The Episcopal Church's Position on Abortion and Women's Reproductive Health
The Episcopal Church teaches that “all human life is sacred” and that there is a “tragic dimension” to all abortions. At the same time, the church stands with women in defending reproductive freedom, declaring an “unequivocal opposition” to federal and state laws that would “abridge or deny” any woman’s ability to make informed decisions about reproductive health.
This is from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry: “The Episcopal Church has tried carefully to be responsive both to the moral value of women having the right to determine their healthcare choices as well as the moral value of all life. [The Supreme Court's] decision institutionalizes inequality because women with access to resources will be able to exercise their moral judgment in ways that women without the same resources will not.”

A PRAYER FOR 
HEALING
The Almighty Lord, who is a strong tower to all who put their trust in him,
to whom all things in heaven, on earth, and under the earth bow and obey:
Be now and evermore your defense, and make you know and feel that
the only Name under heaven given for health and salvation is
the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (The Book of Common Prayer, 1979)

St. Luke’s is a loving, inclusive, Christ-centered faith community in the Episcopal Diocese of Newark in Northern New Jersey. We
seek to be a bridge between traditions and communities. We welcome anyone who wants to learn and grow in the knowledge and love of God.
Families, couples and singles, young and not-as-young as we used to be, we come from many traditions, backgrounds and perspectives, but we live together with confidence in the abundance of life found in the life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Trusting in the Holy Spirit for inspiration, we seek to be the body of Christ in our part of the world.
We gather weekly to celebrate God’s love and grace toward all God’s creation. We sing, pray, listen to and study the Holy Scripture, hearing how God forgives our sins, enlightens our minds, stirs our hearts and strengthens our wills. In community we gather to support, encourage and share fellowship with one another and to reach out to the community and the world around us.
If you do not currently have a church home because you’re new, returning or searching, then come -- just as you are -- and worship
with us.

St. Luke's is located east of the Garden State Parkway and west of the Palisades Interstate Parkway about 4 miles south of the New York State line in the beautiful Northern Valley section of New Jersey in the Borough of Haworth. We are convenient to the neighboring boroughs of Dumont, New Milford, Closter, Cresskill and Demarest.
To reach St. Luke's from anywhere in the Northern Bergen County area, find your way to Knickerbocker Road (CR 501). We are located just two short blocks west of Knickerbocker Road on the north side of Massachusetts Avenue. There is plenty of parking in our lot at the rear of the church off Massachusetts Avenue. The main entrance to the Church is on Grant Street.
The easiest way to enter St. Luke’s is through the side door up the walkway from the parking lot that will bring you into the Parish Hall. The big double doors and the gentle rampway make our space accessible to anyone disabled. We invite all new and old friends to come and join us in worship and celebration each Sunday.
