Over the last 180 years this Parish Church has been an essential piece in the fabric of Burlington. To some we are that "beautiful, little white Church down by the lake". For others, though, we have been an integral part of life in Burlington over the years and our own Parish life has always been intertwined with the lives of the citizens of Burlington. Just think of all of the Events, Baptisms, Marriages etc that have been part of St. Luke's over all those years and you might have some sense of the impact generations of Parishioners and Clergy at St. Luke's have had on the lives of many. In recognition and thanksgiving for the past and to help us continue our ministries in the future, we would be delighted if you would consider, in this 180th Anniversary Year, a special Thanksgiving gift of $180. We have much to be thankful for both in our lives and here at St. Luke's and are very grateful for your continued support of our Parish. DIVISION OF PASTORAL CARE There will be a general meeting of the Pastoral Care Division on Monday October 20 at 10am in room 201. Team leaders are asked to let their members know of the meeting.
