Worship As We Social Distance

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and our worship partner at Church of the Good Shepherd are pleased to offer you an opportunity to worship with us each week by video during this time of sheltering-in-place and social distancing. These times call for us to be the church more than ever before, and we’ll answer the call even if that means we can’t be physically together. May peace and God’s blessings be with you and keep you safe.

Dear Friends,
These are challenging times we’re living through, to say the least. Yet, in times such as these we discover what being the church really means. We discover the relationships at the heart of our community of faith are what matter most. We discover that loving God and our neighbors as ourselves truly is the essence of our faith.
 
Please know that in the days and weeks ahead, your clergy and church staff will do everything in our ability to continue making church happen and provide ways for us to communicate with each other, care for one another, and worship and pray together.
 
Beginning this Sunday, we will post a recorded worship service on both the Facebook page and parish website of both St. Luke’s and Church of the Good Shepherd. We will also post links to the worship service that will be livestreamed, each Sunday, from the mother church of the Diocese of Missouri, Christ Church Cathedral.
Click here for the link to the Christ Church Cathedral livestream service on Sunday at 10:00 AM
 
While these can’t take the place of worshiping together as we are accustomed, it can provide us with a sense of our interconnectedness with God and each other. So, please stay in touch, with us, as we will do the same to reach out to each of you on a regular basis. Know that you remain in our fervent prayers.

In Christ,

The Rev. C. Earl Mahan, Rector
The Rev. Dr. Pamela Stuerke, Asst. Priest
The Rev. Dayna Jewson, Deacon

Welcome to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church

Whether you found this website by accident or intentionally, we believe it was meant to be and are happy you’re here. If you’re lost and need to be found, perhaps you can find yourself here at St. Luke’s. If you’re hoping to identify your spiritual gift and purpose in this life, perhaps we can help identify it here at St. Luke’s. If you’re looking to belong, perhaps you belong here at St. Luke’s. 

We believe the definition of “church” extends beyond our walls. We are a congregation that cherishes our Anglican heritage and traditions while striving to live out our discipleship and worship through weekly shared communion, community engagement, and a commitment of service to others. 

As you learn about the ministry of St. Luke’s, we hope that you will visit us on Sunday morning at 10 AM for worship and share in the celebration of Christ’s empowering love and hope, so that together, we can share the love of Jesus Christ with the world.
