Plenty Good Room
This season we answer the Church’s need for our time, talent, and treasure. And the theme for this year is “Plenty Good Room.” As the spiritual says, “There is plenty good room at our Father’s table, just choose your seat and sit down.”
We all understand the Church’s need for room, and we answer that need:
Room for Free Lunch
Room for Little Essentials Pantry
Room for meetings, Guide Dogs, AA, and others who need a place to gather.
However, for me, the hardest act is making room in my heart to love and forgive those who have hurt me. I marvel at Corrie ten Boom who survived the Nazi concentration camp Ravensbrück. After the war, she traveled through Europe preaching forgiveness. Then one day, a former camp guard who she recognized approached her and extended his hand asking for forgiveness. At first, she could not take it. So, she prayed. And at that moment, she found the strength to reach out her hand in forgiveness.
Then there is the extraordinary forgiveness Joseph gave his brothers after they threw him into a pit and sold him into slavery. Who forgives like that? I would have schemed a retribution for twenty-two years.
And the apostle Stephen, who, as he was being stoned to death, prayed “Father, do not hold this sin against them.”
And of course, Christ himself: “Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
Perhaps PLENTY GOOD ROOM asks more of us than TIME, TALENT, and TREASURE. Perhaps it asks us to make room within ourselves.
Room for the outcast
Room for the stranger
Room for those we disagree with
Room for forgiveness
Room for generosity
So, with strength in your heart, make plenty good room – and as you consider your pledge of time, talent, and treasure, make room to give generously.
Welcome to the Episcopal Church in the Worldwide Anglican Communion
Welcome to the website of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Wenatchee, WA.
We are a Christian and Gospel centered community. We invite you to experience our community of Christians who gather here. We know that this creation of God's is full of beautiful diversity that we celebrate. While Sunday is the day in which we engage in our formal and communal worship of God and Jesus Christ, there are many other opportunities and times in which we proclaim the Good News of God's continuing action in the world.
We are a community that strives to engage our Christian discipleship through worship, study, discourse, service to others, fellowship, laughter, and generally having a good time, whether in our church building or out and about in the beautiful city of Wenatchee. Take a look around at our website, or our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/st.lukeswenatchee) but even better, as Jesus said to those he gathered, “Come and See!”
St. Luke’s Mission and Vision Statement

A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP pg.100
