Sailors’ Church

There will be a launch service for the summer season of Sailors’ Church in the harbour on Sunday 4th June at 6pm, with afternoon tea from 5pm beforehand. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Pentecost

“But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses…
to the ends of the earth”

Witnesses (Acts 1:6-14)

What’s next? Jesus had died and risen again, but what was next for him and his disciples and what’s next for us as a church?

Feedback from the Annual Parochial Church Meeting

At our annual meeting on Thursday 11th May, we had a rather poor number turning out, but a good positive discussion.

Thy Kingdom Come (18th to 28th May)

Please pray! The 18th May is Ascension Day, when we remember Jesus ascending to heaven 40 days after his resurrection. During the ten days after this, his disciples spent time in prayer as they waited for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Inspired by their example, we want to encourage more prayer today. Over the period from Ascension Day to Pentecost, the Thy Kingdom Come initiative encourages people to engage in extra prayer. We want to join in with this!

Witnesses

“But you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Do you believe in organised religion? (Exodus 18:13-27)

Increasingly people say they want to be ‘Spiritual’ but don’t believe in organised religion. We are not saved by organised religion, but we do need it to help us in our discipleship. In Exodus 18, Moses is given advice on how to organise the people of God.

Beautiful Baroque

On Sunday 14th May at 3pm in the Sailors’ Church, Thanet Chamber Orchestra will be performing a free concert with Petra (St. George’s organist) playing her harpsichord.

Volunteer Sunday (14th May)

Everyone has a part to play. At St. Luke’s many people play their part by volunteering to help out on one of our teams. Without them the church would not operate. With more of them, there will be less pressure on those already helping out and the potential to do more.

Volunteer Sunday

“Now the body is not made up of one part, but of many.”
