Welcome to St. Luke Lutheran Church, Richmond, VA
on the corner of Custis Rd. and Chippenham Parkway between the Forest Avenue and Huguenot Road exits. We invite you to join us in worship, service and love, and we look forward to welcoming you. We are a warm and inclusive Lutheran community, with a good spread of young and old alike, and with members from diverse racial groups. We are a growing church and understand that newcomers are simply friends and members we do not yet know. We extend a warm welcome to everyone and invite strangers to become our friends. Our morning congregation generally varies between 80 and 120 people, and we have an active Sunday School for all ages.

Introduction
Today’s festival derives its name from the Jewish festival of Pentecost, observed fifty days after Passover. On the fiftieth day of Easter we celebrate the Holy Spirit as the power of God among us that heals, forgives, inspires, and unites. In the reading from Acts, images of wind and fire describe the Spirit poured out on disciples of all nations. In John’s gospel the risen Christ breathes the Spirit on his followers on Easter evening. In the one Spirit we are baptized into one body, and at the Lord’s table the Spirit unites us for witness in the world.
