The St. Luke's Ministers and Ministries

The Rev. Susan Plucker

Reverend susan The Rev. Susan Plucker began her ministry as the Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in mid-June, 2004. Susan came to us with 11 years of experience as the Rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Red Bluff, Ca. and 18 months as an assistant priest at Trinity Church, Folsom. Susan is well acquainted with our diocese and has served on the Standing Committee, the Church in the World Committee, and as Dean of the Superior Deanery. Currently, she is the Chair of the Commission on Ministry and a member of the Congregational Development Committee. Her real love though, is parish ministry and she is excited to be working with the adults and youth of St. Luke’s as they continue to grow in their relationship with God and continue reaching out to each other and the community in Christ’s name.

She has two adult sons. Frank and his wife Armida with their two children, Iris and Encino live close by. Andrew lives in Tucson, AZ.

Rev. Bill Hefti, Deacon

Deacon Bill Deacon Bill and his family have been Auburn residents since the early 90s. Born in Minnesota, he spent his early years in Wisconsin. His family then moved to a number of U.S. locations and Italy (courtesy of Uncle Sam). Following his own enlistment (for 4 years) in the military, Bill otained his degree in Engineering (electrical). Bill and his wife Linda are the proud parents of two grown daughters. Bill was ordained as a Deacon in 1984 and has served in a number of capacities over the years. Bill's current ministries at St. Luke's include preaching, helping the lay ministry teams, and leading various forms of Christian education. While there are many aspects of Bill's approach to life that can be admired we think that the following quote is most illuminating. In response to the question "What do you most look forward to in life?" Bill gave this answer. "Starting each day knowing that God has something He needs me to do".
