Main Street United Methodist Church

Also known as Luke "the Evangelist." He was a much-traveled Greek, had a well-trained mind, excellent literary ability and marked reportorial ability. Luke was a kindly, evangelistic literary genius and First Century physician, who dedicated all that he had to Christ in his service to his fellow man. This Book of Acts is his second volume.

This window was given in loving memory of Samuel C. and Eureka Ashburn Oliver by their Children.
