History
In 1989, as we celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of St. Luke's Church, the Stewardship Committee presented an informal history of the church which was compiled through the efforts of many people. They worked from the church records and from conversations with members of the congregation and the clergy, past and present. Through the latter, they got information about the days before formal records were kept, as well as interpretation of the bare bones data found in Vestry minutes, the parish register, and The Evangel.
In 1999, as we celebrated the seventieth anniversary of St. Luke's Church, we reissued the first six chapters of that history and presented the newly compiled seventh chapter. It is our hope that in 2009 a volunteer will step forward to document the eighth decade of our common life.
This effort is dedicated with love and gratitude to all the saints who have gone before us and have made St. Luke's the wonderful community it is today.
