THE INSTALLATION OF MNYS BISHOP PAUL EGENSTEINER

The election of a new bishop is reason to celebrate, which we will do on Saturday, November 16, at 2:00 pm. It is important to remember that in addition to serving in and on behalf of your synod, our newly elected bishop serves on behalf of the whole Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Therefore, we welcome Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, who will preach and preside.

In worship, as we install Bishop Egensteiner, we will celebrate Christ’s presence in Word and Sacrament. The Metropolitan New York Synod enjoys God’s blessing of rich diversity, for we are united in Christ.

We are also one Church among many churches and faith traditions in the greater metro NY area. Thus, our synod will also welcome representatives of the wider Church, including our full communion partners along with leaders of other religious traditions with whom we serve the common good.

We are pleased to gather at the historic Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine; the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and chartered as a house of prayer for all people. We are most grateful for their hospitality.

A reception at which you may greet our new bishop and one another, will follow the liturgy. Please join us in this celebration of our ministry together!

About St. Luke’s Church:
St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, in New Rochelle, NY, was started by a group of German Lutheran immigrants who wanted to attend services in their mother tongue. The first services of the “German Evangelical Lutheran St. Lukas Church” were held in 1855 in the home of two families, the Mahlstedts and the Popps and attended by about 25 people.
Through a gift of a couple of members, they were able to purchase a property by 1869. The church building was located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Charles Street, and was dedicated on May 22, 1870. From 1890 to 1898 the congregation and Sunday School developed so rapidly that the church building proved too small. Additional property was purchased adjacent to the church. The new church was dedicated on March 25, 1900, and a parsonage was built on the property shortly thereafter.
The congregation gradually transitioned away from German language services to English. In 1945 the name of the church was changed to St Luke’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of the City of New Rochelle.
In April 1946 they learned that a new parkway would be built called the New England Thruway and would require the property of the church. In 1954, the church purchased the property at 95 Eastchester Road. A building fund was instituted to raise the funds for the er****on of the new church at a cost of $420,000. The groundbreaking service was held on October 2, 1955 and the church was dedicated on March 24, 1957. The stained-glass windows and mosaics from the second church building were moved to the new building.
Today, St. Luke’s still has some members with German surnames who can trace back their family’s involvement in the church for five generations, but it has grown into a congregation as diverse as the New Rochelle community! In addition, to members with North European origins from Scandinavia, Estonia, Latvia, and Germany, St. Luke’s members also have roots from Jamaica, Tanzania, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Italy, Ukraine, and Asia.
Rev. Dr. William J. Damrow, who came to St. Luke’s in 1989 is the longest serving pastor.
