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.

This Week’s Notices – 7th January 2024

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?

3rd December 2023 – Notices

Advent is a time of looking forward. For most people these days it is a count down to Christmas, perhaps using an Advent calendar or just longing for all the busyness and preparation to be over and for time to relax. For Christians, however, Advent is more than just the lead up to Christmas. It is an opportunity to reflect on our lives from the perspective of eternity.
