St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Our church our welcome

We come in gratitude for all who walked here before us and created this community of worship We walk through doors held open in welcome and in turn hold the doors open in welcome to others We are St. Luke’s Episcopal Church

Do we see St. Luke’s as a welcoming place? Does St. Luke’s inspire your spirit? Do we think of our church as reaching out to us in welcome and in turn are we strengthened to reach out to others in welcome? How are you cared for in the church? How do we see St. Luke’s?

St. Luke’s for visitors Try to look at St. Luke’s through the eyes of a visitor As a visitor... What do you see? Do you feel welcome? What does the entryway say to you? As a visitor... What do you see? Do you feel welcome? What does the entryway say to you?

As a visitor... What questions do you have? Do you know where to go?

WELCOME All! Are we clear enough with these intentions? Our entry and our signs should speak with clarity of our welcome to all who come to St. Luke’s Our entry expresses our love of Christ and our reverence for this space Our entry and our signs should speak with clarity of our welcome to all who come to St. Luke’s Our entry expresses our love of Christ and our reverence for this space

Balance With generosity and joy St. Luke’s gives to the greater community How do we balance the realities of this outreach with the presentation of our entry? How can we make the building both convenient for ministry and respectful of our space? With generosity and joy St. Luke’s gives to the greater community How do we balance the realities of this outreach with the presentation of our entry? How can we make the building both convenient for ministry and respectful of our space?

Walk with us in welcome We walk from the entryway up the stairs to the worship space We walk with our families and our friends in the community of St. Luke’s. Has our walk awakened in us an understanding of... where we are?

To see again Do we see our church alive and new and cared for?

What do you think? When we have climbed the stairs and stand before our worship space what do we see? Is our view clear? Are we made ready in spirit? What is important to this space? Does everything serve the purpose of both welcome and preparation?

To See Again

Is there clutter?

Are we thoughtful with our space?

Are our bulletin boards up to date and expressive of our shared lives?

Are we awake in gratitude for what we have?

Evangelism How are we God’s instruments of evangelism? How do we share the church of St. Luke’s?
