Parent and Toddler Drop-InRun by two volunteer ladies, St Luke's Parent and Toddler Drop-In costs £1 per family each session. St Luke's Parent and Toddler Drop-In only runs in term time.
ScramblersScramblers is for all pre-school children on Fridays at 4.15pm. Parents are encouraged to come with their child and enjoy stories, games, singing and things to make.
ExplorersExplorers meet to have fun, hear Bible stories and play together. Sometimes we have been on trips, cooked cakes and biscuits, played games both in teams and as individuals, and we always finish our term with a party. St Luke's Church Hall is a great area for running off some of that Friday evening energy and is a great start to the weekend - come and give us a try. Explorers are children from nursery up to Year 6 in school (age 4 to 11).
PathfindersPathfinders is a youth group for young people in school years 7 to 11 (age 11 to 16). We meet to discover the good news of the Christian gospel by sharing together in reaching the Bible, talking and praying, games, craft activities and fun. For the teaching sessions we split into two groups according to age but join together again for other activities.
Young People's ChoirThis group of young people rehearses weekly and leads morning worship (10.00am) on most Sundays. Affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music, the choir members work through the award scheme including the Dean's Award.
Adult four-part choirThis group rehearses weekly and leads worship on a Sunday morning around four times a year, as well as performing special works such as Stainer's Crucifixion. It consists of about thirty members and no previous experience of choir singing is needed.
The Sunnydene Players: St Luke's Church at playAs today, St Luke's Church in the 1980s was a rich mix of God's children - all shapes, sizes and talents. A group of stage-struck singers, dancers and actors gathered around the piano of music teacher Alison Morse, and early in 1988 they put on 'An Evening of Edwardian Entertainment' in St Luke's Church Hall. Named after Alison's house on Burton Stone Lane, the Sunnydene players were born.
Above all, Sunnydene is St Luke's Church at play, and it makes a serious contribution to the life of the church family. Performing, playing, set-building, costume-making and - of course - watching and encouraging are all valued and seem to engulf a lot of people in and around St Luke's. The madder it gets, the more it brings people together and strengthens the love and friendship within God's family. Click here for albums of Sunnydene Players' photos
St Luke's Tuesday ClubSocial afternoon including Bingo, refreshments and raffle. Also, outings for members and guests.
Bible Study & Fellowship Groups
Prayer GroupThe group usually meets at 6 Lumley Road and there is around half an hour of silent prayer.
St Luke's Mothers' UnionThe Mothers'Union is a world-wide organisation which promotes the well-being of families. We meet together for fellowship, friendship and to hear speakers on a wide variety of subjects.
Men's FellowshipMeets on the third Friday of the month at 8.00pm, usually at 171 Burton Stone Lane - but check before turning up on spec! There's a theme or a topic - holy or fun or both - and there's usually beer, wine tea and coffee to help things along as well as time just to chat and put the world to rights. Keep an eye on What's On for the forthcoming programme. Very relaxed, all welcome.
