St. Luke’s tries to follow
in Jesus’ footsteps by practicing care and compassion for those in
our church family and in the wider community and the world. These
caring ministries reach out to the sick, lonely and homebound in our
congregation and extended family.
Prayer Chain
We believe in the power of
prayer. Every Sunday, we name joys and concerns in the worship
service. Members of the prayer chain commit to praying daily for
those people and situations that are named. Additional requests
during the week are shared via a phone tree or e-mail, so that our
church can always respond with a community of prayer.
CD Ministry
Our weekly worship services
are recorded, and copies of the CD are duplicated. Those CDs are
then mailed out to members who are homebound, so that they can
continue to worship wherever they are.
Visitation and Home Communion
The Women’s Fellowship and
Board of Elders, along with the Pastor, make regular visits to
members and extended family who are in nursing homes, hospitals or
in-home care. The Pastor takes Communion to homebound individuals
several times a year, and to others as requested.
Caregivers Support Group
This group is designed to
offer resources, support, information and companionship for
individuals currently caring for an elderly parent, spouse or
disabled person. Facilitated by a trained social worker from
Lifespan Aging Services,
the group meets the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. and
is open to the public.
