Welcome to the E-News!
Connecting you to the events, meetings & services at St. Luke’s, Metuchen - January 29, 2026
Gospel Reflection
This week's Gospel contains perhaps the most famous words of Jesus: the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, that portion we call "the Beatitudes." This is Jesus explaining what it means to be blessed: who might consider themselves and why. Jesus surprises his listeners; if you are listening you will likely be surprised, too! As we prepare four Annual Meeting this weekend, let us reflect together on God's invitation and calling to us: what does the Lord require?
