About this church
St. Luke's Episcopal Church worships Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at its Main Street church in Chester. The Sunday service is followed by coffee hour in Willard Hall, and people who cannot attend in person may request a Zoom link. Worship follows an Episcopal pattern in which acolytes carry the cross, lectors read the appointed Old and New Testament lessons and lead the Prayers of the People, and ushers guide worshipers during Holy Communion. Selected sermons on the parish site offer another way to become familiar with its teaching.
The congregation's life extends naturally from the liturgy into hospitality and pastoral care. Licensed Eucharistic visitors take Communion to people who are sick or unable to attend, while lay members serve as greeters, readers, worship leaders, and coffee-hour hosts. Parishioners also volunteer throughout the Chester area through Meals on Wheels, the Chester-Andover Family Centre, libraries, health-related assistance, and other civic roles. Recurring gatherings include a monthly Memory Café for people with memory loss and their caregivers, a Monday Zoom Lunch Bunch, and a reading group after Sunday coffee hour. These details suggest a traditional sacramental service joined to a small-church social rhythm and visible community involvement.
