Description

Postcard of St. Lucas Sunday School Hall, at 33 W. Virginia St., originally 1100 E. Virginia St. St. Lucas Evangelical Church/St. Lucas German Evangelical/ St. Lucas Evangelical and Reformed, now St. Lucas United Church of Christ: "On July 14, 1889, Pastor Schmidt arrived in Evansville to lead a new German-Evangelical congregation. On July 21 St. Lucas was born. Dedication of the sanctuary took place on April 20, 1890. St. Lucas continued to grow and the Sunday School Hall was dedicated on October 27, 1907. The 21 stained glass windows were bestowed on September 21, 1911. St. Lucas has continued to thrive and had many updates to further God�s calling. The St. Lucas Parish Hall went through many changes during its existence as our Sunday School home. Many fun and exciting events took place in this building. The church bazaar was always looked forward to with anticipation as to what would be found in the craft booths. Of course, the chicken and dumplin� dinner was always delicious and enjoyed by many in the community. During the 1937 flood the Indiana Naval Militia quartered in the parish house. The church office also became a broadcasting station of military forces. Then on March 2000 the Parish Hall became Lucas Place. This is now a key mission of St. Lucas Church.
