Minister’s Report **Kim Mason** Many Christian traditions have a practice of individual reflection; some daily like the Ignatian Examen, others weekly or seasonally; our Autumn Report gives us just such an opportunity as a whole church family. As a community we can stop and look back together over the year; hearing news and stories from each other, giving thanks for all that is good and reflecting on our challenges. As I have compiled this report I have been struck by God’s goodness and faithfulness to us over the past year; there is so much here to be thankful for! Hence stating right on the front page that this report is ‘Celebrating the work of God at St Luke’s Church’. In our life of prayer and worship we have seen much growth. Our contemporary morning service is growing slowly but steadily. I have been really encouraged by our times of worship with people sharing about their sense of God’s presence and blessing and I am excited to see new members joining the worship team too. Our traditional afternoon service is now running regularly twice per month (up from six services the previous year) and is averaging 50 attendees, higher than it has been over the last ten years in its various incarnations. It is wonderful to see (and hear!) the choir lead us in worship and we are just starting to develop regular teams to contribute to different elements of the service. Oxygen continues to be a diverse intergenerational gathering and it gladdens me to see, older and younger people making space to accommodate each other, as well as the wide range of people who contribute to the teaching and leading, some for the very first time; I am particularly grateful to Joy for taking the lead on this service. Messy Church continues to see new families joining in and it is exciting to see the dynamic conversations and developing relationships as we share dinner together.

Our festivals and celebrations have been full of joy. All of our Christmas services were well attended by guests but none more so than the Nativity Carols service for pre and primary school aged children and their families which saw the church full of angels, shepherds, and even a Gruffalo! Easter celebrations ranged from the ridiculous to the sublime, from another church full of families on Good Friday, learning about how the Easter story is just like the Disney film Frozen, to the deeply moving Hour at the Cross in the afternoon. All topped off by ‘Thine be the Glory’ on the organ on Easter Sunday, it made for a very special weekend. Later in the year the men seemed quite happy with their chocolate on Father’s day and women with their hand cream on Mothering Sunday although my favourite part of those celebrations was listening to the band serenade the women in church with ‘Mums you’re amazing, just the way you are’ courtesy of Bruno Mars.
Our prayer life has underpinned everything we have done this year with at least six different groups meeting regularly to pray; some focussing on intercession, others on listening to God. I am particularly grateful to Lillian, along with Fiona and Liz, who have helped us to pray in varied and diverse ways at Together for Prayer throughout the year.
In our life of discipleship and community I am constantly thankful for the welcoming, and supportive church family here at St Luke’s. The Pastoral Team have played a vital role in walking alongside those facing crisis, ongoing ill
health and bereavement. Even though the team is stretched they have served tirelessly and faithfully to ensure that we have not faced our trials alone. In the summer, our thanks to Angela for serving as Pastoral Worker for 25 years, whilst heartfelt, seemed far too small for all she has given, and continues to give, so I will take this opportunity to give my thanks to her again!
A real joy this year has been hosting Welcome Teas for new people; not only has the cake been amazing but getting to know people who are new to St Luke’s and helping them find a place to belong and serve here has been incredibly fulfilling. Half a dozen families have joined us over the course of the year and many of those new people are now attending home groups. Home groups have played a vital role in our discipleship. Some groups have come to an end this year, others have started up, and still others have grown; all healthy growing and pruning rhythms. I hope to be able to spend more time investing in our home group leaders and structures in the coming year.
I am delighted to have been able to participate in our youth, children and families ministries over the past year. Getting to know our young people has been great fun, particularly spending time with the dozen that came on our youth weekend away. We now have over 30 youth and children attending groups throughout the week, and another dozen attending the lunchtime club run by Joy at Hallam Primary School; read her report for more details of all that has been happening in that key ministry.

