Welcome to This Week at St. Luke’s for the second week after the Epiphany, January 17 to January 24, 2026.

This week we will come together for our Annual Meeting, to hear good news about the church and our fellowship together. Please remember there is no 5pm Holy Eucharist Saturday the 17th. We hope everyone comes together Sunday morning for our 11am Sung Holy Eucharist and for the following Annual Meeting. A pot-luck supper will follow the meeting.

Next Saturday, the 24th, our 5pm Said Holy Eucharist resumes, and we will have our 12:10pm Wednesday Healing Eucharist this week as well.

Please see below for our full weekly schedule, important announcements and upcoming events, livestream links, and our parish prayer list.

Molly’s Little Food Pantry – We will continue to collect non-perishable food for Molly’s food pantry at Nay Aug park. You can donate by adding food to the shopping cart in Kreitler Hall or by adding items directly to the pantry located near the helipad at the park.

We will continue to accept financial donations to cover all of the costs for this year and to plan for next year.
