🌿 New at this year’s Whyteleafe Village Fete: our very first Wellbeing Space 🌿

We are thrilled to also tell you about our very first Wellbeing Space, created to support our visitors in mind, body and spirit.
St Luke’s will be sharing a quieter, relaxed space to enjoy. Perhaps you would like a break from the buzz for a while, a quiet chat, or simply some time for knitting, crafting, or reflection 😊
For those who would appreciate it, there will also be opportunities for quiet prayer and contemplation.
Rev Yin-An (Ian) and the Hub are so grateful for the kind donation of the bell tent from

Alongside the wellbeing space, we’re delighted to welcome Kenley Revival, Bourne Society and Read Easy Croydon, who will be helping bring local history, community projects and support services to life throughout the day.

A group of people from Chalodn is on pilgrimage. We pray for their journey, and we also pray for our own journey in daily life as a pilgrimage:

O God, be for us
our companion on the walk,
our guide at the crossroads,
our breath in our weariness,
our protection in danger,
our refuge on the Way,
our shade in the heat,
our light in the darkness,
our consolation in our discouragements,
and our strength in our intentions.

So that with your guidance
we may arrive safe and sound
at the end of the Road
enriched with grace and virtue
may we return safely to our homes
filled with joy.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
