Children’s Groups

14th April 2016 by leeds11

To have fun in a safe space. To learn about God.
To grow in discipleship, fellowship & faith

We have lots of different activities for our children and youth her at St Luke’s. We provided:

Bible reading & storytelling
Arts & Crats
Games & activities
Question time
Music & worship

The groups we run:

Creche for our babies and crawlers

Faithful Tinies for Walkers – 4 year old’s

Church Mice for 4 – 7 year old’s (KS1: Reception – Year 2)

Spiritual Adventures for 7 – 11 year old’s (KS2: Year 3 – Year 6)

Youth for those in High school

Once a month (the second Sunday of the month), we have our All Age service. At this service we bring the whole church family together to worship.

Most people have loads of questions about God, life, morality, the Bible… Making time to ask these questions is so important. The Alpha Course is a really good place to hear about some of the basic teachings of Christianity, and to talk about some big issues. For more information about Alpha click here.

To find out when our next course is running, email office@stlukesholbeck.org.uk or speak to us on Sundays.

Serving Beeston Hill and Holbeck

17th February 2016 by leeds11

We believe God loves Holbeck and Beeston Hill!

And we are committed to showing our community that God loves them. You might call this our mission.

We do this mission work in a variety of ways:

We actively tell people about God’s love, shown chiefly in Jesus.
We teach people about following Jesus and impact that should have in our lives and in our community
We do works of kindness and love, meeting real needs. We have a number of ways we do this:
- Historically started and continue to support St Luke’s Cares
- ESOL classes
- Host Beaver and Cub Scout
- Tots, Tea and Toast (Tuesday morning Toddler & Baby group)
- Host Reetwirlers (a local dance troupe)
- International Meals
- Community Fun Days
- Community Get-togethers
- Trips and outings
We speak up for the community; challenging unfair and unjust systems. Examples of this:
- Member of the Voice of Holbeck – working with the council and police on the Managed Approach
  - Hosting a Listening Well event
- Engage with politics and the local council – we encourage participation
  - Relationship with our local MP, Hillary Benn
  - Relationship with Local Councillors (we’re in the Beeston & Holbeck ward)
  - We’re a Polling Station in Local Elections
- Host the St Luke’s Tenants and Residents’ Association
- Member of Leeds Citizens, who work across Leeds on social action and justice issues
We take care of the land we live on. We encourage people to take seriously God’s call for us to tend and protect the Earth. How can we do this:
- We have church members who run allotments
- Others participate in local/national protests
- We preach about care of the planet
- Simple things like litter-picking

These five marks of mission shape the way we engage with our community.
