CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:
Fall 2021
We are staying online until it is safe to worship in-person.
We had hoped to return to in-person worship in September, yet it is now clear that the Delta Variant of the Coronavirus makes this impossible. For this reason, we will continue to worship online (via our Facebook page). We will worship online until it is safe for us to do so inside the church sanctuary.
Fall Worship Schedule
During the week we offer Weekday Morning Prayer at 9 a.m. and Weekday Noon Prayer at 12 noon from Monday through Saturday – all on our Facebook page.
Starting Sept. 19, each Sunday we will offer Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m. and a Mass at 11 a.m. on our Facebook Page.
We’re also planning to offer Evening Prayer on special Saint’s Days once or twice a month – please check here for the schedule.
We’re working to improve ventilation at the church
Our Wardens are working with the Vestry to improve our air condition system by adding the ability to bring in air from the outside as well as "high-efficiency particulate air” (HEPA) filters to the system. The scope of these changes combined with the age of this equipment means we have to rebuild our air conditioning system in the sanctuary. We are also adding a pair of larger HEPA air filters at the back of the church (as well as one in the parish hall and a smaller one in the Sunday School room). Together these modifications will help inhibit the spread of a virus – whether it is COVID-19, the flu, or a common cold. We are “building back better.”
We’ll be back in the church when we can do so safely
We’re watching the progression of the pandemic to see when we can safely return to in-church worship. Once we can, we will.
Of course, whenever we can gather in person we will follow all guidelines endorsed by the ECCT (which are based on CDC recommendations). We will ask people joining us to wear masks and maintain social distance. We will also request that if anyone is not feeling well they please stay home and join us online. Even when we can worship in the Sanctuary, we will continue to stream our service online. In the interim, while we worship only online, we will continue to send a monthly newsletter and worship book for Morning Prayer to those who are not able to join us on Facebook. We’re also planning to offer Evening Prayer on special Saint’s Days once or twice a month – please check our Facebook Page for more information.
Thanks for your support of St. Luke’s!

Prayer for a Time of Pandemic and Prayer List Requests

Prayer for a time of Pandemic
Adapted from A New Zealand Prayer Book God of the present moment, God who in Jesus stills the storm and soothes the frantic heart; bring hope and courage to us as we wait in uncertainty. Bring hope that you will make us the equal of whatever lies ahead. Bring us courage to endure what cannot be avoided, for your will is health and wholeness; you are God, and we need you. Amen. |
We will pray for you – On the St. Luke’s Prayer List
During these difficult days, please click button below for prayer form in order to let us know if we can pray for you. Please complete the form and we will pray for you during our Sunday service and the week ahead. All prayer requests are repeated for four weeks. You can ask us to pray for healing or in thanks for recovery; in celebration of a birthday or remembrance of someone who has died. If you wish, we will pray for you by name and intention during our Sunday worship service. Please contact our priest if you would like a Mass said in memory of someone who has died. A note that our Prayer Chain is being reconsidered. We will have a link here if it returns. |