In our life of mission and outreach there is much to give thanks for. We have been visible in the community, blessing people at Christmas with carolling and chocolate, at Easter with an open air service and chocolate, and at the Hallam Community and Youth Association Fete where the chocolate was replaced by cake! All fantastic opportunities to be out in the community sharing the love of God with people. Alongside our normal seasonal invitation services we have also had two great opportunities to invite our community into church with the Pizza and Quiz night and the King’s Coronation Celebration; I am really grateful for everyone who worked hard to deliver these fantastic events, it was such a delight to stand in the car park and see the church building and grounds overflowing with people from our community. After a bit of a false start we ran the Alpha course in the summer term; seven people completed the course with us and are all moving on in faith, it was a personal privilege to be a part of their journeys.
We have also been busy behind the scenes. In the office we have introduced new church management software which we are slowly rolling out across a range of ministries and functions. The ‘Growing our Capacity’ giving campaign which came on the back of the Spring ACM raised an additional £10,000 in annual giving along with identifying new volunteers across a range of ministries; thank
you so much to everyone who prayerfully responded. Following the ACM the newly appointed trustees spent a day away together pinning down our values as a church family; this built upon preliminary work contributed by a range of ministries and groups from across the church. You can find our values on the page 8 and they form the shape of this report.
There have also been challenges this year. In the autumn term I met with many of the families who have left St Luke's over the last few years; it was difficult to hear their stories of the way that the church has failed them but God has also been incredibly faithful in restoring some of those relationships.
It is with sadness that we have said goodbye to other church family members, including Chris and Marilyn who both stepped down from key leadership roles and moved on to pastures new, but I am pleased that all have found other churches to belong to where they can continue to grow in faith.
Members of our church family have been diagnosed with serious illnesses and cancer, and others have been walking through difficult times at home and work. We have conducted funerals for ten members of our church family and wider community who have passed into glory, and others we have loved have also passed away.
**6**
In spite of the positive response to ‘Growing our Capacity’ we have struggled to fill many key volunteer roles, particularly in the youth and children’s ministry, where a few faithful volunteers are serving in a range of different roles, and in the pastoral ministry. And whilst it was wonderful that we raised an additional £10,000 of annual giving this year we had been hoping for £15,000. Serving and giving therefore continue to be a challenge which we will need to address.
I have also found myself frustrated at not being able to spend more time developing our communications, particularly our website and internal displays; given the limited capacity of both our volunteers and myself we may have to look for alternative solutions in this area.
That said, as I look back and reflect on all that God has done for us, and in us, and through us, over the last year I am full of thanksgiving. It has not all been easy and plain sailing, but I have felt the deep assurance of knowing that we are on the right path, following after Jesus, our risen Lord and Saviour.
So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. (1Th2:15-17)

Prayer and Worship
Our relationship with God is our highest priority.
No matter what style of music or liturgy we use we want to create Spaces where we can connect with God our heavenly father and become more aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit filling us. We want to pray and intercede for the world, the church and ourselves, and we also want to make space to listen to what God is saying to us. We want to engage with teaching that helps us to apply the authority of the Bible to our lives so that we can be transformed to live more like Jesus.

## Intercessory Prayer
## **Lillian Miller**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Intercessory Prayer Team exists to support the mission and ministry of St Luke’s by resourcing and encouraging individuals to pray and covering every ministry in prayer. We believe in the power of corporate prayer and provide frequent opportunities for church members to come together to pray. Through the church prayer email and the prayer box in the Chapel, requests for prayer are received and prayed for by the Intercessory Prayer Group.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
'Together for Prayer', the fortnightly church prayer meeting, has covered many activities, special events and our Mission Partners in prayer. There has also been an emphasis on listening to God and praying into what he tells us. The format has varied to meet the spiritual needs of the church congregation, but worship and intercession have always been the main focus.
We have continued to develop our links with 'Arise' throughout March we prayer-walked the parish, individually, and in groups on Saturday mornings.
We have also provided prayer support for the Alpha course and it has been encouraging to see some of the guests now attending services and home groups.
## **Special Thanks**
Fiona Stevens and Liz Tipple have been a huge support in the planning and running of the prayer meetings . Fiona has led many of the intercessory meetings and Liz has led contemplative sessions which were well received.
## **Future Plans**
From September 2023 a Saturday morning prayer meeting will be held monthly to listen to God and to intercede for the church and our community.
## Prayer Ministry
## **Anne Waterston**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Prayer Ministry Team exists to pray with individuals with a focus on hearing from God. When God speaks to people and they respond positively they grow spiritually and in their relationship with God, this blessing enhances their lives and equips them to be a blessing to others.
Team members pray with people before, during and after the 10am Morning Worship service to enable people to respond more fully to what God is doing. For those who wish, continued prayer support is offered throughout the week with team members praying on a private, personal basis, and coming together to pray.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
It is a privilege to see God at work in people's lives.We have seen people's burdens lifted, situations changed and God’s providence in people’s improved health and healing. This year we have seen a back problem resolved enabling a walking holiday to be fulfilled; a young person with a degenerative condition enabled to live at home with carers and walk with assistance; and God at work in people’s surgeries and treatments.
## **Special Thanks**
A Healing Prayer Group on a personal level for those with sensitive issues including their families was started 35 years ago from which Prayer Ministry has evolved for which we are thankful.Currently the team consists of people able to be available on a regular basis or as and when in Church.
## **Future Plans**
Prayer Ministry has not been at the fore with pandemic and the interregnum and whilst we are grateful for those on the team, it has shrunk. Over the coming year we hope to grow the team and equip more people whilst ensuring that Prayer Ministry is a regular part of our services.
“ I appreciated the whole service and really felt that the Holy Spirit was working powerfully amongst us.

