Join us for a summer social

We’re meeting for a relaxed summer catch-up in Centennial Park, near Musgrave Pond, where there’s picnic tables, shade, grass for some cricket or frisbee, and public toilets. You can park on Musgrave Avenue.

BYO food + drink, hat, picnic rug, sports gear.

MEALS WITH FRIENDS

As a church, we want to keep building community together, whether you’ve been at St Luke’s for weeks or years!

To help make connections with newer friends, we’re organising some social meals - just let us know whether you’d like to host a meal or prefer to go to a meal, and we’d love to connect you with others.

To keep it simple, we’re suggesting two options on the same weekend - choose either a Saturday dinner (15 Nov), or Sunday lunch (16 Nov).

BOOKINGS CLOSED

Coming to a new church is a big thing!

Whether you are new to faith, have been in church all your life or not for a while, ‘Belonging’ is a chance to learn more about St Luke’s and how things work. As well as hearing more about the vision that drives us, this is a great way to meet others and ask all your questions. When you’re ready, you’ll have the opportunity to explore ways to serve and consider joining a Community Group.

Join us for Belonging on Sunday 15th December, 12pm-2pm (lunch included).

If you’re new or newish with us, and considering calling St Luke’s ‘home’ we would love to see you there. Please RSVP below.

"Refresh" is a chance for women from across St Luke’s to come together to be encouraged, to sing, to pray, to enjoy time and a meal together and to hear from God's word with talks from the Bible specifically for women.

Key Details:

Saturday 13 September
9:30am-1pm (lunch included)
In the church building at St Luke's
Cost: $15

Quotes from past attendees:

• “I was really encouraged and really enjoyed meeting up with our dear sisters. It was a wonderful way to refresh and encourage each other and to be reassured how we all fit into God’s beautiful story. Such a great initiative to bring us all together. And the band was amazing!”

• “Any women's event with great coffee and portugese tarts and fantastic teaching is pretty much nailing it. Everyone should come to Refresh.”

• “Loved how many women were there and getting to know new people I hadn’t met.”

Open Day - Sat 30 Aug

Jesus never held political office, never wrote a book, never married, and never travelled the world - but in spite of all odds, is the most famous person in history. Why!?

Join us - or bring a friend - for this five-session course exploring the identity of Jesus Christ, and the life and hope that he offers us all.

You can get a taste at the Intro Night on Wed 20th Aug.

Most Christians want to share their hope in Jesus with others, but often worry about the difficult questions we might be asked in response. At this evening workshop, Rev Dr Michael Jensen will share a framework to encourage and empower you to answer questions with grace.

Michael is the author of many books including 'My God, My God – Is it possible to believe anymore?' and is the Rector of St Mark's, Darling Point.

RSVP essential.

Join us for a relaxed evening of wine, cheese and conversation about the message and hope of Easter.

Dave will get us started with a few reflections from the short book, Happily ever after: How Easter can change your life for good. And there will be time for questions or reflections about the hope of Easter, the history behind it, and difference it makes.

If you didn’t receive a copy of the book at Easter and would like one, please let us know in your RSVP below.

Wed 7 May, 7.45pm, with drinks/supper provided (incl non-alcoholic options).

Sharing your hope is a new initiative to help you get a little bit better at sharing your hope in Jesus.

The apostle Peter encourages every Christian to be ‘ready to give an answer for the hope that you have’ (1 Pet 3:15), but there are lots of reasons that most Christians find this hard: we don’t know where to start, our friends don’t seem interested, we’re worried about tricky questions, and more.

This year we’re launching ‘Sharing your hope’ as a pilot project (which will be led by Dave). It’s not an event, but a “learning cohort”, a group of us who’ll try to learn together, to get a little bit better at sharing our faith.

Part 1 - The hope of the gospel - a paper to read, and workshop to discuss. Sun 23 March, 1pm-2.30pm, at St Luke’s.

Part 2 - Telling your story - a workshop (possibly online) about how to share your story, and then a workshop to practise and help each other.

Part 3 - Answering questions - Tues 12 Aug - a workshop with Dr Michael Jensen about ‘apologetics’ - how to answer those tough questions in a way that commends the truth of the gospel.

Each night includes a short video, time studying a Bible passage, Q+A, and dessert.

This course is for those exploring faith, new to faith, or returning to faith.

Jesus never held political office, never wrote a book, never married, and never travelled the world - but in spite of all odds, is the most famous person in history. Why!?

This course looks at the history of the life that Jesus lived - as we watch video segments filmed on location in Israel. And it explores the life that Jesus offers to us today - as we look at key sections of the New Testament.

Over dessert and discussion, where you can say as much or as little as you like.

Try out the course on the Intro Night, 8pm - 9.15pm, on Wed 31 July. (Then four more sessions).

We love doing life together at St Luke’s.  So to help us continue to intentionally deepen relationships with one another we’re running “meals with friends” again.  But this year we have given it a Christmas in July twist!

On Saturday 27 July we’re going to gather together over a meal in homes and celebrate Christmas in July with friends. It is a chance to bring out your favourite Christmas jumper, play some Christmas music, have fun and most of all continue to get to know one another.

All the meals are happening on the same night. You can sign up either to host or attend (and bring something to share).  And choose between an earlier (5pmish) or later (7pmish) dinner slot.

Note: Bookings for this event have now closed. Hosts and guests will be allocated by Friday 19 July.
