Cycling and Seasons
​
The cycling cherubs have resumed their Sunday afternoon rides! Have you had your bicycle tuned up yet? If you're ready to ride with us, contact Chris by email at 0006731063@citlink.net so that she can add you to the email notification list for our rides. If there is a route you particularly enjoy and would be willing to share it with us, we would love to hear about it. All of our rides are no-drop rides. We promise not to leave you behind, and we have a couple of loaner bikes and helmets available if you need one to give cycling a try!!. If email doesn't work for you, feel free to text Chris at 607-434-5286. We typically do 10-20 mile rides, but try to plan them so that shorter segments for beginners are "nested" within them.
What We Believe
When Lutherans talk about faith,
we are talking about the relationship God’s Holy Spirit creates with us. It’s a relationship where God’s promise of steadfast love and mercy in Jesus opens us to a life of bold trust in
God and joyful, generous service
to everyone we know and meet in daily life.

About Us
St. Luke's Lutheran Church was founded in Sidney, NY, in 1953.
Our unique church building was designed by an architect inspired by the surrounding rolling hills,
and was constructed in 1966.
A community center, which serves as a fellowship hall and meeting place, was added in 2004. Over
the years, we have been served
by a diverse group of pastors, several of whom have come from non-Lutheran denominational backgrounds.
Our Mission
We welcome all people, based upon the foundation of God’s grace and mercy. Inspired by God's love, we offer healing and hope
for all.
Worship & Music
Traditional liturgical and less formal worship services are held at 9:00 am on Sunday mornings. From September through June our worship is often enhanced by our choir. If you are interested in joining the choir, please speak to our organist Nancy Hornung. New members are always welcome, and we hope to be able to resume choral activity soon.
Following the worship service, our coffee hour helps people to get to know each other better and to encourage each other in their lives of faith.
Membership
Members of St. Luke's are both
Disciples – who study and practice the teachings of Jesus Christ.
​
and
​
Ministers – who go out into the community to serve and care for others.
​
If you are interested in joining our congregation, please come to our Sunday worship or contact us at (607) 563-1806.
Giving
​
We are stewards of God's gifts. We give freely, in love, to share His blessings.
​
Most people give on Sunday morning as part of regular worship. However, if you are not able to be in church or just want to give electronically, you may do so here. St. Luke's uses the services of Tithely to securely process credit card donations on-line. Receipts for such donations will be sent from Tithe.ly and charges will appear on credit card statements from "CheckingStripe.comny"
​
We invite you to join our mailing list and receive emails we send out with news, or special worship schedules,
as well as our newsletter.
What's Happening?

Welcome New Musicians
