The Women's Bible Study is a year round offering for the women of St. Luke's to come and discuss how Biblical narratives are relevant and applicable to their daily lives.

Men's Prayer Breakfast
Fridays year round, 7:00am
The Men's Prayer Breakfast has met faithfully every Friday morning at St. Luke's for 30+ years. Over breakfast and fellowship, men from St. Luke's and the community gather to learn more about God's Word and offer prayers of thanksgiving and intercession. The Bible Study portion of the Men's Prayer Breakfast follows the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) for the following Sunday.
