The cost of clergy and building is provided by the pledges paid by church members. The average annual pledge is about $2,000.  Non-members and non-pledging members are asked to pay $500. There is no fee for the priest’s services. A clergy honorarium is welcome. If one chooses to offer a gift, it is usually placed in the Discretionary Fund. If such a gift is given, it should be presented to the priest directly. Normally the clergy honorarium is not less than the organist fee.

Please make one check for flowers, organist fee, administrative costs, non-member fee, and receptions payable to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. The check should be given to the Parish Administrator, who will forward it to the church treasurer for distribution, preferably one week prior to the wedding.
