VETERAN’S DAY SERVICE
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16th AT 3:00 PM

A Veterans Day service will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at 3pm.

Join us to honor all American veterans, living and deceased, who served this country honorably during wartime and peacetime. 

Many veterans are buried in our cemetery. They have served in conflicts ranging from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. ​To honor our veterans interred in our churchyard, American flags will be placed at each gravesite of those who served in the military.  SLHS members continue this annual tradition with honor and gratitude for those who served and fought bravely for our country and freedom.

Virginia has the third highest number of living veterans in the United States. There are 41 veterans known to be buried at St. Luke’s. 

SLHS PLANS ITS NEXT FIELD TRIP
IN THE SUMMER/FALL

As its next field trip on Thursday, September 11th, St. Luke’s Historical Society is scheduled to adventure to Hickory Neck Church in Toana, VA, about a 75- minute drive from Powhatan.

Historic Hickory Neck Church’s oldest portion was built in 1734 on part of Hickory Neck Plantation. The elaborately built brick church was oriented east and west, in accord with Anglican tradition. The Church has a long history including being used during the American Revolution as a camp and as a military hospital.

Participants will meet in the front of the Parish House at 9:30AM to carpool. Lunch is planned in the area after the tour. There is room for 20 participants. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Connie Harriss (see contact information below). The event is free to SLHS members and $20 for non-members.
