Exploring the history and traditions of Christ's birth. How can you add meaning and depth to your Christmas celebration? In this course, the Rev. Dr. Stephen Smith explores the biblical foundations and history of Christmas along with family-favorite traditions like the Christmas tree and Santa Claus. He offers encouragement to celebrate Christ's birth by living out the values of compassion, love, forgiveness, and generosity.

Just as a reminder: Checks for donations to Jeanne Miller MUST be made out to the Jeanne Miller Cancer Treatment Fund. They cannot be made out to St. Luke's as the church cannot be used as a pass through for funds. Checks may be given to John Euson (8:00 organist) or to the office who will give them to John or to Lynda Rowntree who attends the 10:00 service.

Many thanks to all who have donated so far.

Diocesan News and Updates



Community News and Updates

Community Food Banks in the Quad City Area are Seeking Our Support, too!

Our food donation program, which benefits three of our area food banks, continues. This has been an on-going program (separate from the St. Luke's Food Pantry) where parishioners can donate non-perishable food items that will in turn be shared with the Prescott Community Cupboard, the Prescott Valley Food Bank, and the Chino Valley Food Bank. 



Your donations of non-perishable food items may be left in the wooden box in the Parish Hall. 

Thank you for your continued support of all our food donation programs!

When we say “All are Welcome” we mean ALL.
