Nature Walks officially started

Our 2026 Nature Walk series kicks off this Sunday! This group meets once a month from May till October, visiting a different park each month on a Sunday. Walking together in nature fosters a deep sense of connection - slowing down, listening, seeing, and enjoying our surroundings and one another. Consider joining us for a "walk in the woods" and discovering something beautiful along the way. We gather in all weather conditions, except when severe storm warnings are present. Dogs are welcome!!

What Will Your Legacy Be?

It's one of the most meaningful questions we can ask ourselves — and St. Luke's wants to help you think it through.

Join David Heetland, Pastor of Planned Giving, for an engaging and informative one-hour workshop on the many ways you can leave a lasting legacy at St. Luke's — one that reflects your values, your faith, and the things that matter most to you. Whether you've thought about this for years or are just beginning to explore the idea, this conversation is for you.

And here's a fun detail: this workshop falls on National Legacy Day — making it the perfect occasion to take that first step.

An Invitation to Stillness — Contemplation Ministries at St. Luke's

In a world that rarely stops moving, choosing to be still is a radical act. It is also, we believe, a holy one.

St. Luke's Care & Contemplation Ministry exists to create space for exactly that kind of stillness — the kind that restores you, reorients you, and reminds you that you are known and loved by a God who is never in a hurry. Whether you're someone with a long-established prayer practice or someone who's simply been craving a few quiet minutes in the presence of something greater than yourself, there is a place for you here.

✝️ Taizé Worship — Don't Miss May 18th

If you've never experienced a Taizé service, we want to gently encourage you to come and see.

Taizé worship traces its roots to a small community in Taizé, France, that formed in the years after World War II with one simple intention: to pray for peace. What grew out of that gathering has become a beloved contemplative traditions in the Christian world — and it's easy to understand why. There is something disarming about the simplicity of it. Simple, repeated chants that settle into your heart. Scripture read slowly, without commentary. A stretch of genuine silence — ten full minutes — that gives you room to actually breathe.

Each month, St. Luke's gathers for Taizé on the third Monday in Luke's Lodge from 5:30 to 6:00 PM. It is one of the quietest, most grounding hours you can spend.

One important note: Taizé will be taking a break in June, which makes the May 18th gathering one you really won't want to miss. Come and experience it for yourself.

✨ More Ways to Find Your Stillness

Taizé is just one thread in a rich tapestry of contemplative offerings at St. Luke's. No matter how your spirit finds its center, we likely have something that will feel like home:

• Weekly Yoga Groups — a gentle, grounding practice that nurtures body, mind, and spirit together in community
• Studio 3 Art Ministry — for those who find God most readily through creativity and making; art as prayer, expression as spiritual practice
• Mindfulness Mondays — every Monday at 4:00 PM via Zoom, led by Rev. Janet Teibert. Each session opens with a poem or prayer for reflection, followed by 20 minutes of shared silence — a simple, powerful way to begin your week with intention
• Healing Partners Ministry — a unique integrative healing experience combining relaxation, gentle touch, and prayer, rooted in the belief that wholeness of body, mind, and spirit are deeply connected

Whatever draws you toward stillness — movement, silence, creativity, or prayer — we believe the practice of simply pausing in the presence of the One who knows you completely is one of the most important things we can do. And we would love for you to do it with us.
