We worship every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. Our service has a
fairly traditional style, but with fresh energy and a family
feeling. All are welcome to come as they are—suit and tie not
required!
Each week our service includes: a time of welcome and
announcements, unison and responsive prayers, a children’s message,
sharing of our joys and concerns, an anthem by the choir or other
special music, one or two scripture readings, a sermon, an offering,
and congregational singing of hymns. We have a bulletin each Sunday
to help everyone follow along in the service, which includes our
prayers, scripture readings, hymn numbers and announcements about
activities at St. Luke’s.
We celebrate the Service of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of
every month. Usually we have “pew communion,” where the congregation
remains seated and passes individual pieces of bread and cups down
the pews. From time to time, we will invite everyone to come to the
front to be served. We always offer both wine and grape juice for
Holy Communion.
Children are always welcome to be a part of our worship, but a
nursery is also provided. The nursery is available throughout the
service for all children under age 5. Elementary and middle-school
children usually attend worship and participate in the children’s
message. Youth participate in the service, and then meet as a group
after worship.
In addition to Sunday morning worship, we have additional
services for special occasions such as Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday,
Lent, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. Every time there are
five Sundays in a month, our youth group leads the service on the
fifth Sunday, with special music and drama pieces.
After worship, we enjoy a social time in our fellowship hall,
where we can connect with old friends and meet new ones over a cup
of coffee and some homemade treats. One Sunday each month, we
celebrate Birthday Sunday, and salute those celebrating their
birthday with cake for all
