Frequently asked questions…

 What will I experience on Sunday?

Our Sunday services all center around the Holy Eucharist (also known as Holy Communion), when we bless bread and wine in the name of Christ and share them as a sign of our unity and a source of strength. Everyone is welcome to receive Communion at our altar; we believe it is how God feeds us so that we can grow in love.

The Eucharist, a word that means “thanksgiving”, has two major parts, the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of Communion. The first part reminds us of our place in God’s story as the scriptures are read, a sermon is preached, prayers are said together, and as we offer a common confession and are reminded of God’s forgiveness.  In the second part, we experience afresh God’s acts of redemption as we see the bread broken and the wine poured out and share in these elemental representations of God’s presence with us. Then, we are sent back into our world – re-energized and ready to “live the Christ life.”

What time are services on Sunday morning?

8:00 a.m. – A quiet, contemplative service with prayers, bible readings and a sermon without music held in the Chapel. A Rite I Holy Communion service conducted in traditional language, it lasts about 45 minutes.

10:30 a.m. – This family-friendly gathering brings us fine music, a taste of pageantry and challenging preaching. This is a Rite II Holy Communion service, where the language is more contemporary than Rite I. It lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes.

9:15 a.m.  – Faith Forum learning classes for teenagers and adults held in Metcalf Hall. Children attend Godly Play Sunday School in the upstairs classrooms at the same time.

Is there a Sunday morning program for children?

We have Children’s Sunday School, which is called Godly Play, beginning at 9:15 a.m. in the upstairs classrooms. During this time, parents may join in the Faith Forum discussion in Metcalf Hall, which wraps up at 10:15 a.m.

Where can I park?

Parking is available in the church lot north of the building. Many parishioners also park along Ninth St., which is convenient to the church’s south entry doors.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code. A few people dress up in their Sunday best while most of us show up in casual clothing. The important thing is that you are with us.

Where can I learn more about St. Luke’s?

Any member of the clergy staff will be delighted to talk with you after a Sunday service or anytime during the week. In addition this website provides an overview of our church family and its mission.

Where can I learn more about Episcopalians?

While St. Luke’s is seeking a new rector, you are invited to contact any member of the vestry, who can put you in touch with members who can discuss the Episcopal faith with you.

In addition, there are many online resources available. If you are just beginning to explore the faith, the Episcopal Church official website is a good starting point. To learn more about Episcopalians in Oklahoma, go to the official site of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma.
