Chad and Brouke live in North Little Rock with their two sons Peyton and Garrett ages nine and four.  Brouke is the technology facilitator for the North Little Rock School District and Chad coaches competitive swimming for the Searcy Sharks.  Peyton is in 4th grade at Lakewood Elementary and enjoys swimming on his dad's team and playing baseball.  Garrett attends Teacher's Pet pre school and plays soccer and baseball.  The entire family enjoys long distance running including Garrett who just completed his first 5K.

 

They have been members at St. Luke's for over 10 years and both boys were baptized in the church.  What they like most about St. Luke's are the wonderful members and friends their children have made.  They also enjoy attending all of the special events offered by the church, especially St. Luke's at the Traveler baseball game.

On-Going Events 

  • 12 STEP EUCHARIST: The Eucharist on the first Wednesday of the month at noon at St. Luke's Episcopal Church 4106 JFK, will begin incorporating the 12 steps as well as the healing service in its liturgy. The service has been prepared by the Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church. It is a teaching liturgy showing us how the spirituality of the 12 steps is part of the liturgy of the Eucharist. For people in recovery, this liturgy may be important to see how each of the steps is present in the liturgy of the word and the table. For those not in involved in a 12 step program, the service will be an introduction to the spirituality of the 12 step program.  

  • St. Luke's Labyrinth Guild hosts a community Labyrinth walk the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 7 pm and the first Saturday from 9 to 11 am. This is a wonderful way to learn how to use this ancient and sacred meditative way of connecting to God.
