Keith King
> Play Week 2 Video: Ezekiel by Rev. Dave Poteet
> Play Week 3 Video: Jeremiah by Rev. Wendy Lambert
We will be discovering more about the lives and legacy of the kings of Israel, their ups and downs, and how God is present through it all. The pastors of St. Luke’s will share about Saul, David, and Solomon for a 3-week WNA class in April.
There is no doubt that parts of the Old Testament can be difficult to read or understand. Some question whether ancient texts have any value for today’s world. But the Old Testament is the scripture that Jesus taught from and is full of wisdom for us. It is made up of scriptures that inspire, educate, challenge, and transform. Join Bob and Wendy as they explore God’s message in the Old Testament.
Who was Luke and why was St. Luke’s named after him? Why did he write one of the four gospels and who was Theophilus that he addressed this book to? Join us for this study as we explore Luke’s gospel, the unique ways he shares the good news of Jesus Christ, and what this good news means for our lives.
Jesus said He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. What does that mean? What are the hallmarks of an abundant life? This class will look to scripture to see the kind of life that Christ would have us to live and the tools to live it. In addition, we’ll use the new book, Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many expressions or “cousins” in the Christian faith? What are the differences and what are the similarities? “Christian Cousins” will take a look into other expressions of the Christian faith and how their worship practices, ministry practices, and biblical interpretations differ from the Methodist traditions and interpretations. We will host guests every week who will share their faith perspectives with us in an interview setting.
Worship is the central practice of the Christian faith. Each week, we gather to worship God. It is a moment unlike anything else we experience the rest of our week. Why do we worship the way we do? What does the Bible teach us about worship? How can we grow closer to God and deepen our understanding of the practice of worship. This class will explore these questions and many more like it. All are invited to come and explore the joy of worship.
God’s everlasting faithfulness endures forever – but God’s love is revealed in an endless number of ways. The Bible has numerous examples of God working in the world through unexpected people in surprising situations. Throughout scripture and history, God has called women and men, the young and the old, the powerful and the weak, the popular and the outcast to show His love in new and imaginative ways. While the world around us tends to enjoy the status quo, Christ is continually doing a new thing. How can each one of us truly share God’s love in new and meaningful ways? Join Bob and Wendy for this Bible study that looks at God’s creativity in showing love.
John’s gospel is full of some of the most symbolic stories we find in the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry. The images are full of love, redemption, and life. Join in this life-hanging journey through John’s gospel as we study the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as John tells it, and learn the lessons that God wants us to know about how to experience life to the fullest in love.
The Book of Job uses the reality of human suffering to help us understand how to see God in a new way. This Biblical gem also helps us make sense of innocent suffering in the world. We live in a broken world that is often painful. Easy and simple answers won’t suffice for these deep questions. Join us as we listen to the wisdom in the Book of Job.
Rev. Kent Ingram leads this four week WNA On Demand Class on the first 11 chapters of Genesis describes what it means to be human, with all of our God given glory and our brokenness and sinfulness. These beautiful and moving stories help us see who we are in relationship to God and to one another. They also set up the Bible for the narrative of redemption. What are we redeemed from? What are we saved from? In this pre-history of Genesis we will learn what we mean when we say we are truly human!
How do we connect with God? How do we experience the presence and power of God at work in our world and in our lives? How do we experience the life transforming power of God in worship and in our ordinary, daily moments? When we connect with God, we become the people who are capable of sharing God’s love and hope with our world. Join us as we look at the wonderful gifts that God has given us to be filled with grace and love, each and every day.

You’ll get to learn how to make the perfect Caesar salad dressing from Chef Rhiannon. Chef Scott will teach us how to make his famous meatloaf Chef Katherine will be teaching us how to prepare the perfect salmon. Bring your appetite for this class!
Jesus told parables to explain the truth of life. He taught about mercy, purpose, and love, all through stories. His stories illustrate the depth of His love for us and His desire for us to care for others. Join Dr. Bob Long and Rev. Wendy Lambert for an exciting Bible Study that examines seven of Jesus’ parables.
The prophets hold a prominent place in our scriptures and were a vital part of the community in the Old Testament. Prophets like Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, and Jeremiah are giants in our faith. But what exactly was the message of the prophets? Does their message still hold meaning for us today? Join us for this study of the prophets to learn who they were, what they were saying, and ow they are still speaking to us today.
