Christmastide/ Epiphanytide a joyous one for St. Luke’s parishioners

St. Luke’s annual Epiphany Party was preceded this year by a well-attended service of Solemn Evensong by candlelight in the Nave with Lessons and Canticles led by our youth group. The party itself filled the beautifully decorated Parish Hall to beyond capacity, featured a number of delightful dishes brought by parishioners, solos on the piano and harp by our youngsters, singing by the youth group and other parishioners, and impromptu hymns led by an improvisational piano and guitar duo from amongst our ranks.

The first of three Christmas services at St. Luke’s this year, a Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols, was offered on Christmas Eve using the same order of service that has made the same such a beloved annual event at the Chapel of King’s College in Cambridge, England.  The second featured the same with St. Luke’s choir, led by Barbara Beers, in selections by Bach and Handel as well as Plainsong chant, followed by the first Mass of Christmas

at midnight. On Christmas morning, the Nativity of our Lord was celebrated with a decidedly simpler Mass and a cappella singing.

Hike and Picnic at the base of Mt. Eddy

On Saturday, October 4th, a group of St. Luke’s parishioners hiked to Deadfall Lake near Mt. Eddy, which is the highest point in the Klamath-Trinity mountain system and directly west of 14,162 ft. Mt. Shasta.

Generations X & Y at St. Luke’s enjoyed a day on Shasta Lake Resorts’ “Party Cruiser,” Saturday, September 20th.  The boat was equipped with an upstairs deck & slide, in addition to tables & chairs, a stereo system, a cooler and gas grill downstairs where hamburgers & hot dogs were grilled. It was the first of what will hopefully be an annual event.
