Vicar Wally Arp and Family in 1987
On April 19, 1987 (Easter Sunday), St. Luke's student pastor, Vicar Wally M. Arp (who was destined to return and serve as the Senior Pastor of the church a decade later), was inspired to take this photo of the chancel, beautifully decorated for this high Holy Day. Several months earlier, the chancel area had undergone a major remodeling, evident here when the image is compared with chancel photos taken during the previous three decades. Four years later, however, this entire portion of the "transept church" (originally dedicated in 1957) would be totally demolished to make room for a much larger worship facility, completed in 1993. The Arp Family (1987) is also shown during his vicarage year at St. Luke;s: Wally and Lois, with children Sara, Liz and Jon.

A mid-1980s view of the main nave and chancel of the brick church, as photographed from the balcony. One can see small portions of the (1957) transepts which extend outward...to north and south... from both sides of the chancel.

When this was done, the altar (once flush with the east wall) was moved forward to improve the sight lines for those seated in the transepts. The gold dossal cloth was removed and an illuminated wooden cross now dominated the east wall of the chancel.
