Wednesday Night Alive

Is it possible to know what life after death is like? What is the unforgivable sin and should we be worried? What is the Trinity and how can we better understand God in three persons? What are the “end times” and what can we know about them if even Jesus doesn’t know the day or hour when they will occur? In this study we will examine some of the deeper questions of our faith.

In a time where we struggle with right relationships in our families and in our communities and country we need to know how to forgive and be forgiven.  We hold onto grudges that weigh us down and destroy our souls.  Using a book by Adam Hamilton about forgiveness…Rev. Dave Poteet will lead us on a four-week journey inviting you to think about the people or groups of people you need to forgive or be forgiven.

Dave is the Pastor of Congregational Care at St. Luke’s and has served St. Luke’s twice during his ministry. He served for five years at St. Luke’s after graduation from Perkins School of Theology, then helped plant BridgeView UMC in Norman in 2000 and returned to St. Luke’s in 2010. Dave is married to Kelly and they have six children between them and three grandchildren.

This group is focused on knitting, crocheting, and other craft projects. Many in our group make beautiful prayer shawls, which the Care Team gives to those who are ill or grieving. Bring your craft project and join us. All skill levels welcome.  This class is group-led.

6^th-12^th grade youth will come to enjoy fun, fellowship, and a time to connect spiritually.  We will meet in the youth rooms at each campus for games, fellowship and a Bible-based lesson and discussion each week. All planned and led activities will respect levels of comfort with social distancing as we seek to spread joy, community, and kindness with each other!

This summer we will be learning about different lessons that Jesus taught us so we can better serve him.  Kids will have fun playing games, enjoying fellowship, and learning a Bible-based lesson each week.

Nursery is available for those attending classes in person.

Facing a global pandemic, economic turmoil, record unemployment rates, and racial divides can lead to a wide range of emotions – from anger and sorrow to gratitude and praise.  All of these emotions are biblical and part of our faith tradition.  This class will take an in-depth look at the Psalms to see the ways Psalms were written for all different life circumstances and see how these messages of our faith still speak to our lives today.

We will explore God’s treatment plan for anxiety found in Philippians 4:4-8.  We will follow this prescription – celebrating God’s goodness, asking for his help, leaving our concerns with him, and meditating on good things while experiencing God’s peace.  A peace that will help us reframe the way we look at our fears.  Anxiety is a part of life, however, it doesn’t have to dominate our lives. We will discover a life of calm and develop tools for combating the onslaught of anxiety.

Six months ago would you have believed it if I told you we were going to be living in a pandemic and there would be millions out of work, the stock market was up and down on a dime and in the midst of it all we are addressing major racial issues? Many people are experiencing chronic grief and anxiety with all the unknowns out there.  Loss of jobs, loss of income, potentially loss of friends or family members due to Covid 19, loss of freedom to live as we did just a few months ago and loss of peace and security in losing our “normal”.

Come and join me as we discuss how all of this has impacted all of us and what we can do to adapt and continue to live the life God wants for us.  This is a class that will involve voluntary discussion.  I will open a topic each week and we will see where we go.  I hope you will join me.
