IMPORTANT ADVISORY - SERVICES HAVE RETURNED TO THE CHURCH BUILDING AT 33% CAPACITY DURING PHASE 4 REOPENING - SERVICES ARE ALSO STREAMED ONLINE AT OUR FACEBOOK PAGE
Thank you to all who have been so patient during the state of emergency issued by Governor Cuomo and as St. Luke's adjusted its services to respond to the COVID-19/Coronavirus here in our community. Pastor Vangor and our team continue to stream all services at church while also holding limited live services at 33% capacity on Sunday mornings at 9:30am as we continue to reopen under the NY-FORWARD guidance and in accordance with St. Luke's Safety Plan and Business Affirmation filed with New York State (Phase 4). While in person services are available, please do not come to the church building if you are ill or if you have been in direct contact with anyone who has tested positive for Coronavirus or is presumptively positive. We encourage you to STAY HOME and STAY SAFE if you have any concerns. We are performing this essential service for our community in a safe manner with service modifications including maintaining 6 foot social distance protocols and adjustments in communion, etc.. We understand that many individuals are understandably concerned and may be ill or in quarantine. For those reasons and to support the public health effort and municipal directives, services will be available online every Sunday (to the extent possible) for the foreseeable future and hosted at: https://www.facebook.com/StLukesPutnamValley/
PLEASE BE SAFE AND STAY WELL!

THE 500th ANNIVERSARY OF THE REFORMATION!We celebrated Reformation Sunday every October, but we were happy to recently celebrate the 500th Anniversary with a series of celebrations through the anniversary year. We are reminded of the 95 Theses that Martin Luther nailed to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church to begin the process of reform and renewal. The document spelled out the supporting ideas for the two main beliefs underlying Protestant religions, and particularly the Lutheran Church. These two beliefs, central to our religion, are that the Bible is God’s given authoritative Word and that humans receive salvation through faith alone in Christ alone and not by their deeds. It was a day that shaped religious and cultural history.
