If you are
visiting us for the first time we would like to get to know
you better. Please fill in one of the yellow welcome cards and
hand it to someone on duty before you leave. Better still,
stay and have a chat over a cup of coffee after the 10.00am
service. Children and young people are welcome to join the
groups which meet during the service. Please feel free to take
a toddler to the children’s corner at the back of the church
if they are getting restless, but do stay with them.
The chapel is available as a quiet place for prayer after
services and whenever the church is open. Please feel free to
take advantage of it.
Please keep the car parking space in the churchyard free
for the disabled and frail elderly. Thank you.

St.Luke’s
Heritage Guides: On Sept 11th St.Luke’s will be opening
for Heritage Open Days (HODS), now run by English Heritage as
the Civic Trust has gone bust! An opportunity to train new
guides and give the experienced ones a refresher course, in
preparation for September, has now presented itself. On
Saturday, 24th July, the Royal County of Berkshire Historic
Churches Trust have organised a Church Crawl which will
involve them arriving at St.Luke’s at 4pm for a church tour,
followed by tea, followed by a church service. You will
remember that the Berkshire Trust organises Cycle Run or Walk
(CroW) in which St.Luke’s has participated for many years
and coincidentally always takes place on the Saturday of the
HODS weekend. I would be grateful if any guides or would-be
guides can let me know whether they are available on 24th
July. Details of the history of St.Luke’s is on the church
website. If you are not on the web I can let you have a paper
copy. Help with the teas would also be appreciated. Please
contact Eileen Goford (T.638238) if you can assist.
Summer
Evening Walks: All are welcome, meeting at 7.15pm with the
chance of a drink afterwards.
Please
share cars if possible and if it’s raining phone to check
that the walk is still on.
Week
beginning 1st August; Summer Arts Project, so no walk. Next
walk Thursday 12th August. Roger Bevitt (T.633464)
All
Day Walks: Saturday 31st July has been set aside for an
All Day Walk. Those who enjoy a good walk and like to be in
the fresh air are very welcome to come along. Walking boots
are advised and you will need to bring a packed lunch and
plenty to drink. We normally end our day by finding a pub for
an evening meal. Please check the new sheet for further
information as to time of departure and venue, otherwise you
can contact Roger Clarke (t.632626)
