The mission of the Christian Education Committee is to facilitate spiritual growth and Christian formation for all members of St. Luke's parish by offering quality educational opportunities within the context of the Christian faith as understood by the Episcopal Church.
The children will meet in the children's Chapel on the second floor of the Parish House to participate in the Good New Express program which is a workshop rotation-style curriculum where the children experience one Bible story for four weeks. Each week the children will visit one of four classrooms for formative and interesting activities based on the Bible story. During the course of the year, the children will explore nine different Bible stories that will help them explore their Christian faith.
If you have an questions or if you would like to volunteer to help in any way, please contact Pam Part at 476-5541 or 886-4054.

Icon Study Group
Second Wednesday of Each month (September thu May)
5:30pm - 7:00pm - Parish Hall
Icons have been called "windows in the Heaven". Prayer with icons is one of the ancient spiritual disciplines of Christianity. Always, and above all else, the Holy Icons point not to themselves but to Christ. The theology of the icon is based upon the Incarnation.Icons have stood as witnesses to the Christian faith and the truth of the Incarnation since the Early church. In the same way that the beads of a rosary are strung together as an aid to prayer, so are the icons united in Christ and knit one to another in an endless procession of the faithful to God.
Come join us as we explore the prayer and symbolic language of the icon. Although this is an ongoing group, you are welcome to join at any time. For more information call Pam Park at 886-4054.
