Sermon Stammtisch with Vicar Brady
This week in the gospel, we encounter Luke’s unique telling of the Beatitudes, with both “blessings” and “woes.” Come reflect on the sermon and what Luke’s telling of the gospel means for our lives today.

Bible Study – Overview of Luke
We are in Year C of our three year lectionary cycle for worship (where we read primarily from Matthew, Mark, and Luke in different years…with a bit of John sprinkled throughout). This is the year of Luke. At potluck this week, we will do an overview of how the different gospels fit together, and we will discuss what makes Luke unique among them. Bring a dish to share if you can, and plan to join in!

Pot Luck & Service Project for MLK Jr. Remembrance
Our potluck this Sunday will include the assembling of hygiene bags for Mobile Loaves and Fishes, as we honor the legacy of the martyr Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After bags have been assembled we will read some of Dr. King’s work, discuss his life and martyrdom, and our call to serve God and neighbors in the light of this modern martyr for Christ.

Baptism of Our Lord & Our Own Baptismal Stories
As we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord, we’ll spend our potluck time also discussing our own baptismal stories as well as the baptismal theology of the Lutheran Church and the early Church. You are encouraged to bring a dish that you most associate with baptism, be it a meal that was enjoyed on the day of your baptism or on the baptism of a loved one.
Potluck Topic 1/5/25
Epiphany Traditions & New Year’s Intentions
At potluck, we will discuss further the global tradition of blessing homes at Epiphany, as well as more recent Epiphany traditions, like star words. We will also spend some time discussing how to create life-giving intentions for the new year…perhaps expanding the practice of “resolutions” to encompass new things we haven’t thought about before.

Faith & Civic Life – Putting it into Practice
This Sunday for potluck, we will follow up on our previous series by holding a ballot research session where folks can look over their sample ballot and research down ballot candidates and other issues for the upcoming election. We will also go over the legislative priorities that have been released by Texas Impact for the upcoming Texas State Legislative Session beginning in January.
