Anglican: Biblical and Historic Roots and the Anglican Way of Doing Life Together in Christ

Our Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian body worldwide, tracing its roots back through the Reformation to the New Testament Apostolic Church. 

Join us each week thru October 29th as Fr. John Wagner teaches about and refreshes our understanding of all things Anglican: the history, heritage, and Anglican way of being Christ’s Church. 

It will be a refresher course for long-time members, as well as informative teaching for newcomers to St. Luke’s, and preparation for those becoming confirmed members of our Church. And there will be an opportunity to ask your questions for all. 

After coffee and a bite to eat in the Café, we’ll meet in the sanctuary for 90 minutes of teaching, conversation, and answering questions. 

The course will include such topics as basics of denominational differences and Church history, Anglican heritage and history, worship and faith (the Book of Common prayer, liturgy, Creeds, Catechism, etc.), Anglican structure, polity and ministers of the Church, the authority of Scripture and the infilling of the Holy Spirit, and the history and renewal of and mission at St. Luke’s.



New St. Luke's Directory Photos, October 5th-7th

It's time once again to update the St. Luke Directory. Photo sittings for the new directory (printed & online) will take place October 5th (2:00-8:30PM), October 6th (2:00-8:30PM), and October 7th (10:00AM-4:00PM).

You can signup for your photo sitting after the service each Sunday in the Café thru October 1st.

You can also schedule your sitting online at ucdir.com. Click on 'Photography Appointment Scheduling Login.' Use the church code 'oh2642' and the password 'photos'. Then select from the available dates and sitting times.

Photos can be formal, semi-formal, or casual. Extended family, friends, pets, even props (e.g. instruments, hobby items) are also invited to participate. Everyone photographed will receive a complimentary 8 x 10 photograph and a directory.

We want as many people as possible to take part.

Contact Jim Fulton if you have ANY questions.

Christmas is coming soon! Which means our outreach to local children of incarcerated parents through Angel Tree Ministries is coming soon, too!



St. Luke’s would like to continue our ministry to these children, but we need volunteers to make calls and volunteers to serve. Contact Jim Fulton if you are able to help.

An evening with Kelvin Crombie

Saturday, October 21st, St. Luke's will host a thought-provoking evening with Kelvin Crombie, historian, author and international speaker, sharing about the fate of Jewish believers in Jesus, our brothers and sisters in the Lord, who suffered during World War II, and telling their stories.

Join us at 5:00 PM, for a light supper 'Meet and Greet' with Kelvin. There is a $10.00 charge to cover the cost of the supper.  Please RSVP by October 14th (text to 330-697-0332).

At 6:00 PM, Kelvin Crombie will present 'They Also Died as Jews: The Plight of Jewish Christians in the Holocaust.' Until now, very little hard evidence has been assembled of what happened to Jewish believers in Jesus at the hands of Nazi Germany and their allies, and their tragedy largely remains an untold chapter in the history of the Holocaust.

A free-will offering will be received for the support of CMJ-USA, the Church’s Ministry Among Jewish People.
