St. Luke Members Take a Stand

 

Following service last Sunday, several members and friends of St. Luke joined the "ICE Out for Good" protest outside of Lower Merion High School in Ardmore. The protest was organized by the group "Indivisible" in response to the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7.

Looking Ahead to a New Year

Pastor Qadry Harris

 

Psalm 65 is a psalm of public thanksgiving that frames the new year not around human ambition, but around God’s sustained care for creation and community. The psalm moves deliberately: it opens with praise owed to God (vv. 1–2), acknowledges forgiveness and restored relationship (vv. 3–4), and situates God as the one who answers prayer and stills chaos—both natural and political (vv. 5–8). God is then praised as the provider who waters the earth, enriches the soil, and ensures life through attentive care (vv. 9–10).

 

Verse 11 stands as the theological summit: “You crown the year with your goodness; your paths overflow with abundance.” The verb “crown” signals completion and intention. The year is not random or accidental; it is encircled by divine generosity. Abundance here is not excess for a few, but provision that spills outward—touching fields, flocks, and communities alike (vv. 12–13).

 

Ethically, Psalm 65 invites humility. If God crowns the year, we are stewards, not owners. As the new year begins, this psalm calls us to gratitude, restraint, and shared responsibility—trusting that the God who sustained us before will provide again.
