        Welcome, Welcome, Welcome -

Welcome To Our Visitors - We welcome all who have come to visit our website and invite you to come and join us on Sunday at our service. 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 all who come here be showered with those blessings as we together profess His Holy and Triune Name. Please look through what is happening at St Luke's.

Whether you are passing through, or looking for a new Church Home, today you are one with us. Our ANGLICAN SERVICE BOOK may seem unfamiliar at first, but it is an edition of the Book of Common Prayer in classical language. Should you need assistance, please feel free to ask someone seated near you.

Stewardship Reminder -

 If you haven't filled out your Commitment Card, we ask you to please consider doing so at your earliest opportunity. Your statement of commitment is important for the life of your church.  By making your commitment you enable the Finance Committee and the Vestry to properly plan for the coming year. Consider what a task it would be if you didn't know how much money you could expect to receive during the next year.  You wouldn't be able to plan a budget. You would have no idea of how much you could spend on food, clothing, and the other necessities. So it is with the parish. We urgently need your support. For those who have already filled out a commitment card: we thank you: we truly appreciate your support.  Continued

CHRISTMAS BAZAAR -another successful Bazaar is in the past. However, it is never too early to be thinking about the Bazaar for 2008. Start working on projects that you can donate to the table at St. Luke's.  Do you have any ideas on how we can enhance this event. If so please get in touch with a member of the ECW. Call the office at 215 968 2781  for additional help. 

Sign up with Ruth Mooney if you would like to help out with baking cookies for the Bazaar.
