• Sunday Worship during COVID

  Sunday April 18 pdfs for Worship Bulletin and Announcements

  St Luke's Sunday morning worship gathers in two Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall
  Face masks are required in all buildings.

  • Pastor and musicians lead worship in the Sanctuary. 
  • A high quality super-size live audio/video is shared in the Fellowship Hall. 
  • Or watch LiveStream link online, an option for those of our members that are not yet comfortable worshipping indoors, as well as for others in the community, family living further away, etc. Videos archive of prior services are available on our YouTube channel (unfortunately, YouTube seems to drop/lose some of our livestream content) 

  Social distancing:  Tables and pew seating have been modified appropriately, with select pews open and others closed.  One “family” per pew, or individuals/couples on opposite ends.  Please maintain safe distance from others.

  Changes include: 

  • Vocal music by a limited choir
  • No congregational singing, which is shown to be high-risk
  •    Though feel free to hum along with the choir!
  • No passing of the peace
  • Offering boxes at entrances rather than passing an plate
  • No “children’s message” prior to scripture & sermon
  •    But expanded “children’s church” is offered instead (kids leave at first hymn, return after the sermon)
  • Many liturgical elements have been modified or moved
  • Please “whisper” the Creed and Lord’s Prayer
    You'll notice other adjustments as well.

  Many cherished experiences will be added back into our worship service, perhaps in modified forms as soon as we believe we can safely do so.
