Worship

Each Sunday at 10:30 a.m., St. Luke's folks gather for worship. While the church consists of many programs and activities, worshiping God in prayer, praise, word, music and the Sacrament of Holy Communion is at the heart of St. Luke's community. Our sanctuary, built in 1962, provides a beautiful, warm and inviting setting for worship.

The service is warm, intimate and open. St. Luke's is a church that is Progressive in Word, Open to the Spirit, Welcoming to All and United in Christ.

Our service is very "user friendly." We believe in "going with the flow" as the Spirit leads. And, the messages by our pastor is not only "good news," but designed to relate to the issues we face in everyday life.

St. Luke's is also an Open and Affirming church where all people are welcomed, affirmed and celebrated.  

St. Luke's offers a healing service four or more times a year (whenever there is a fifth Sunday in the month) during the worship hour. Our healing service consists of healing prayers and anointing by our pastors and also each healing service offers folks the opportunity to experience healing through visual and creative arts.

Every October we welcome our animal companions into our church for the "Blessing of the Animals" service.

No two Sundays are alike at St. Luke's!

We believe that it is important to keep worship fresh and exciting. Sometimes we widen the circle by receiving new members, or invite our animal companions to church to be blessed, or build a stable where all the stuffed animals sleep until the arrival of the baby Jesus, or build a fire to demonstrate how it takes all of us to keep the flames of welcome burning bright, or celebrate World Communion Sunday with the many faces of Christ, or have a Mardi Gras party, complete with King Cake, or celebrate Native American and African American heritage, or celebrate the Civil Union of our members. And, sometimes we just have fun!

So, if it's been a while since you've been to church to worship, do come to visit St. Luke's. We can promise that you won't get bored with the same style of worship every week. Stop in some Sunday and see what we've got planned for you!
