Living As Leading: Youth Sunday

It is a solemn tradition at St. Luke’s to let our young people take over the 10 am service for a special Youth Sunday worship planned and lead by the gifted youth of St. Luke’s. This year, St. Luke’s Youth Sunday tradition has grown with the youth taking on the planning of two services – one in the fall and another in the spring.

On April 21st at 10 am in the church, St. Luke’s will celebrate Youth Sunday. Planning this worship experience is a highlight in the programmatic year for the young people of St. Luke’s, and this spring is no exception: the youth have chosen “Living as Leading” as the theme for the day’s service. On Youth Sunday, the mood tends to be more playful, and the music a bit more secular and rambunctious. Aidan McCleery, one of St. Luke’s remarkable high school seniors (pictured here as St. John in our 2023 Christmas Eve Pageant!) will be the morning’s guest preacher.

In preparation for Youth Sunday, teens from 6th through 12th grade are invited to join the youth group for lock-in the night before (April 20th at 7 pm): a rehearsal of the worship service, games, an overnight in the Undercroft, and breakfast together the next morning.
