Online Worship, Text Message Prayers, Online Giving and More

Dear People of Saint Luke',s

As you have hopefully heard by now, Saint Luke's and other Episcopal Churches around the country are not meeting in person for the next two weeks. It is a part of our Christian duty to care for the most vulnerable among us and the best way to do that right now is refrain from in- person meetings. 

Our church is not closed in spirit. We are still the body of Christ and will find new ways of connecting digitally in the coming weeks. We will livestream Morning Prayer this Sunday at 10am and connect via Zoom and text message soon. Information for this Sunday's livestream is below. 

We also have to be honest and aware of the fact that our finances are dependent on plate and pledge offerings. As we worship digitally in the next few weeks, please continue to submit your financial offering as you are able. It is vital that our staff continue to be paid in the midst of all this. That is for their own health and safety and also for the United States economy. Please scroll down for information on giving digitally. Also, please make an effort to call people in the parish and make sure they know about all of this. If folks don't have email, help them sign-up for the text messages. Details are below. Thank you!
