Mission Statement
We are an active, caring community proclaiming the Word of God. We seek to know God’s will as individuals and as a church, to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, to practice Christian discipleship, and to demonstrate Christ’s unconditional grace and love for all.

Recycle with a Mission
St Luke Union Church, 2021 E. Washington St, Bloomington has been recycling paper since the 1970s. And in the 1990s the church started recycling aluminum. All proceeds from the recycling program go to support local mission projects such as Home Sweet Home, Clare House and Necessities which provides underwear and socks for those who need it.

The recycling center, located behind the church, is available 24 hours a day. Recyclers can put paper such as newspaper, pasteboard, magazines etc. in the semi-truck trailer. Aluminum goes in the adjacent garage.

The church is committed to helping the environment by keeping these items out of landfills. The church is reaching out to residents of communities and rural areas where there are no recycling options. Additionally, those with curbside recycling are asked to bring aluminum and paper to the church to assist local mission programs. Some residents bring items after a large gatherings. The church is located on the east side of Bloomington so recyclers can plan to drop off materials when running errands or going out to eat on the east side.

Twice a year the church also holds a special Saturday drive for scrap metal and electronic items. The church’s motto is “Recycle Religously at St. Luke Union Church.” Help us to fill our paper truck and aluminum recycle bin more frequently.

 Recently from Pastor Andy…

   I don’t know if any of you read or heard in the news that scientists believe to have found the “God Particle.” With this discovery they think they can begin to solve the fundamental riddle that the universe was created out of nothing by the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago.  Scientists at the Geneva based European Organization for Nuclear Research, (ironically the same place that John Calvin constructed the five tenets of faith), have announced that they have found what appears to be a Higgs boson, or the God particle.
What is a Higgs boson? It’s a subatomic particle that helps explain why matter has mass, acting as a gathering point for tiny basic building blocks to form into atoms. They hope this discovery will help explain the formation of the universe. It is said that 1 in 1 million sub-atomic collisions to produce a God particle.
What could this mean for those of faith and believe that: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth?What does this new discovery of a scientific explanation of how the universe was created, do to affirm or deny the existence of a providential and active God?
Well it doesn’t. Scientific discoveries have long been beneficial in aiding humanity to live easier and more productive lives. To discover cures for diseases and to construct things that assist humanity to remain safe from natural disasters, but science has to be able to explain why.  Why the universe and our world were created? Why we live and seek to know and understand more about creation? It’s because we have not been able to look deeply into the mystery of God, the mystery of God’s love for humanity, and humanity’s desire to be drawn into God’s presence.
A complete understanding of how the universe was created in less important than looking to figure out why the universe was created. Humanity’s desire to learn more about the mystery of “why” seems only to draw us closer to God, our creator. Why God created, why God redeems humanity, and why God sustains us in our earthly home.
When my time comes to stand before God, I know that the questions that I have will be less about how and more about why? Why the love of God is so great that he came to redeem us as Jesus Christ.
Peace,
Pastor Andy
