Serving in the Service

There are several opportunities to participate in the service at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.

If you’d like to serve, you can mention this to the Rev. Taylor Vines, or the service coordinator, Sasha Killewald (akillewa@gmail.com).

Please refer to the following notes if you are interested in learning more. We are all amateurs, so don’t worry about making mistakes. Many will be serving for the first time on any given Sunday. For additional information about how to serve, please contact the Rev. Taylor Vines or Sasha Killewald.
