Welcome!
Luther Memorial Lutheran Church Blacksburg
Welcome!
The month of May brings many celebrations: we praise God in Eastertide for the resurrection of Jesus on the third day. Students receive honors for their hard work and graduations attest to their scholarship and accomplishments, as they embark on their next adventure in life. Those who work in academia celebrate grading that last paper or project and submitting final semester grades. We honor all who provide mothering care; we honor those who died in service to this great nation. In May, we plant gardens, make summer plans and look forward to a slower pace, longer days and opportunities to enjoy nature with cookouts, travel, family reunions and outdoor worship services.
May is a celebration of God’s creative imagination, as the earth erupts into a feast for the senses: blossoms beckon, scents entice, and beauty surrounds us. May is also when we celebrate God’s priceless gift of our Advocate, the Holy Spirit.
But our joy may be tempered by the continued heartbreak of gun violence, or the scenes of war, famine and terrorism reported by the media from so many places around the globe. Despite God’s incredible imagination and creative design, we humans continue to destroy Earth and each other.
I share with you this poem by Mary Oliver, as a reminder that our lives are fleeting, and that God creates us to thrive and flourish, to enjoy every day as a precious gift. Don’t hesitate, dear friends, to feel joy and express it to the ones you love and cherish, and share joy with the stranger whom God places on your path.
Peace to all here, Pastor Monica