## Worship Team **Chris Mason**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Worship Team leads the sung worship at the 10am Morning Worship service and the 6.30pm Oxygen service. We want to be a ministry that helps the church to engage in authentic, intimate worship as we lift our voices to praise God and encounter the Holy Spirit.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
The leadership of the ministry changed in January which has led to other changes. It has been great to see new members join the team, especially at our Oxygen service. There have been new songs of praise and worship sung at both services and many people have told us how they have felt encouraged and uplifted.
## **Special Thanks**
All of the team have served faithfully through the year. A special thanks goes to Harry Sadler and Jacky Thompson who have both stepped up in leadership; as well as to new volunteers such as Josiah Furby, Wesley Lau, Alex Morley, Alan Mung, Richard Thyne, and Ed Warren who have been very appreciated.
## Oxygen **Joy Catto**
## **Vision and Purpose**
This last year at Oxygen we have looked at a variety of topics from the names of God to learning how to listen to the voice of God.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
It has been really great to see people of all ages engage at Oxygen, from the discussion times to the game in the hall to the times of sung worship. It’s really great to see the intergenerational nature of this service. We have recently seen more young people joining us on a Sunday evening who don’t often attend on a Sunday morning. It’s really great to see how this service is growing.
## **Special Thanks**
We’ve got a great team that facilitates this service with a whole array of donuts, cakes and drinks, most people can’t get enough of Nick’s hot chocolate!
“ As a more senior member of the congregation, it is a privilege to be part of the changes at St Luke’s in styles of worship! It is vital that we encourage new generations in the faith in a way that is relevant to them whilst remaining true to the never-changing gospel message which is exactly what I see happening - so be encouraged! Our generation was nurtured in the faith in ways relevant to our era and now it is our responsibility not to hinder the same for future generations so that the church will thrive. I long to see the whole church family from 0 to 90 worshipping joyfully together and learning from each other with no generational divide and what a witness that would be to our community!

## Sound Team
## **Alan Combe**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Sound Team serves to provide amplification of speech and music for the benefit of the congregation at Sunday services, special events, and weddings and funerals, as well as for outside bookings such as concerts.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
There are four of us on the team, operating independently on a rota basis. We are blessed that we work well together and always manage to provide cover for one another as necessary.
## **Special Thanks**
Special thanks to Cliff Woodcraft who is not a member of the team, but is always willing to provide technical assistance and carry out equipment repairs when needed.
## **Future Plans**
We plan to improve our work with the Worship Team's developing technology.
## Visuals Teams
## **Peter Armstrong**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Data Projection and Live Streaming Teams serve to enable the congregation to join in with the service by presenting the words of songs and liturgy.; and to enable those who cannot attend to be part of the service through the internet.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
We are thankful that the computers, cameras and other devices have continued to work reliably. Between10-25 people regularly watch the service online each week and value the ability to do so.
## **Special Thanks**
Thanks to the few dedicated volunteers who manage both functions each week.
## **Future Plans**
We are hoping to grow the team in the coming year, particularly in regards to projection.
Discipleship and
Community
Our relationship with each other is our greatest encouragement.
We want to create spaces where we can develop deep and supportive relationships so that we can care for one another and be cared for in our own vulnerabilities. We want to be active apprentices of Jesus growing in faith and being transformed into his likeness by taking responsibility for our personal discipleship.We want to mirror the generosity of Jesus in the way that we sacrificially give ourselves away to, and for the sake of, others.

