Church Entrance
From
the writings of Anglican
divine Jeremy Taylor, in his book HOLY LIVING, we find
"A Prayer to be said before the hearing or reading of the Word of God."
"O
holy and eternal Jesus, who hast begotten us by Thy word, renewed us by
Thy Spirit, fed us by Thy sacraments, and by the daily ministry of Thy
word, still go on to build us up to the life eternal. Let Thy most Holy
Spirit be present with me and rest upon me in the reading or hearing of
Thy sacred word, that I may do it humbly, reverently, without
prejudice, with a mind ready and desirous to learn and to obey; that I
may be readily furnished and instructed to every good work, and may
practise all Thy holy laws and commandments, to the glory of Thy holy
Name, O holy and eternal Jesus. Amen."

"If
there were any word of God beside the Scripture, we
could never be certain of God's word; and if we be uncertain of God's
word, the devil might bring in among us a new word, a new doctrine, a
new faith, a new church, a new god, yea himself to be a god. If the
Church and the Christian faith did not stay itself upon the Word of God
certain, as upon a sure and strong foundation, no man could know
whether he had a right faith, and whether he were in the true Church of
Christ, or in the synagogue of Satan."
--
Archbishop Thomas Cranmer

Worship
with the Book
of Common Prayer
"Its
temper may seem cold to
those reared in other traditions but no one will deny it is
strong. It offers little and concedes little to merely
natural
feelings: even religious feelings it will not heighten til it has first
sobered them; but at its greatest it shines with a white light hardly
surpassed outside the pages of the New Testament itself." -
C.S.
Lewis
We
are delighted to welcome
you to our worship of the true and living God: the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost. Saint Luke's is apostolic, biblical, ancient,
evangelical, and reformed. Learn more.
We
observe a certain formality
in our service
to better concentrate on the worship of Almighty God. The liturgy emphasizes
both the majesty of the
Triune God and the worshiper's reverence and awe in His presence. All
baptized Christians in good standing with Christ's Church are welcome
to partake of Holy Communion at the communion rail.

The Eleventh Sunday After Trinithy
8-15-10
O GOD, who declarest thy almighty power
chiefly in showing mercy and pity; Mercifully grant unto us such a
measure of thy grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may
obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly
treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
