Our Worship Services
Worship Services
Worship at St. Luke’s takes place in a variety of settings – in our sanctuary, our chapel, our garden, and online.
Each Sunday and on other occasions, we share Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion. That’s when we remember, as Christ told his disciples at the Last Supper, to eat bread and drink wine “in remembrance of me”.
The worship style of the Episcopal Church comes out of the Anglican liturgical tradition. While practicing traditions that are tried and true, we welcome fresh expressions of the Holy Spirit to enhance our worship. Both old traditions and new expressions bring us closer to Christ and ground us in the swirl of our fast-paced lives.
Our worship takes us on a spiritual journey—one where we:
- pray together
- listen to scripture readings to hear God’s word
- listen to sermons that bring deeper meaning and relevance to the readings
- sing hymns that praise God and give thanks
- silently reflect to find inner renewal and strength.
We invite you to come worship and journey with us! All are welcome.
Sundays at 8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite I
On Sundays at 8:00 a.m. we share the Holy Eucharist in our chapel. We follow Rite I in our prayer book, which we call The Book of Common Prayer. Rite I is a form of worship that has the beauty of the English language as it was spoken and prayed by our forebears. There is no music at this service, and the quietness lends itself to a more meditative experience.
Sundays at 10:15 a.m. Holy Eucharist: Rite II
We begin this service by gathering to celebrate those having birthdays and anniversaries. We share announcements and give folks an opportunity to ask for prayers and to share happy events. We follow the Rite II order in The Book of Common Prayer, which uses contemporary English language.
Music is an integral part of this service. We enjoy a variety of musical traditions, ranging from solemn anthems to robust bluegrass. Our choir eagerly welcomes newcomers. Read more about this ministry at the Music tab.
This service is family-friendly with involvement of children and youth. Participation by members of all ages brings a wonderful inter-generational feel to the worship.

While we have these different expressions of worship, we are one community. We hold great reverence for the breadth of our worship and a desire to be open and inclusive of all, to respect the dignity of every human being, and to love each other as Christ loves us.
