Coming Together – In Traditional Ways and New

In consultation with Oregon Health Authority guidelines, St. Luke is resuming in-person worship with Holy Communion! For information about in-person worship, our livestreamed, our Zoom worship opportunities, and the many other ministry offerings, please visit the Evolving Ministries page.

Changes to Our Covid-19 Policies

Physical Distancing & Sign-up for Worship
On August 17, following Oregon Health Authority guidelines and a rise in the number of breakthrough cases, St. Luke’s Congregational Council and pastors made the difficult decision to resume physical distancing protocols in worship.
  • In order to allow adequate distance (6 feet) between households, St. Luke worship services will be capped at 60 masked participants, including worship leaders, for all indoor services. (Please note: our Rally Day Service on Sept. 12 will be outside, so no limit to the number of participants that day!)
  • In order to support this, we are resuming use of the Sign-up Genius as of August 29: please sign up or contact Cindy Gibbon 503.880.5502 no later than 12:00 noon on the Friday before you plan to attend an indoor service. See the Worship page for the sign up link.
To allow all who desire to receive Communion to do so, we will also be resuming Drive-Up Communion after worship, with the exception of Rally Day. Our Lay Visitation Ministry remains available to bring Communion to St. Luke members with limited transportation.

Mask Requirements
  • Masks are required for all people over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status, inside St. Luke’s buildings.
  • Masks are required for large outdoor gatherings (such as Rally Day) on the St. Luke campus, regardless of vaccination status.
The Council will continue to reassess these policies over the next few months based on the circumstances present at that time, including the spread of COVID-19 variants and any change in guidance from the Oregon Health Authority, CDC, or other authorities.
