Questions for the year of discernment

2024 is a year of discernment, where we at St. Luke’s and St. George’s are seeking to ask God where he wants to lead us in the coming years. As a first stage in the process we want to gather questions from our church members and local community to ask of God through the process.

Sunday 7th January, 11:00am – Livestream

This Sunday, we have the normal children’s and youth groups and Claire begins an exciting new sermon series on the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The first talk is called, ‘God will build his house’ (Ezra 1:1-5; 6:1-2).

Hope Explored – Sign up now

As a follow up to our Christmas services we are running a short three session course this month called, Hope Explored. This is a great opportunity for people interested in discovering how Christianity can offer hope, peace and purpose in our world. For regular group members it will also be a chance to try out a new evangelistic course that they might want to use with a friend or friends. Please register your interest using the form below by (Sunday 7th January) if you are interested in joining a group doing this course.

7th January Notices

This year, we at St. Luke’s and St. George’s are dedicating ourselves to listen to God’s guidance for the future of our work together with sharing the good news of Jesus in word and action. We want to see what God is stirring our hearts to do. I wonder what God will do in 2024 – what might he be stirring in us as individuals and as churches?

17th December Notices – The Last of 2023

Like John, witnessing to the Light, let us also be people (not just this season) who share the good news of Jesus who came in poverty, to bring transformation for all – the greatest gift given – let’s embrace this gift and pass it on.
