Eco-Champions needed
St Luke’s has signed up to the Eco- Church scheme and will be working towards our Bronze award (in the first instance) with Silver and Gold to hopefully follow.
We need a small group of people with a real and passionate concern for the environment who can lead us on this journey and make us a centre of excellence for churches in Tunbridge Wells regarding the environment. Please speak to Rev David if interested.
Explorers’ Takeover - Sunday 19th July
The Explorers’ children’s groups are going to ‘take-over’ the service on 19th of July. They will lead, preach, decide our hymns, readings and prayers and be in charge! Please could parents of children put this in their diaries as we’d love to involve as many of the group as possible.
It will need to be a bit like the Nativity, where it is helpful to know who is available and have children at the sessions in the run-up on Sundays 28th June, 5th July and 12th July in preparation. There will be roles for those who like being up front and those who want a quieter ‘back-stage role, whether speaking, acting, leading, saying prayers, welcoming or setting up. Any questions contact Mel the Explorers team. Thank you!
Coffee Club are looking for more helpers
We are looking for helpers to join the coffee club rota. If you can help one Sunday a month (at most), please chat to Steph Cresser.
Kids’ football boots?
Rev David would like to set-up a football boot swap for children. To help him get started, if you have football boots at home that are in good condition and no longer fit your kids, would you consider donating them to St Luke’s? A box will be in church next week to collect them.
