A St. Luke AV team has been formed with the purpose of enhancing our congregation's worship through sight and sound - whether our congregation is at home streaming our worship or in person at our sanctuary.

Stay tuned for more information!

St Luke Radiant In-Person Worship
Volunteer Opportunity
If coming to an in-person service is more comfortable for you now, perhaps you would like to be part of the worship team as an usher. The usual duties include setting up the bulletin table, greeting and directing attendees to the bulletins (and communion cups on specified weekends), and keeping a record of attendance (for potential COVID tracing). If you are interested, please contact the church office at 299-2621 or at stluke@thuntek.net and a representative from the Worship, Music & the Arts Committee will contact you to talk about scheduling. Helpers are needed for both Saturday and Sunday services, so pick the service you prefer to attend. We look forward to seeing you in person.
