WORSHIP
ABOUT OUR WORSHIP
Worship is a priority at St. Luke's. Through prayer and praise, we orient our lives towards the love of God and neighbor. We have services suited to a variety of styles and schedules.
Nursery is available at the Sunday morning service. Each service includes communion and all, including children, are invited to join. Our campus is ADA accessible and individuals with special needs are always welcome.

Sunday 10:00 am
The Sunday morning service is grounded in the ancient tradition and enduring poetry of The Book of Common Prayer. This service is filled with inspiring worship accompanied by our choir and organ. Through a rich collection of hymns, prayers, and readings, we join in worship with over 80 million Christians in the Episcopal and Anglican tradition around the world.
Saturday 5:30 pm
The Saturday afternoon service began in 2005 as a way to offer an additional service time. and provide a different style of worship for our parishioners. This service is more contemporary in its offerings of music provided by the St. Luke's Reflection praise band. Worship is rooted in the Episcopal tradition with prayers and readings from the Book of Common Prayer. Other worship offerings during this period including Taizé and the Saturday Easter Vigil.

St. Luke's worship is highly participatory, relying on many volunteers who make our services happen. There are many opportunities for volunteering, and whether you've been at St. Luke's for 20 years or twenty minutes, we invite you to join us in glorifying God through serving in worship.
