This Sunday, 9th August, is the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time when we remeber that we can trust God to care for us even during times of adversity.
The lectionary readings for this Sunday are:

The collect for this Sunday (10th after Trinity):
Lord of heaven and earth, as Jesus taught his disciples to be persistent in prayer, give us patience and courage never to lose hope, but always to bring our prayers before you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our service this week will be Holy Communion at the usual time of 9.30 a.m.
If you can't come to that, or if you would like to spend time thinking about this theme, this video from 2020 provides a short act of worship that you can use at home.
Our regular Book Sale and Coffee Morning continue throughout 2026. Please note the dates of these not-to-be-missed events in your diary. The next one will be on Saturday 12th September.
Searching through one of the filing cabinets in the vestry turned up this interesting document from the past this. It's a newspaper produced by the Sunday School children in 2000 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the setting up of our ecumenical Sunday School back in 1990. Sadly numbers dwindled and the Sunday School closed in 2004, but we are now thinking of ways of getting children and young people involved with St Luke's again. If you have any ideas for doing this please let us know!