## Home Groups
## **Gail Ashton and Lesley Combe**
## **Vision and Purpose**
## **Special Thanks**
Home Groups gather together church family members for Bible study, prayer, mutual support and friendship. We long to see every member of our church family connected to a group where they can grow in personal discipleship.
Thank you to all the group leaders and facilitators for the pastoral care of their group members and for the time they take preparing and hosting. Thanks also to Lesley Combe for holding all things together for so many years.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
## **Future Plans**
We have 11 Home Groups which meet at least fortnightly and include around 100 church members. Two new groups have formed this year; one of these is meeting weekly during term time to share a simple meal followed by a discussion of a Bible passage as we discover how the principles apply to our daily lives.
Through the next year we want to promote Home Groups in services, and displays in the building, so that regular members and new comers can find groups to join. We want all of our Home Groups to be places of discipleship and personal growth in every area of Christian life: our relationship with God, with each other and with the world.
## Pastoral Ministry
## **Angela Peskett**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Pastoral Team aim to practically demonstrate God’s love to both the Church family and the local community. We listen to and accompany those who are experiencing a variety of difficulties, including bereavement, and offer spiritual support and prayer. We visit the housebound, those in homes or hospital, taking Home Communion where appropriate, giving emergency lifts and sometimes delivering frozen meals. We try to welcome and integrate those who are new to the Church, offering hospitality and friendship while giving them the opportunity to find out about the patterns of worship and church groups and activities.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
This year we have been able to return to pre Covid practices of face to face personal visits and offering weekly lifts to church. Early in 2023 the pastoral team and Kim looked at the way pastoral care is organised at St Luke’s. This review is crucial as many of the current team are part of the older generation at St Luke’s. We have tried to look at securing support with some of the administrative tasks and are pleased to have had a volunteer to assist with this.
## **Special Thanks**
As has happened over many years the majority of pastoral care is offered informally to fellow church family members, friends and neighbours by all the members of St Luke’s. Whether that is shopping, visiting, offering hospitality or giving lifts we offer our thanks to all who are involved. Every small act of kindness makes a difference.
## **Future Plans**
We will be looking to encourage those in home groups to continue to offer pastoral care to fellow members of their group. We would welcome new volunteers who would like to be a part of this rewarding ministry on a more formal basis.
“ Thank you so much for going to the trouble to help the older members of the congregation be able to take part in the services. It’s not easy losing your sight and hearing as you age and you still want to take part fully in worship. St Luke’s has always been a very caring church and it’s so good that we are continuing this care for all ages.

## Men’s Ministry
## **Alan Combe**
## **Vision and Purpose**
Our Grouse Evenings provide a relaxed opportunity for church men and their non-church friends to meet for a chat, a drink and a meal, and to hear a testimony from a Christian speaker.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Numbers attending have been lower than before the Covid pandemic and we now have about 30 coming to our termly gatherings. This year, we have enjoyed amusing, informative and challenging talks from Edward Tufnell on his missionary background, and Trevor Moore on his work with Street Pastors, as well as a light-hearted quiz arranged by Neil Pigott.
## Women’s Ministry **Nicola Pigott**
## **Vision and Purpose**
At Girls Night Out we offer friendly, fun evenings where everyone is welcome. Ladies know our base is St. Luke's church and we often talk about church but put no pressure on ladies to attend church. We offer friendship and support and we have grown in numbers over the years.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
We have about 20 ladies on our ‘books’ but tend to get 12 to 15 joining in each month and two thirds of our ladies are not from church!
This year we have made Christmas cake toppers; been for dinner; thrown axes and shot arrows; been bowling; and enjoyed a night out at the theatre!
## **Future Plans**
Next year we will carry on trying different activities, planning our programme together and doing things that people fancy trying out.
I love attending
St Luke's!

