Advent Movie Study

We will begin a new liturgical year on Sunday, November 29, the First Sunday of Advent. Our Advent movie study wll be It’s a Wonderful Life, the 1946 classic by Frank Capra, starring James Stewart and Donna Reed. We will watch it at Coffee Hour on Sunday, November 22.

The poster pictured is “Copyright 1946 RKO Radio Pictures Inc.”, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons. In fact, the entire film entered the public domain in 1974, which is what allowed it to become a Christmas classic.

Even though it was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, it got mixed reviews and was a Box Office failure. But once it entered the public domain and could be broadcast without licensing or royalty fees, it became a seasonal favorite, part of many families’ Christmas traditions.

It is now considered “one of the greatest films of all times” [Wikipedia].

The movie opens in heaven with angels discussing urgent prayers they are receiving from mortals, like “Please, God, something’s the matter with Daddy”. Turns out George Bailey (James Stewart) is about to kill himself, and they need to send an angel to stop him. The senior angels select Clarence (Henry Travers), an angel who hasn’t earned his wings yet, but who they decide is up to the job. Clarence will get his wings if he succeeds. The bulk of the movie is a replaying of George’s life for Clarence’s benefit so he will know what he’s up against.

Will Clarence be successful in stopping George from killing himself? Will Clarence get his wings? To find out, join us at Coffee Hour after worship on Sunday, November 22.

All Are Welcome

We mean it when we say all are welcome — straight people as well as all the LGBTQIA+ rainbow. St. Luke’s in the Meadow offers beautiful worship at 10 am each Sunday as well as opportunities for spiritual growth, education, reflection, outreach, and mission. Book studies are held regularly as are monthly Taize services and Quiet Days.

The liturgical year in the Episcopal Church follows a calendar of seasons, feasts, and holy days centered around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins with Advent, moves through Christmas and Epiphany, then into Lent, Holy Week and Easter, and concludes with Pentecost.

After the Day of Pentecost, the Church enters the long season known as Ordinary Time. This season lasts until the beginning of a new Church year with Advent.

Taize Service

St. Luke’s in the Meadow is the only congregation in the North Region to offer TAIZE SERVICES. They are at 6:00 pm on the first Friday of each month at the Community Life Center of the Meadowbrook – Poly United Methodist Church, 2529 Mt. View Avenue, at the corner of Mt. View Avenue and Mt. Vernon Avenue.

Services for the second half of 2026 are on September 4, October 2, November 6 and December 4, if you want to mark your calendar.

Services are quiet and meditative, enhanced with Taize music. There is a casual social time following the service.

All are welcome. You do not have to be a member of St. Luke’s to attend any service at St. Luke’s.

Quiet Days

St. Luke’s hosts Quiet Days once a month, on Saturdays from 9:30 am to noon. They are quiet reflective times. Casual comfortable dress and an openness to the Holy Spirit are the only requirements.

Quiet Days dates for the second half of 2026 are August 15, September 19, October 24, November 14, and December 19. These dates are subject to change, so please check the website or Facebook page to confirm.

4Saints and Friends

St. Luke’s worships in the midst of our biggest outreach ministry. The mission at 4Saints & Friends Episcopal Food Pantry is to serve with dignity and humility the nutritional needs of those seeking assistance.

By collaborating with local public health and social service agencies, we aim to mitigate health issues related to poor nutrition and its associated chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

St. Luke’s houses 4Saints but we are only one of five congregations that support it. The others are St. Martin-in-the-Fields Keller, All Souls’ Arlington, St. Stephen’s Hurst and Trinity Fort Worth.
