St. Luke Episcopal Church

St. Luke Episcopal Church One of the few original landmarks of early pioneer Cannelton. St. Luke Episcopal Church is the oldest surviving structure in Cannelton.

Erected in 1845 it has served as a place of worship for Unitarian, Roman Catholics, Methodists, as well as Episcopalians. A service on the 7th Sunday of Trinity (Now called Pentecost season), August 3, 1851, by the Right Reverend Benjamin B. Smith, Episcopal Bishop of Kentucky, is the oldest service for which there is a record. The stained glass windows behind the altar were made in England circa

1800, and the original mahogany pews are still in use. The church started a private school (St. Luke's Academy) in 1861, and the building served as a meeting place for the community in the early years. Luke's was placed on the National List of Historical Places in 1983.

Our prayer service this morning included a thought-provoking discussion about sheep and the Lord our Shepherd. Rev'd D. Rebecca Hansen's sermon on this topic can be accessed via the following link, which also features an audio recording of less than 15 minutes:

[RCL] Acts 2:42-47; Psalm 23; 1 Peter 2:19-25; John 10:1-10 Jesus often refers to his followers as sheep. Likely Jesus is picking up here on the familiar imagery of the twenty-third psalm, which describes God as a shepherd who guides us all the days of our lives.  Scriptural as the imagery may be, ...

Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
