Healthy connections to the community and our shared stories

Children’s Programming at St. Luke

St. Luke’s children’s program is a wonderful way for our youngest members to make lasting friendships with each other and with caring adults.  Our curriculum finds meaning in the old stories that come to us from the Bible, the earth and each other.

St. Luke’s focus on children and youth.  “Inspire more children and youth to lives of spiritual depth, wholeness, compassion and engagement with the world.”  Donald Hanna, our Associate Pastor of Children’s, Youth, and Family Programs at St. Luke is helping us develop and implement programs and activities to support children and their families in their faith journeys.  St. Luke is a community where families can grow together.

 Children's Choir.  The Children's Choir practices from 9:10 to 9:30 am in sanctuary. All children from K-6 grades are encourage to participate.

Education Hour.  Sunday school runs from 9:30-10:25 am during the school year.  We start in the east room with gathering time, then split into three classes (preschool, K-2 and 3-4, with 5th graders choosing to help the younger classes or participate in the oldest class).  Elementary classes attend workshops—cooking, science, games, storytelling, arts or music—learning a single Bible story in a variety of ways.

Activities.  Faith Partners.  Children and adults are paired up for special attention:  friendly Sunday greetings, birthday wishes, occasional outings.  Call the office to sign your child up for his or her very own faith friend.

Our wonderful volunteers
We have an incredible group of volunteers who have been working extra hard between pastors.  A big thank you to all of them!  With the excitement of a new program year and the leadership of our new associate pastor, you’ll want to be part of the action at St. Luke.  Please consider volunteering to teach, lead a craft at Gift-Making Workshop, be a Faith Friend, help with the pageant, or offer an idea of your own to share.
