You’re invited.

Have you ever been invited somewhere? Well, here’s my Invitation to you.

Jan 12, 2020

As I write this, I wanted to talk with you about change. Change is constant. It happens to us all. We all face change in our lives. Rather it be with school, or work, or church. It happens.

But, I’m writing this to invite you to join me. Join me for a life changing morning. My church has changed a lot within a year. When I left for camp last summer and we had our Pastor, Pastor Mark. He did a lot for our church in his time there. He changed a lot of lives.

But then we welcomed a new pastor, Pastor Brian Ebel. He came to us from Louisville KY(Boo Cards). He has been with us for 6 months now, he has already made such a big impact, not only on my life, but others as well. I’m not writing this to brag on what a wonderful pastor we have, but to invite you to join me on Sunday’s.

We gather for worship at both 9:30 and 11:00 for traditional worship, 10:35 for Contemporary worship. We all praise God differently, no matter how you worship him, you are always welcome at St. Luke. I’ll have a seat open next to me.

We learn in life that God always invites us in, no matter our struggles, hardships. He invites us. So I’m inviting you. Come join me!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):

Illinois State University

Community Link

When it comes to Bloomington-Normal, there are many outstanding factors that any Illinois State student can say are unique to our college town (and maybe others too). Proud or not, we Redbirds know all the ins and outs of Blono.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!

. . . and the library

You won't be judged for going to class in your PJ's

You will truly create yourself.

If you are an ISU student, you will come across most of these things during your time on campus.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

2. Another inevitable wait — the line at The Pub II on Wednesdays.

3. Your feet will automatically stick to the floor at Chasers.

4. The only place busier than The Alamo II during finals week for book returns is Chipotle on Halloween.

5. The. Train. Never. Stops. Choo-chooing.

6. The wind tunnel never gets better, and you never get used to it.

7. Your friends are either from a suburb of Chicago or a small town in Illinois — there is rarely an in between.

8. You know and probably love a bearded man named Bill Shields.

9. The squirrels on the quad double as our second mascot and wannabe pets.

10. The only time you really find yourself at the library is for a group project or during finals preparation.

11. You can spot a freshman a mile away if they have on their Fear The Bird shirt along with a lanyard around their neck.

12. The Normal Police Department has collected $275 from you.

13. Last, but not least, is that you just don't know what you would've done if you went anywhere else.
