( 2.9 / 40 )My apologies St. Lukers. One of my resolutions for the New Year is to try and set aside time specifically for the updating of the website. Have a Happy New Year! And remember, it's St. Luke's 175th!

( 3.1 / 76 )Dear Members and Friends of St. Luke's:
In 2008 St. Luke's will be 175 years old. After one year as Vicar, I learned the important place St. Luke's had in Beacon in the past and understand its important place in the future. We are blessed with a beautiful Church, fine facilities and lovely property. Our responsibility is to maintain them well so that ways of our Lord can be expressed by the people who use them. The more people involved, the more ministry we can accomplish.
On Sunday, September 9th, two themes are at the heart of our services. One is Homecoming. St. Luke's, as in many churches for one reason or another, members have fallen away. On this Homecoming Sunday we welcome your return. Seek a renewal of the church relationship, a renewal of your relationship to our Lord and God and make His work vital in the parish and community once again.
The second theme is Rally Day. We rally our forces to help make our ministries effective. We need ushers, lay readers, acolytes, altar guild, Sunday school teachers, and craftsmen. Let me know what you would like to do. I'll find a place for you.
There are four areas we need to organize in a hurry. First, we need a group to plan the activities to honor and celebrate our 175th anniversary. Second, we need volunteers for our Pastoral Care Team. This ministry includes visiting shut-ins, driving people to appointments, even to church, feeding the hungry. The list for helping those in need goes on and on. Third, we need choir members and musicians. A big asset for Sunday worship is music. We have fine organists in Janet Nickerson and Adam Yaun, and a few loyal and dedicated singers. We need more. Rehearsals are on Sunday at 9:15 a.m. Christian education through music is a great way to learn. Fourth, I want to create a worship committee. Here we intentionally discuss our Sunday services and special services we feel necessary to enhance our worshipping experience for the St. Luke's congregation.
Please think and pray seriously over the opportunities to participate in serving the church. Don't leave it for others. Try something for yourself, it will benefit everybody.
Finally, on Sunday, December 23, 2007, the Rt. Rev. Mark Sisk, the Bishop of the Diocese of New York will visit St. Luke's. I would like to present a confirmation class. Any young person who has not been confirmed and is at least in the sixth grade meet with me beginning Saturday, September 22 at 9:00 a.m. Adults who wish to be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church speak to me personally, and we will arrange period of instructions.
Please call me if you have any questions or concerns (831- 2643 or 351-4639).
God's blessings be with you and our ministries at St. Luke's.
Sincerely,
The Rev. Dr. Edwin H. Cromey
Vicar
P.S. This year we celebrate St. Francis Day, on Sunday October 7, at 10:00 a.m. We pray in thanksgiving for creation, nature and we bless our pets and animals. It's a day to enjoy and appreciate.

( 2.9 / 91 )The Beacon Historical Society thinks there was one. And they think they've solved it. However, at least one long-time parishioner thinks they're hitting the wrong note! Read the Historical Society Newsletter piece here and let us know what you think. Do you have other information? facts? Theories? We're interested in knowing!

( 3 / 87 )That's Right! We're going to enter a float into this years parade. We're going to be presenting an interpretation of the Ark built by Noah. We say interpretation only because we're not quite sure how or with what materials we will end up constructing our ark. If ANYONE has ideas or suggestions, we'd love the input. So far, we've tossed around a foam or paper ark on top of a trailer or flat bed. Smaller boat(s) on hand drawn carriages, and the like. Please submit a comment if you have any other ideas or would like to help.
