From Minnesota-It’s been 140 years since the Right Rev. Henry H. Whipple, Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, established St. Luke’s Church in Detroit Lakes — and the congregation is getting ready to celebrate.
This Thursday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m., the church will host a special evening prayer service, followed by a reception where the 140th anniversary cake and refreshments will be served. The service is being held in conjunction with the Feast Day of St. Luke, the church’s namesake.
But Thursday’s celebration is just the culmination of months of preparation. New windows were created for the sanctuary and stairwell, courtesy of designer Stacy Asp from Michael Orchard Studios in Fargo.
A new Celtic Cross was also installed on the lawn of the church, recreated by Lund Signs from the original designs composed by members of the St. Luke’s church youth group back in 1996.
The dedication of the new cross and church windows took place in August.
According to Rev. Dana Emery, a member of the church’s Total Ministry Team, “there is an intimate connection between liturgical art and theology,” and the symbolism contained in the designs of the new windows and cross are no exception.
