Join St. Luke’s for our Veterans Day Service on Sunday, November 14 at 4:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary. This service is an opportunity for St. Lukers to honor, celebrate, and remember those who have served our country in the armed forces. This will be a time of reflection, testimony, and prayer.
During the service, a special offering will be collected to benefit Soldiers’ Angels, a national organization with a chapter in Orlando whose mission is to provide aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans, and their families. Because the focus of Soldiers’ Angels is the soldiers and their families, they are uniquely positioned to address the unique and complex needs of veterans. St. Luke’s was connected with this organization through a veteran who is a St. Luker, and our Military Ministry leaders. 100% of your special offering this evening will support Soldiers’ Angels.

Q: What precautions is St. Luke’s taking to help keep worshipers safe?
A: St. Luke’s is taking the following precautions (based on guidance from the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church and the CDC):
- Limiting capacity – in this phase of St. Luke’s Reopening Plan, the seating capacity in the worship venues will be limited.
- Encouraging social distancing – please keep space between you/your group and others.
- Disinfecting and sanitizing regularly – the worship space will be disinfected regularly along with high-touch areas such as door handles; we have installed multiple hand sanitizing stations throughout our campus, please use these frequently as you pass them.
- Promoting contactless greetings – please do not hug, touch, or get close to individuals who are not members of your household; alternative greetings include a smile, wave, nod, etc.
- Arranging socially distant seating – once seated, we ask that you remain in that location for the duration of the service. Please do not rearrange seating areas.
- Reducing unnecessary contact – high-touch items like Bibles, hymnals, offering envelopes, and Connection Cards have been removed from the pews and printed material will not be distributed. Please download the St. Luke’s Orlando app to access supplemental worship materials.
- Temporarily suspending refreshments – coffee and donuts will not be available.
Q: Will we be singing in worship?
A: Those who are fully vaccinated are invited to participate in congregational singing in worship.
Q: Will we be passing the offering plate/basket?
A: We encourage you to use online giving, give via the St. Luke’s Orlando app (download it here) or contact Andrea Whisnant for help in setting up recurring giving. If you choose to give in person, offering boxes are available as you enter the Sanctuary or Founder’s Hall. We will not pass offering plates during the service.
Q: Will childcare or Sunday School be available on campus?
A: Children are always welcome in worship at St. Luke’s and families can choose to worship with children 11 and under for the entire worship service or until they are dismissed for Worship Enrichment. Families may also drop off children for a full hour of children’s programing up to 10 minutes prior to the start of worship. For the health and safety of our youngest disciples, masks will be required in Buildings A and B and those working with children 11 and under will continue to wear masks to protect the vulnerability of children who are not yet vaccinated.
