"What is Blaze?"
Blaze is the Walking with Purpose ministry for girls in 6-8th grade. The mission of Blaze is to use Scripture to speak truth into the hearts of young girls who are bombarded by lies about their true worth and beauty. Middle school girls are filled with questions. They have doubts, desire clarification, and want to share their thoughts in a space that will allow them to make their relationship with God personal and meaningful. Each week, participants will be led through an ice breaker activity and a short lesson based on a lie found in the world and a truth found in Scripture.
This 20 week program begins on October 10th. We will meet on Thursdays at St. Luke School during middle school lunch and recess (11:50am-12:35pm) in the Youth Room (room 4 of St. Luke School). We will have the chance to eat lunch before starting the bible study and activities. Dr. Barbara Miller and Sara Hammett are excited to pour their experiences in Walking with Purpose and Middle School Ministry into this program as mentors for Blaze. Complete the online permission form to sign your daughter up for Blaze.
The Contemporary Ensemble provides the music ministry to the 9:00 am Sunday Mass throughout the school year. This Ensemble consists of professional and amateur musicians, grades 7 and up, who lead with vocals, piano, guitars and other instruments (strings, woodwinds and brass). Singers of ALL skill levels are encouraged to join. For more information please click the image above to go to the Music Ministries page.

Youth groupings are small communities of peers that are centered in Christ as well as common interests.
What you see above are a few of the groupings we currently offer, but as St. Luke Youth Ministry grows, more youth groupings will be established and will be shown in our calendar. Youth groupings can be large or small, one-time events or long-term groups, and they can be organized around any passion, skill, or interest.
If there's a youth ministry opportunity you would like to see at St. Luke, God could be calling us to work together and make it happen - so let us know your ideas (youthministry@saintlukemclean.org)!
