Welcome to St. Luke Lutheran Church, Richmond, VA

located at the corner of Custis Road and Chippenham Parkway between the Forest Hill Avenue and Huguenot Road exits. We invite you to join us in worship, service, and love, and we look forward to welcoming you at 10:00 am on Sunday morning. We are a warm and inclusive Lutheran community, and worshipers are encouraged to dress comfortably and participate as they are able in the liturgically based service. We are a growing church and understand that newcomers are simply friends and members we do not yet know. Hope to see you soon!

If you are not ready or able to return to in-person worship yet, we continue to offer an online option for the Worship Service “Live” on our Facebook page at 10:00am Sundays for your convenience. The whole service will be printed in the Bulletin (available on this website), and you will not need any other book. The recorded services will be available later in the day, on this website (below) and on YouTube.

Members’ Notice:

Pastor Fred posted on Facebook (Thursday, Nov. 18th): “This morning at 3:30, Lesley, the love of my life, went home to God. No plans yet – still in a fog. The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this difficult time. The memorial service for Lesley Marcoux will be Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 11:00am. Her church family and friends are invited to attend as we mourn together and again sit in wonder of Christ’s promise of resurrection. There will be a reception in the fellowship hall immediately following the service.

Second Sunday of Advent

Introduction

Forerunners and messengers advance the advent of our God. While John the baptizer’s voice in the wilderness may be the principal focus of the day, Malachi’s prophecy could as easily herald the coming Christ as forerunner of the Lord of hosts. Finally all the baptized are called to participate in the sharing of the gospel. In so doing we prepare the way for the coming of Jesus and assist all people in capturing a vision of the “salvation of God.”
