Adult Spiritual ministries

Women's Retreat

From Friday afternoon, September 23 through Sunday noon, September 25, we will be taking a break from the whirlwind of fall activities—demanding, as they do, so much of our energy.  This weekend is for being calm together with friends, and refreshing that spirit of sisterhood that has characterized our lives together. 

This retreat offers an opportunity to explore where you are on your journey using creative spiritual practices and guided group discussions that will include prayer, play, worship and fellowship. It also will include time to truly retreat for rest, relaxation and spiritual nourishment.  The venue is the lovely Wisdom House, where the beautiful setting will enhance the experience .Our retreat leader, Lindsay Hurty, will encourage and inspire you to continue your spiritual journey, enriched by your fellow pilgrims along the way—your Saint Luke’s sisters. 

Discovery Hour

This fall, parishioners of all ages are invited to journey through the Old Testament by focusing on 10 of the most important and consequential stories in the Hebrew Scriptures. Adults and teens will gather at 9:00 AM in the Parish Hall for The Sunday Forum, as one of our clergy helps unpack the story of the week. Children in Church School will discover the same stories in age-appropriate ways, allowing the whole family to take part. The Saint John’s Bible will be our guide as we rediscover the power of Scripture to ignite our spiritual imaginations and help us grow in love of God and neighbor.

Men's Retreat

The Men’s Retreat is an annual event that takes place every April.
Sign-ups now available for spring of 2022.

Introduction to Meditaiton and Yin Yoga

What better way on a Friday, as you wrap up a hectic week and prepare for the weekend than to join us for a ‘lunchtime’ reconnection to your spirit and soul! Join us for an introduction to Mindful Meditation and Yin Yoga at the Anderson Youth and Community Center. Everyone is welcome, bring a mat, an extra if you have it to share with those that don’t. However, ‘chair’ participants are welcome as well if that is more comfortable. It is all in the movement that is best for you, and especially the mindfulness that you achieve! These sessions will be led by our own, certified meditation and yoga instructor, Kit Savage. Bring water and open yourself up to a powerful experience of not just a physical aspect, but a mind-centering one as well.
