Nearly every Sunday at St Luke's Church there is a service. The Fourth Sunday is usually a Non-Eucharist Service.

Please join us, you will be very welcome.

A time for parents and carers with babies to come together, have coffee and discuss.

Held in St Margaret’s Church

On the second Monday of the month at 2.30 pm

Julian meetings are held all over the world to foster the practice and teaching of meditation and contemplative prayer within the Christian tradition.

It is a chance to still oneself from the busyness of life, to enter into deep silence, stillness. Many people repeat a word quietly to centre their prayer and as the mind may wander, come back to the word.

We start with music to steady our thoughts. This leads us into our 40 minutes of silence and then music once again to lead us out from the depths of stillness. We then finish with tea and cake and chat.

If you would like to come along and give it a go, you can be sure of a very warm welcome as we enter silence together. We look forward to meeting you.

If this has stirred your curiosity about contemplative prayer, Mother Julian of Norwich, or you would like to find out more then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Safeguarding should be at the forefront of all we do as church, it's our primary responsibility to provide a place and community to which all can safely belong. We will be highlighting this as vision and practice on 24th November, our safeguarding Sunday this year.

Prayer Breakfast

A simple breakfast, a hymn, short reading & open or silent prayers of the heart.

Each month focusing upon an aspect of the mission community ministry and outreach.

For the month of December Elizabeth writes - Our focus for prayer this month will be for:
• Ask God to open people's hearts and minds to the real meaning of Christmas
• For all the Christmas services/events at St Margaret’s & St Luke’s
• For the lonely and those who struggle at Christmas
• We give thanks, for our doctors/nurses/police/carers and all those who work over the Christmas period
• We especially bring before God, those who are homeless, children in care and those waiting to be adopted. Those away from their families in prisons, the refugees and asylum seekers
• For those who can’t worship you without fear for their lives
• Current affairs

All are welcome.

‘Open the Story at St Luke’s Forest School’ is held in the grounds of Countess Wear Community School. A bible story is explored with lively activities planned. It culminates in discussion, prayer and a song round a bonfire. There are regularly twenty to thirty people of all ages attending, and sometimes more. The majority of these are children but it is a whole family event.
