2040: The Movie
2022-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, 116 East Third Street, Jamestown, 14701, United States
2040 follows Gameau’s imagining of a future for his four-year old daughter Velvet, where climate change has been solved. Described as “an exercise in fact-based dreaming” the film is structured as a letter to his daughter whereby Gameau travels around the world investigating numerous solutions that can contribute towards climate mitigation and imagining what a future would be like where they have been implemented at scale. In choosing what to feature in the film, Gameau restricted it to solutions that are either already available or have a realistic potential to greatly contribute to reversing climate change by the year 2040. The film features interviews with numerous academics, ecological experts and entrepreneurs and covers five broad areas.

GreenUp Jamestown began in 2018 out of conversations at St. Luke’s with local community partners, as part of an attempt to celebrate Earth Day as a local grass-roots effort. Since then, GreenUp Jamestown has worked to organize a number of events encouraging local environmental awareness and action.

Clothing swaps are fun, sustainable ways to clear out and refill your closet. Bring up to 15 clean, tear free, stain free, pill free clothes from your closet (no logo/event T’s please).

Sacred Sites Open House
2022-07-23 12:00 - 14:00 | St Luke’s Church, 410 N Main ST, NY, 14701, United States
“I love St. Luke’s because our walls can’t contain us.”
It was on our yard signs long before the pandemic. But the last two years have illustrated the point: The building is a hub of activity, containing the heartbeat of worship, community, and service, but this hub connects to a wheel turning outward, expanding well beyond our walls.
We’re celebrating this hub, our building, through participation in the New York Landmark Conservancy’s Sacred Sites Open House this summer. The Landmark Conservancy awarded St. Luke’s a $45,000 grant toward our capital campaign in June of 2018. As part of the Sacred Sites Open House, St. Luke’s will be open starting at noon on July 23rd for a presentation by Patrick Monaghan, St. Luke’s Warden for Property, on the features of our historic building. St. Luke’s was built in 1894 with rock-faced Medina sandstone that blends Late Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. The church was designed by Boston architect W. P. Wentworth; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Following the presentation at St. Luke’s, participants are invited to join our friends at First Presbyterian Church, which is also hosting a Sacred Sites presentation at 1 pm, offered by Dr. John Smagner, a Conservancy supporter and scholar. Smagner has written a Master’s Thesis on the history and architecture of First Presbyterian Church extensively.
Refreshments are to follow Smagner’s presentation.

On Friday, July 8th at 7:00 pm, St. Luke’s will host Ron McEntire’s third organ concert of César Franck’s works. This year being the 200th anniversary of composer César Franck’s birth (1822-1890), Ron will present Franck’s “Fantaisie in A Major”, “Cantabile”, and “Pièce Héroïque”. Franck is known for his “Symphony in D Minor,” his violin sonata, and his famous vocal piece, “Panis Angelicus,” and his 12 organ works. Franck originated the “romantic, symphonic organ” style of playing. Ron presented Franck’s Grande Pièce Symphonique, at the organ Inaugural Concert in November of 2021, and Franck’s first six pieces at a concert on Shrove Tuesday, March 1st, 2022.
“On a personal note,” Ron adds, “I feel an urgency to play while I still can, these beautiful pieces on this wonderful instrument that was created to play this music so very well. And I play in gratitude for the continued ability to play and read the music during this difficult time. Playing has been and continues to be a very spiritual healing for me.”
Light refreshments will be offered following the conclusion of the concert. All donations go to the continued care of this beautiful instrument.

Join us as we plant flowers on the church grounds, to bring the blessing of beauty to all who enjoy our building as a community gathering place.

Rogation Days are the Earth Days of the Church. The name comes from the Latin word, rogare which means “to ask.” Traditionally they were a time of prayer and supplication, asking God to spare the growing season from inclement weather or other natural calamities. Currently, we use these days to celebrate the new birth of Spring, the beginning of the growing season and to ask for God’s blessings on crops. Rogation Days remind us of how we are bound to our growing season and the way the agriculture unites all of us.

If you’re unable to participate, St. Luke’s also welcomes donations to help cover the cost of plants. Simply include “Rogation Day” in the check memo line
