Pastor Bouman’s Meditation for April 26

Today’s video is addressed to both St. Luke congregations that Pastor Bouman serves in Park Ridge and Chicago. One of the things which both congregations share is a heart and ministry for and with children. Pastor Bouman shares some memories of his own faith formation as a child, and a poem about a father and daughter and the power of the story of Jesus.

“Chicklets in church” from “the gum lady” 😊 Wonderful story!
Yesterday, I received an email from Dr. Frederick Trost, who was pastor at St. Pauls Church, Fullerton & Orchard, years ago. He & dear wife Louise sent 4 of their 5 children to Saint Luke (then known as The Christian Day School). Although Mrs. Trost directed Sunday School at St. Pauls, whenever any of their children were scheduled to sing in one of our 4 choirs, they were there! All five have gone on to become outstanding leaders, of international repute, faithful to their calling as children of God. I’m always amazed when reminded of what can happen when we let the Holy Spirit into the lives of the children entrusted to our care. Keep on! ❤
