\"\"Holy Eucharist is celebrated at St. Luke\u2019s every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. As an expression of God\u2019s hospitality, all those seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ are invited to the Lord \u2019s Table to receive the blessed sacrament of Holy Communion. Either standing or kneeling at the communion rail, eat the wafer after it is placed in your hands, then take a sip of wine or touch the base of the chalice. For health reasons, please do not dip (intinct) the wafer into the wine and also let the priest know, if you require a gluten-free wafer. Those who would rather receive a blessing may come to the altar and indicate their desire by crossing their arms.<\/p>

\u201cThrough the Holy Eucharist the faithful eat and drink the life of Christ.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"The Sacrament of Holy Baptism marks an individual\u2019s formal entry into the Christian family and the life of the Church. People of all ages may be baptized. Infants are baptised on the strength of their parents\u2019 and godparents\u2019 commitment to raise them in the faith and life of the Church. Your child is precious to you and precious to God. At Baptism you make a decision to start your child on a journey of faith. The church and the godparents support the family and the child in this decision.<\/span><\/p>

Baptisms at St. Luke\u2019s Church are celebrated as part of the 10:30 a.m. Sunday service occasionally throughout the year, but especially at Easter, Pentecost, and All Saints. Candidates for baptism, or their sponsors, are invited to meet with the Rector to learn about and reflect on the meaning of the promises to be made. Our expectation is that candidates will continue in their involvement with the parish after they have become members of the church through the sacrament of Holy Baptism. There is normally no financial cost involved, unless a special private ceremony is requested. We welcome all inquiries about Holy Baptism.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
