• Book Study
December 11, 2024 10:00 am - 11:00 am
St. James Episcopal Church, 1335 Oak St, Paso Robles, CA 93446, USA
We will begin reading "The Amen Effect" by Rabbi Sharon Brous.
Here is an excerpt about the book:
- Do you yearn for a deeper sense of connection and belonging in a world that often feels fragmented and isolating?
- Do you long to mend the brokenness within yourself, your relationships, and your community?
- Do you seek ancient wisdom that can guide towards healing and hope in the face of modern challenges?If these questions resonate within you, then the "Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and the World" offers a beacon of hope and a practical path to mend the fissures within and around us.
Our small group will convene on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024, at10:00 a.m. in the Education Room of St. James Episcopal Church to begin reading and discussing Rabbi Brous' book and study
If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Holly Cooper (805) 434-7002 or Kathy Showers (626) 808-8250. Everyone is welcome.

Who We Are
St. Luke’s Atascadero is a community where love is expressed and experienced through generous hospitality, joyful and musical worship, service and mission, generous stewardship, and spiritual growth for members of all ages.
Parish Life and Pastoral Care
Without a permanent Rector, the congregation of St. Luke’s has found alternative ways to care and support the members of the congregation. At St. Luke’s prayer is very important. Members of Daughters of the King lead the Tuesday and Thursday Evening Prayer services and the Wednesday morning Bible Study. They also collect and disseminate prayer requests to the membership. The Caring Parish Ministry group is charged with making monthly check-in phone calls to each member. We are currently working to contract with our supply priests for those times when a priest’s presence is essential.
Our History
In 1950 a small group of women from Atascadero decided they would like to begin their own mission. The mission of St. Luke the Evangelist was founded April 1, 1951. The women decided on the name because Luke was a physician and they wanted the church to be based on the principles of healing and evangelism. More:
Our Patron Saint
St. Luke the Evangelist
Luke the Evangelist was a Gentile, a physician, and one of Paul’s fellow missionaries in the early spread of Christianity through the Roman world. He has been identified as the writer of both the Gospel which bears his name, and its sequel, the Acts of the Apostles. More:
Outreach
Service is a natural result of spiritual grounding and growth. St. Luke’s has a strong commitment to outreach and supports the greater community by cooking for the homeless shelter, provisioning apartments for medically fragile people, making quilts to be sent to disaster areas world-wide, and ringing bells for the Salvation Army. We also host several fundraisers throughout the year, with the proceeds designated to a selected charitable organization.
