📣 Mission Action Plan Workshop – Looking Ahead Together

How is God calling St Luke’s into the future? What should we prioritise as a church in the years ahead? How can we best use the gifts, resources, and opportunities God has given us?

On Saturday 20th June, we invite everyone who cares about the life and future of St Luke’s Church to join us for a day of prayer, conversation, reflection, and planning. Together, we will look honestly at where we are, discern where God may be leading us, and explore how we can move forward faithfully and effectively.

This workshop is especially for members of our church family and anyone who would like to play an active part in shaping the future mission and ministry of St Luke’s. Whether you have been here for many years or have joined us more recently, your voice and perspective are valued.

You are welcome to attend the whole day or join us for the afternoon sessions, where we will focus on identifying priorities and practical next steps.

🗓 Saturday 20th June
🕤 9.30am – 3.15pm
📍 St Luke’s Church, Whyteleafe

Please bring your own lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.
