Welcome to St. Luke’s Church St. Luke’s Church is a warm, friendly, and active parish in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, in the Episcopal church in the United States. · Founded in 1766, a Parish of the Church of England was established in Newtown. They erected a brick building, but that congregation disappeared- perhaps during the War of Independence when feelings toward anything “English” ran high... cont. · Providing traditional Anglican values in both our view of ministry and in our liturgical and pastoral style · Worshipping in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, using The Anglican Service Book and The Hymnal 1982 · Affiliated with the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes in the Episcopal Church, a network to provide a way for orthodox Episcopalians to stand together in a new unity to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to begin to build a new future for Anglicanism in North America ·
Guided in all we do by our
parish mission statement: St. Luke’s
is a community that is committed to….. the Great Commission, to calling people into a relationship with Jesus
Christ, to teaching people how to live a Christ-like life, and to serving
others in need. We
welcome all in the name of Christ. We
offer a well-developed Christian Education Program because we believe that
it is spiritually essential for everyone to learn not only what he or she
believes, but why. Our
musical traditions are outstanding in quality. We
offer many opportunities to become involved in the life and work of the
church. Give us an opportunity to meet you and welcome you to St. Luke's. We warmly welcome all who come to worship our God! Each day we live is a priceless gift from God, loaded with possibilities to learn something new, to gain fresh insights into His great truths. May we be showered with those blessings as we together profess His Name. Whether
you are passing through, or looking for a church home, we hope that you find our
community welcoming and that you will consider joining us as we encounter
Jesus through our use
of the Anglican Service Book,
which is an edition of the Book of Common Prayer completely in classical
language. If you have a church home and are simply visiting, we hope that you enjoy
your time with us, that you feel the power and presence of the Holy
Spirit, and that you join us again soon. Parishioners ******************************************************** If you have any questions about the church, you can contact us via e-mail at the parish office. or call (215) 968-2781. Website designed and administered by Jerry Mooney. |
