Welcome to Fr. Steve & Family!
First Service/Reception & “Pounding” – Oct. 8
Fr. Stephen Hood joins St. Luke’s as our new rector on October 2 with his first Sunday with us on October 8. There’ll be a reception for Fr. Steve and his family following the 10:30 a.m. service along with a traditional “pounding.” Before your imagination runs away with you, a pounding is a friendship gesture dating back centuries to a time when congregations welcomed a new priest by providing a sack of flour, sugar or other staples for help fill up the new priest’s pantry. For our modern-day pounding, we’re asking everyone attending the reception to bring paper goods, canned items or maybe a frozen dinner or two. The reception Father Steve, his wife Tracy and their children will be hosted by members of the vestry. Read more here about Fr. Steve and his message to the St. Luke’s family.