## Poetry Group **Stuart Trickey**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Poetry Group has been meeting for about 15 years, enabling poetry lovers to meet in order to discuss poetry of interest and, if possible, to encourage members to write their own poetry.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Several members have written their own poetry over the years and some have been published in newsletters and in a booklet. We meet 6 times a year to discuss poetry on an agreed topic. Although some members have sadly left us because of illness and old age, the existing members enthusiastically look forward to the sessions. We warmly welcome new members.
## Reading Group **Shelagh Dixon**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Reading Group meets eight or nine times per year providing to discuss a varied range of books chosen by the members. We aim to provide: fellowship, particularly for older members whose mobility may be limited; outreach, as the group is open to non-church people; and recreation, a number of members work hard for our church and the group offers an opportunity for rest with other members, with minimal responsibilities.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Our Annual Festive Fare Christmas Lunch in December is a high point of the year, open to members and partners it is always a popular and special event.
## **Special Thanks**
To all our members, for their fellowship, tolerance and good humour!

## 11-18s Ministry
## **Joy Catto**
Our Youth Work at St Lukes has been really great to lead this past year! We've seen new young people join, young people decide to become Christians, and many others journey deeper in their faith.
A great highlight this past year was our weekend away! We were able to take some of our young people away to Edale for the weekend. There was so much fun, laughter and cake and we had great conversations as we looked at how we can live fully for Jesus! It has been really great to see how the relationships between the young people have blossomed from this time away together. Many of them also grew lots in their faith during that time.
Trek and Peak are our midweek groups for secondary school students and this year we have been unpacking tricky big questions as well as looking at the ‘I Am’ statements of Jesus. We've done lots of fun socials including laser-quest, adventure golf, games nights, and evenings at Spider Park.
Over the summer we did some summer socials which were well attended and were a great way to keep all of our young people connected over the holidays.
Summit on a Sunday morning has been going well, we often do the same teaching as in church, just with snacks and Jenga!
This year a number of our young people have headed off to uni, or are doing gap years. We were sad to see them go but it was great to have some sessions with them helping to prepare them for some of the changes that were coming their way. Myself and another leader met with them fortnightly in a cafe.
We would not be able to run any of our groups without the amazing team of volunteers that lead, play games, wash up, laugh and love our young people so well. It's so lovely to see our young people rush up the the leaders to update them on their weeks, sharing with them the highs and lows of life. I'm so grateful for all the time and effort that everyone on our team puts in! Thank you!
In the autumn term we are planning to launch our new outreach group, Oasis. We're so excited to be able to welcome young people from our local community into our church. We are going to have games, crafts, tuck shop and a short evangelistic talk. We are really excited for some of our older young people to be young leaders at this group too.
We are also going to start discipleship groups for some of our young people who have decided that they want to go deeper in their faith. We feel so blessed as a team that many of our young people are keen on asking big questions and are so excited to learn more about how to live their lives for Jesus.
In the spring we are going to be joining with All Saints Ecclesall for our annual Youth Weekend Away. We will be taking our young people to Carlton Lodge in Thirsk for four days of high ropes, paddle boarding, team activities, times of sung worship and talks. Joining with All Saints allows us to hire this better new venue with more activities on offer. We're really looking forward to giving our young people this opportunity.
As a team we feel so blessed to be able to come alongside our young people to share Jesus with them.
“ It was so lovely to see our young people commissioned at the Sunday service. It was really special and means a lot.

