St Lukes Castlecliff

We are stoked to collaborate once again with our friends CLIFFLIFE church to bring our usual Easter church services to our neighborhood.
Both services are family friendly this year, and both are followed by kai and connection (free woodfire pizza and a bouncy castle on Sunday, just saying!)
CliffLife is located at 16 Rangiora Street, and St. Luke's at 34 Manuka Street (if you mix them up and come to the wrong one on the wrong day they're within a minute's drive of each other 😊)

Nau mai haere mai, St. Luke's begins again on Sunday! ☀️☀️☀️
You know the drill - 9.30 for the scones and coffee, 10am for Jesus. Let's come and be whānau together.
Any questions message this page!

See my below comment for weather update!

Kia ora St. Luke's family and beyond - we hope you are enjoying your summer so far. We don't meet in the St. Luke's building until the 1st of Feb, but this coming Sunday is our combined Anglican churches service in the Bason Botanic Gardens, under the trees, followed by a shared lunch. It's always a beautiful way to start the year together, and we do encourage you to come if you can make it :) This year we will also have a guest speaker - Alexander Venter, who was one of the amazing keynotes at New Wine festival this past weekend.
More details at https://www.whanganuianglicans.org.nz/events
BYO seating, if you can bring some DIY picnic lunch that'd be great, but we'll bring some extra kai if anyone isn't able to or forgets.
If it rains, I'll post here - we'll probably end up moved to Christ Church on Wicksteed Street.
Love to see you there!

It's that time again!! Bring your mates, bring your family, run, dance, sing, snack your way across the line to Christmas with us at Cliffmas Carols.
Wet weather updates will be posted on social media pages (here and elsewhere), and on the fence at CliffLife.

We look forward to seeing you and yours there ❤️

This is the link to download the "Holy Here" prayer walking map.
The parish has the ambition of walking every street in Whanganui bringing the power of prayer to every street. To to that we need both your feet to walk the street and heart to uplift the homes you pass in prayer as you go.
We also need to get a organised to walk every street - that's where this app comes on.
Download the "Holy Here" app and on your next walk pick an untravelled street and record your prayer wqlk.
Imagine if every street was blessed with prayer!

Hi team, just a reminder that our service this weekend is combined with the other churches in our parish - please feel warmly invited to join this!

There is no Sunday morning service at Saint Luke's as such, however if anyone wanders up the doors will be open and the coffee will be on for a cuppa and a chat ❤️☕❤️
