St Luke’s Day lunch

To mark our patron saint’s day, this Sunday we are celebrating the wonderful diversity of our congregation with a Bring and Share lunch after the service. Please contribute a dish that speaks of your heritage – your ethnic or national background, or your regional background if you’re from the UK.

Space to Breathe, Wednesday 21st Oct, 8pm

A new opportunity (roughly monthly) for a quiet, reflective mid-week opportunity to pray, reflect, sit, light a candle, rest. Refreshments from 8.30 and chance to sit and chat. Roughly 8 till 9. Come and go as you wish. Our next such evening is on the 21st of October.  

School event for parents, Thursday 22nd Oct, 7.30pm

This coming Thursday, St Luke’s is hosting an event in which parents who have children at secondary will talk about the schools to parents with children in years 5 and 6 who are contemplating their best options.

Harvest Gifts

A huge thank you to everyone that brought harvest donations for Nourish on Sunday. We donated an incredible 147kg of food to this wonderful cause. 

Nepal appeal

Thank you to all those who donated to support the Nepal Floods Appeal with Christian Aid. £165 was raised and sent off in late September.

Teddy Abseil fundraiser - thank you!

Congratulations to all the brave teddies who took on the St Luke's tower abseil last Sunday. All teddies landed safely and both they and their owners had a wonderful time. (Special congrats to the fund raising team for this inspired event)!
