WELCOME TO ALL HALLOWS
and things that go bump in the night
“Are you planning anything for Hallowe’en this year?”
“O yes. We spend a fortune on costumes for the kids – and another fortune on candy for kids who come to our door”
“Have you any idea why?”
“Er, no ….. It’s a bit of fun, isn’t it?”
“Would you like to know what it’s really all about – Hallowe’en, and All Saints the next day, and All Souls the day after that? – and what it all has to say about Death and life-after-death and Purgatory and Paradise?”
“Er, well …..”
“Good, then put 11 AM, Sunday, October 28 on your calendar, and come and hear Richard Somerset-Ward trying to explain it – or, at any rate, thinking out loud about it”

Choral Evensong
2018-10-28 17:00 - 18:00 UTC | St. Luke’s, 182 Main Street, Gladstone, NJ, 07934, United States
A traditional Anglican service of Choral Evensong will be held on Sunday, October 28th at 5pm. Evensong offers an hour of music, reflection, and prayer for the evening following an historic liturgy from the Church of England, originating with Thomas Cranmer in 1549 and revised in 1662. The service is filled with beautiful choral music and hymns sung by the semi-professional St. Luke’s Choir directed by Dr. Brian Harlow. The October 28th Evensong features the music of New Jersey native and Pingry School graduate Alfred Fedak. Mr. Fedak’s anthem “Unless the Lord Build the House” was written for the centenary of St. Luke’s Church and first performed on October 17th, 1999. His Bristol Pieces and Responses were composed for the choir of Christ Church in Short Hills for their residency at Bristol Cathedral in 2016.

The Just War – Is there such a thing? At 11 AM on Sunday, November 4 (the week before Remembrance Sunday) Richard Somerset-Ward will take up the cudgels in the age-old argument about War – when (if ever) can it be justified for Christian peoples to take up arms? Surveying the wars of the last 100 years, he applies Jesus’ own principles in an attempt to discover which of them, if any, were “just wars”.

Fall Topic: The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis
Combining the features of a book club or reading group with the informal conversations that thrive around the table at a tavern – St. Luke’s “Tavern Talk” is a new group forming this Fall. We will meet at the Gladstone Tavern a couple of times a season. We will get a table, order whatever we like and then talk about all things spiritual, especially focusing on a section of a book. C.S. Lewis himself, along with J.R.R. Tolkien and others used to gather at a pub in Oxford (The Eagle and the Child) to discuss each other’s writings in a group they called “The Inklings”. This Fall our focus will be on Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. Screwtape is a senior devil instructing a junior devil on how to lead someone away from God. This book has been described as a “masterpiece of religious satire that is wildly comic, deadly serious and strikingly original.” We will continue the tradition of the Oxford Inklings in Gladstone as we consider some classic themes regarding the spiritual life, temptation, discipleship and so much more in this fictional work of C. S. Lewis that is packed with a lot of spiritual truth! You are welcome to come even if you haven’t been able to do the readings. You don’t have to come to all the meetings – just come when you can! Contact Kent if you are interested, even if you can’t make the meetings.
This week’s topic- discussing letters 6-15.

Ash Wednesday Services
2020-02-26 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
We will have two services: 10am and 7:30pm at the church. Both services feature the ancient tradition of the imposition of ashes. This is a way remind ourselves of our mortality and need of God and it is a way to mark the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent developed in the early church as a season of fasting and self-denial to better prepare for the celebration of Easter. Throughout the ages many Christians have found Lent to be a time of significant spiritual growth. Join us for Ash Wednesday services this year!
