Covid Update from the St. Luke Executive Committee: According to the CDC, Lycoming County had crossed the threshold into “substantial transmission”. The CDC now recommends universal indoor masking in Lycoming County regardless of vaccination status, and as the St. Luke executive committee, we continue to recommend following the CDC guidelines. More information on the CDC recommendation for fully vaccinated people can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html.

We continue to gather for in person worship and encourage all who are able, to join us on Sunday mornings. Finally, we are committed to the needs of all members of our congregation, therefore virtual worship will continue until further notice.

Rehearsals will be held Thursday evenings at 6:30pm in the nave. If interested, please sign up on the sheet located in the West Hall. Rehearsals will start Oct. 28th.
