You do not have to be a member of the Order of St. Luke to attend the 10:30 a.m. Thursday Healing Service or one of the monthly meetings. Visitors are always welcome.

Following the 10:30 a.m. Healing Service on Thursday, September 12, the Rev. Gary Jones, Rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church will give a talk on his experiences during his walks on the Camino De Santiago. The walk has been a Christian pilgrimage for hundreds of years. The walk begins in France, crosses northern Spain ending at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where the relics of Spain’s patron saint, Santiago – St. James, one of the sons of Zebedee – are housed. The walk was made famous a few years ago in the movie “The Way”. The talk will begin promptly at noon. Please feel free to bring your lunch and join us.

John Rice, president of the North American Board of the Order of St. Luke and Director of Region 3 as our mission speaker. “Surrendering to Abba’s Love” is the theme of this mission. Detailed information will be posted to this site this fall.
