Our church family is a rich mixture of young and experienced Lutherans from Dunellen and the surrounding communities. We are growing rapidly, with an average Sunday attendance of over 100 people. The vigorous Sunday School averages 45 students each Sunday morning.</font> <P><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4">Visitors are often surprised by how warm and friendly the congregation is, without being pushy.</font> <P><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4">The church offers many opportunities for participation, including the Senior Choir and Junior Choir, Bible studies, Men’s Group, Women’s Group, Couple’s Group, a sewing and craft group, a hospitality program to assist the homeless, and a number of other groups and committees.</font> </blockquote> <P> <CENTER><IMG src="images/redblue.gif" width="600" height="8"></CENTER> <CENTER> <p><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="5">From our Pastor</font></p></CENTER> <blockquote> <P><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4">The word "church" means many different things. A church is a place to worship God, a place to hear the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in word and in deed. A church is also a place to nourish you and challenge you in your own spiritual search.</font> <P><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4">St. Luke’s is a community of people who care for each other and try to reach beyond their own selfishness to help others in need. Our church is a place where children can be strengthened in their knowledge and moral foundations.</font> <P><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4">We encourage you to visit us, if you have not already done so. We hope to meet you soon.</font> </blockquote> <P> <CENTER><i><font color="#663399">Pastor Richard Kiesling</font></i></CENTER> <P> <CENTER><IMG src="images/redblue.gif" width="600" height="8"></CENTER> <CENTER> <p><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="5">Service and Sunday School Schedule</font></p></CENTER> <CENTER> <p><font color="#0000FF">Sunday School</font></p> <P>8:45 AM Weekly (September to June)</CENTER> <CENTER> <p><font color="#0000FF">Sunday Worship</font></p> <P>10:00 AM (Summer - 9:00 AM)</CENTER> <P> <CENTER>Nursery Available during Sunday Worship</CENTER> <P> <CENTER><IMG src="images/redblue.gif" width="600" height="8"></CENTER> <CENTER> <p><font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="5">Information Links</font></p></CENTER> <blockquote> <P><A href="./footprints/index.htm"><IMG height=20 src="images/foot1.gif" width=20>...Footprints Christian Preschool</A><BR><A href="./apostle/apostle.html"><IMG height=20 src="images/cross.gif" width=20>...This Month's Apostle</A><BR><A href="http://www.elca.org/state/nj.html"><IMG height=20 src="images/cross.gif" width=20>...New Jersey Lutheran Churches</A><BR><A href="http://www.elca.org/dhes/colleges/college.html"><IMG height=20 src="images/cross.gif" width=20>...Lutheran Colleges</A><BR><A href="http://www.dbonhoeffer.org/"><IMG height=20 src="images/cross.gif" width=20>...Dietrich Bonhoeffer Home Page</A><BR><A href="http://www.elca.org/"><IMG height=20 src="images/cross.gif" width=20>...Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. </A> </blockquote>  <CENTER><IMG src="images/redblue.gif" align=bottom width="600" height="8"></CENTER> <blockquote> <p><font face="Monotype Corsiva" color="#660066" size="4">If you have questions or comments about the information on this page, please send a message by E-mail.</font> <P> <CENTER><A href="mailto:OMAOF2@AOL.com"><IMG src="images/e.gif" align=middle width="50" height="27"><i>...to Pastor Richard Kiesling</i></A><i> </i> ..or.. </CENTER> <P> <CENTER><A href="mailto:webmaster@stlukedunellen.org"><IMG src="images/e.gif" align=middle width="48" height="27"><i>...to the Webmaster</i></A></CENTER> <P><CENTER><IMG src="images/redblue.gif" width="600" height="8"></CENTER></STRONG></STRONG> </blockquote> </BODY>
