St. Luke’s is a downtown church worshiping in the oldest church building in the city. We are a diverse parish economically. We have congregants of several ethnicities, varied backgrounds and political views.

We have a growing outreach ministry that includes making meals and sandwiches for the Montana Rescue Mission, letting our building to be used by community groups, projects such as Dress a Child at Christmas and some of our youth participated in a missionary trip to Mississippi this last summer.

See events for a month calendar and opportunities for fellowship.

St. Luke’s has an active church school (Godly Play) and a youth group. We house a popular preschool for which we renovated part of our building.

St. Luke’s has four worship services each week and a music program. There are many fellowship and educational opportunities for all ages.

We pride ourselves on being accepting and open-minded. Come worship with us and see.

Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith. I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word. And, to make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now kneel before the Lord, our maker and redeemer.

Suggestions for a Holy Lent:

1. Say the daily office in the Prayer Book (Morning or Evening Prayer or even Compline) or use the Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families (page 136).
2. In addition to what you give to the church, give specifically to the poor. There are a myriad of ways to do that. Among other things, we are going to have two dinners at St. Luke’s for the unemployed. We can use help with that.
3. Unless prevented by good reason, attend one service of the Eucharist a week in Lent.
4. Study something. I have one book ($15) and two free pamphlets you can use. I can also suggest something else if you are interested.
5. Attend the services of Holy Week. There is a whole cloth aspect to them. We like to pick and choose but there is a reason they are all included.
