“Morning and eve the old bell rings;
Its silver voice is calling me
To prayer and quiet sanctuary
Here in the heart of things…”
Poem excerpt “The Church in the Heart of Things” by David Pugh Griffith, from A History of St. Luke’s Church, by the Reverend Robert Philip Kreitler.
Saint Luke’s Episcopal Church is an inclusive community. We celebrate Eucharist (from a Greek word meaning ‘thanksgiving’) through word and sacrament every Saturday at 5:00 pm (Said liturgy) and every Sunday at 10:00 am (Sung liturgy with our professional quartet). We also offer a midweek Healing Eucharist on Wednesdays at 12:10 pm.
All are warmly welcome.

The Nativity window designed by Tiffany Studios, was given in 1910 in memory of Mrs. Lydia Merell (Poore) Dickson, wife of George L. Dickson. It is one of the exquisite details of St. Luke’s. Our current edifice, built in 1871 was designed by renowned ecclesial architect, Richard Upjohn. The interior was rebuilt and improved in 1905 under the artistic direction of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
