Prayers at Remembrance time

Praying Together during Remembrance @St Lukes, Holmes Chapel

O Lord, open our lips
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Let your ways be known upon earth,
Your saving power among the nations.

Blessed Lord, Who has caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Help us so to hear them,
To read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them,
That through patience, and the comfort of your holy word, We may embrace and forever hold fast the hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Mothers’ Union Oct 2023

On Thursday 18th October, we welcomed Jean McLaren to speak about her life as the wife of a vicar. She entitled her talk: “A Pot of Coffee, a Jam Muffin and 17 Pairs of Welly
Boots!”

She first of all told us the story of how they met, with Jean working in the Birkenhead Bookshop and a certain curate who kept coming in and ordering obscure books! They at
least did have a shared faith…….

November 2023 letter

November 2023 letter

There are practical issues which are proving a challenge for us at St Luke’s Church, as we play our part in helping people remember during the month of November.

On Remembrance Sunday 12th November, we welcome hundreds of local people to the Churchyard as we remember the sacrifice of so many servicemen and women, and also of our forebears, whose resilience has carried our community through world wars, terrorism and other threats of danger. In the last 18 months, the Churchyard has also been a good focus for village Jubilee and Coronation celebrations………..
