  • Need the Bible's message and the Christian faith to come alive, make sense and make a difference in today’s world
  • Appreciate worship that engages the mind and touches the heart
  • Seek to find purpose in life and use their God given gifts
  • Yearn for lasting relationships in genuine Christian community
  • Desire balance in their fast-paced lives, a place of retreat where life slows down and is renewed

Will you come to grow, and worship, and serve with us?  We hope to see you soon!

Announcements

  • Sunday Worship - 10:00 a.m.

    Worship for September 20, 2026
    17th Sunday After Pentecost and Holy Communion

    We will hear more about God and His wonderful generosity as Pastor Robert gives us a little different look at the Parable of the Vineyards.  Jesus compares heaven to this Parable.  It can make us really uncomfortable to hear how God gives everyone an equal reward for different amounts of work.  How many of us come to church and talk about our fellow members who are not present?  How many of us call our friend just to complain about someone?  How many of us get really mad when we find out a new hire is getting the same or more pay than us?  If that person who is not at church was our sister, would we talk about her or call and check on her?  If that person we are complaining about is our son, would we spread the gossip or would we ask God to help him?  If that new hire was our grandchild, would we celebrate the new job?  If you are unable to attend in person, please join us online at the link below.

  • St. Luke's Hand Bell Choir

    We started our practices back on August 16 after taking a few weeks off for the summer.  We normally practice on Sunday afternoons at 5:00 p.m. in our Sanctuary as we prepare upcoming specials.  

    We are still in need of a few players in order to use all our bells.  If you have ever thought about playing hand bells, please contact Jody Perrell.  We work to play a special each month.  And, of course, we plan specials for Easter and Christmas seasons.  We are working on a Thanksgiving special.  Please come join our Hand Bell Choir!

    Please continue to pray and support our St. Luke's Hand Bell Choir.

  • Chancel Choir Practice - Choir Room (Sanctuary Bldg)

    Our Chancel Choir practices each Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Choir Room behind the Sanctuary.  We are now practicing specials to sing for the Christian Season of Pentecost including pulling some of our old anthems from our files. 

    We started our practices for the 2026 Christmas Cantata on Wednesday, August 19.  We welcome you to join us for this special Christmas celebration.  This year's program is scheduled for Sunday, December 13, 2026, during our 10:00 a.m. worship.

    If you would like to help in the choir with any worship services, it is not too late to join us!!  Please come join our Chancel Choir at any time.  We love getting together and praising God through fellowship and song! 

  • Senior Rockers Update

    We have decided to cancel September's meeting due to all the activities around the move of our old Parsonage.  We do plan to get together in October.  We'll let you know what's on the menu and how you can help.  See you then!  

    If you are retired or simply off from work, please join us for lunch and fellowship!  We enjoy time eating and visiting!   If you have any ideas for programs, please let Alice Weaver know.
