Welcome
Abiding Presence Lutheran Church is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of San Pedro Avenue (US281) and Oak Shadows Drive. APLC is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We are a vibrant, loving congregation representing God's dynamic presence in the San Antonio community for over 20 years. We invite you to come visit and worship with us.
As we approach the end of Epiphany, have you been traveling safely on the same road, or have you taken another road? Is this New Year just the same as last year, or have you been seeking a new direction for your life and your relationship with God? Abiding Presence has intentionally been trying to encourage each of you to take another road; to find time to be with God each and every day.
As we continue our Walk to Jerusalem, over 1800 miles have been logged. That means people are taking time out of their day to spend it with God in conversation, prayer, and exercise. We are closing in on our goal of 7400 miles. But more important is that people are finding time to spend with God in conversation. That is taking another road!
We have raised over $5,000.00 for Water to Thrive, which is not only raising awareness to the plight of women traveling the terrains of Ethiopia to get clean water, but is also raising funds to build yet another well. By taking this road we are making it possible for those women and young ones to receive education instead of scars from carrying water. This is taking another road!
These are some examples of how we are trying to take another road. Maybe you have an estranged relationship. Maybe you have a co-worker that is grieving. Maybe you have been missing from church, society, or from being honest with yourself about unhealthy habits. Whatever the case, we invite you to take another road. Reach out to that friend, hug that co-worker, challenge yourself to step out of the same old routine of dealing with life’s complexities and take another road.
Jesus came into this world as a baby, not the mighty champion that was envisioned. He took another road. Jesus called teenage rejects and ate with the unclean. He took another road. Jesus spoke out against the injustice of the day and taught about God’s love that engulfs the entire world and all that inhabit it. He took another road. Jesus sacrificed all for the other, for you! He took another road.
