Message from the Vicar: Revd Annie Kurk
These are challenging times for all of us and yet I know that God is in control. He is close to poor and broken hearted people and our hearts go out to those who have felt the sharp end of the coronavirus’ pointed sword.
We will weather this crisis as we will also do in the future, each time a storm begins to rage, by standing together in prayer and by following Jesus where the need is greatest.
We have had to quickly adapt to our work, home, church and social lives changing dramatically during the pandemic. As everything around us changes, we can always find a strength and hope by fixing our eyes on Jesus who never changes.
Not all of us enjoy change. I’ve recently heard people longing for things to ‘return to normal’. Others look forward to a society that will be changed for the better once all this is over.
At St Luke’s Church we are beginning to look at what ‘church’ will be like once the pandemic loses its sting. Whether you are a congregation member or not, please send your thoughts for our worship, prayer and praise together in the future to vicar@stlukeswhyteleafe.co.uk
In the meantime, Jesus, the light of the world, continues to shepherd us onward. I can now record services from inside the church but we still can’t worship together physically. The light of the world illuminates the gently approaching end of the tunnel…
I look forward to hearing from you.
This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Our Vision
We believe that all people are created in the image of God and are called into a loving, dynamic and transformative relationship with God, through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, his Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
On Sundays we come together to receive Holy Communion, to be challenged and encouraged by God’s word and to receive strength and support from God and from one another so that we can live our daily lives more openly and lovingly, sharing the good news of Christ in our words and through our lives.
We aim to be an inclusive church welcoming everyone, whatever their age, background, sexuality or relationship status and regardless of how much or how little faith they may have. Honest doubters and people with questions are positively welcomed!
