Prayer Bead Workshop
Have you ever longed for a more tangible way to pray?
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own set of Protestant prayer beads and learn how they can guide you into deeper, more intentional prayer.
Protestant prayer beads (sometimes called Anglican prayer beads) are a simple tool for reflection — helping us slow down, breathe, and move through Scripture, gratitude, confession, and intercession in a grounded, embodied way.
During this workshop, you will:
✨ Create your own custom set of beads
✨ Learn the meaning behind the bead pattern
✨ Practice using them in guided prayer
✨ Leave with a resource you can use daily
No experience required. No “right way” to pray. Just space to create, learn, and connect with God in a fresh way.
All are welcome.

The Way | Lenten Worship Series
Lent is a season of walking—together.
This year at St. Luke, we’re stepping into The Way, a Lenten journey shaped by scripture’s stories of wilderness roads, unexpected turns, open tables, and new beginnings.
Inspired by the film The Way and grounded in passages like Isaiah 43:19—“I will make a way in the wilderness”—we’ll explore what it means to trust that God is already at work ahead of us and beside us.
This isn’t about having a perfect faith.
It’s about learning to walk honestly.
With compassion as our compass.
With the Spirit as our guide.
Join us on Sundays at 10:30 AM in the sanctuary.
If you’ve been looking for a place to begin again, this might be it.

Facilitated by Tracye Mason
Epiphany Sunday | Star Words
Join us for worship on January 4th and recieve a star word for the new year.
On Epiphany Sunday, everyone is invited to pick up a Star Word—a simple paper star with a guiding word for the year. This practice is inspired by the magi who followed a star that led them to Jesus. In the same spirit, star words help us open our hearts to the ways God might be speaking, leading, or encouraging us in the year ahead.
You don’t choose your word; you receive it as a gift. Then you keep it somewhere you’ll see it—on a mirror, dashboard, journal, or fridge—and let it become a prayer prompt throughout the year.
It’s a small practice with surprising impact, inviting us to notice God’s presence in our everyday lives, to reflect, and to trust the journey ahead.
Lessons & Laughter
Join us in the sanctuary on the first Sunday after Christmas for a laid-back service full of JOY!
The birth of Christ brings good news of great joy to all people, which is cause for celebration.

It’s one of many ways we live and share good news.
Wear your favorite Christmas sweater and come prepared to smile!

Join us for a candlelight Christmas Eve service at 5 PM!

Whether you’ve been part of St. Luke for years or are looking for a place to worship this Christmas, you are welcome here. Bring your family, bring a friend, or simply bring your heart—there is room for you at the table and in the glow of the candlelight.
Come and celebrate the wonder of Christmas with us.

Advent: What do you fear? Insisting on hope this Advent season.
What Do You Fear? Insisting on Hope This Advent Season
Join us on Sundays at 10:30 AM starting November 30 st as we begin our Advent worship series.
Fear is woven into the world we live in—into our headlines, our homes, our hearts. And it’s woven into the Christmas story too. From Zechariah’s trembling in the temple to Mary’s startled yes, from Joseph’s quiet courage to the shepherds’ fear under a sky full of angels, the story of Christ’s birth begins in fear… and ends in joy.
This Advent, St. Luke invites you into a season of courageous honesty and deep hope.
Together, we’ll name the fears we carry and look for God’s presence right in the middle of them. We’ll remember that even in a fearful world, God’s promises still hold and God’s love still draws near.
Each week, we’ll listen again to the angels’ words—“Do not be afraid”—and discover that God’s good news is always louder than fear. Through worship, scripture, song, and community, we’ll explore how hope, peace, joy, and love can take root in the most unexpected places.
And by the time we reach Epiphany, we’ll see what faith looks like when we keep walking toward the light—trusting that love is stronger, joy grows deeper, and fear never gets the last word.
Come join us this Advent as we insist on hope together. All are welcome.
