This Sunday, 4th October, is the 18th Sunday after Trinity (Proper 22, 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time). At St Luke's we will be holding our annual Harvest Festival.
The collect for Harvest:
Eternal God, you crown the year with your goodness and you give us the fruits of the earth in their season: grant that we may use them to your glory, for the relief of those in need and for our own well-being; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
Our service this week will be a Harvest Thanksgiving Service at the later time of 11.00, when we shall be joined by our friends from St Paul's Helsby. If you are unable to come, or if you would like to think about this theme before you come, here is a video on this theme recorded in 2020.
11.00: Harvest Thanksgiving Service in Church
12.30: Harvest Lunch in the Village Hall
Everyone is invited to share lunch with us. There is no charge, but we do ask that you give a donation of whatever you think the meal is worth towards the costs of keeping the church open for the whole community and to pay for heating the hall during the event. If you intend to come to the meal, please let Glenda know by Monday 28th September, for catering purposes (ring, text or WhatsApp 07410 986466).
There will also be a stall of donated home-made produce for you to purchase, with proceeds going to church funds.
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 14th November.
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!
If you would like to read it all, you can download a PDF version of the whole newspaper.