## 5-11s Ministry
## **Joy Catto**
Ascend is our group for 0-11s during the Sunday10am Morning Worship service. It has been so wonderful to see more and more children coming along to this service. It has been so great to do the crafts, play games and pray together with these children. They are all keen to learn more about God and about the plans he has for their lives. It’s amazing the insights they have, I am often stunned by the way they unpack Bible stories as a whole group. It is wonderful to see the friendships that are being made in the group and seeing the children grow in confidence. We have a great team of leaders that run Ascend every week and the activities, crafts, and games they plan are amazing. The part I love the most is seeing how the team share Jesus with the children; even the youngest toddlers playing on the floor hear about how much God loves them. It’s beautiful to see.
We have been doing a weekly Bible lunch club in Hallam School in partnership with Christ Church Fulwood. This time has been brilliant, we’re getting lots of children for whom this is their first time engaging with faith. They are asking great questions, and even prompting us to remember to pray before the end of the sessions. It’s really great to continuing to build strong relationships between St Luke’s and the school. We have also been delivering assemblies throughout the year.
love to chat and play games and are so keen to growing in their faith; often we run out of time because they don’t want to stop praying! We’ve also had some great socials with Base Camp; we have been bowling and had a movie night complete with popcorn and blankets. There have been some really lovely friendships formed in this group.
It was great to put on the Good Friday Easter Trail. We had over 60 children come and take part in that event which started with a short service in church. It was wonderful to see our worship area filled with families from our community. This is something we hope to do again next year.
In the coming year we are hoping to develop a range of Messy Church Festival events which will include Good Friday and a Light Party for All Hallows. Our hope and prayer is that through these events we would be able to continue to draw our community into the church family.
Base Camp, our midweek group for 7-11 year olds, has been great this past year. We’ve loved welcoming the children and sharing laughter, games, crafts, and acting; every week is always really fun. The children in this group
## Messy Church
## **Nicola Ellis**
## **Vision and Purpose**
Messy Church is a service for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It includes a welcome, a creative time around a Biblical theme, a short celebration including singing, prayer and teaching followed by a sit down two course meal. It aims to introduce people to Jesus, to give opportunities to encounter his Spirit and to grow closer to him.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Messy Church meets once a month with anywhere between 40 and 70 people. After covid numbers were low but over the last couple of years numbers have grown with many regular families coming every month. Many of the families have come via Toddlers and it is their first introduction to Church. It is great to see so many families involved, meeting Jesus and making relationships with other members of the Messy Church family.
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Special Thanks
**----- End of picture text -----**
Thanks to everyone involved from those planning the service, preparing crafts, catering a delicious two course meal, washing up, and clearing tables. We have a great team who work really hard every month to make Messy Church happen.
## **Future Plans**
We want to continue to provide a high quality, welcoming environment where we can invite more families to come along and grow in their relationship with Jesus.
“ Even though I’m one of ‘the elderly’ these days I support any work which will attract younger families or young people. Colin Dewick ”
## 0-5s Ministry - Toddlers
## **Nicola Ellis**
## **Vision and Purpose**
St Luke’s Toddlers aims to welcome pre-schooler children and their families into the Church building providing a quality learning environment for the children and a safe space for their carers. We want to support local families and share the love of Jesus with them in a practical way; and to build relationships with local families that allow us to invite them to church services and events. It is worth noting that the majority of families attending Messy Church have come via Toddlers.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Toddlers runs on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and numbers have grown on both days with over 50 local families involved across the week. The atmosphere is good and many adults comment on how welcome they feel and that it is not at all cliquey. Strong relationships have been made with many families leading many of them to come to other events in church.
## **Special Thanks**
Thanks to the amazing team of helpers who come every week to welcome local families: for their time in setting up and clearing away, making refreshments and helping everyone feel part of the group. We do need more helpers for this rewarding role so if interested please speak to Nicola.
## **Future Plans**
We are starting a Toddler Praise Service once every half term on a Tuesday Morning. This will be a Christian session with singing, teaching and crafts aimed at pre-school children and their families. The first one is in October when we will be celebrating Harvest, and then in December to celebrate Christmas.
## 0-5s Ministry - Bumps and Babies
## **Linda Russell**
## **Vision and Purpose**
## **Special Thanks**
Unfortunately this group is not running at the present time partly due to a lack of interest shown by the local community since Jan 2023 and also a lack of volunteers. The purpose of the group is to provide a welcoming space where mums to be and mums (and sometimes dads) with babies up to around a year old can meet, make friends and support each other. As helpers we also provide a listening ear, age appropriate toys for the babies and a hot drink and a biscuit for the adults. Whilst the group is not running we are welcoming parents with babies into our Toddler groups.
Special thanks to the many volunteers who have helped in the group in the past and particular thanks to Angela Peskett, Jo Roberts and Kath Smith for their faithful support. My thanks also to Nicola Ellis who helped me to get the group back up and running after Covid and provided regular weekly support.
## **Future Plans**
We are prayerfully considering whether it is right to re-start this group in the 2024. If you might be interested in helping please speak to Linda Russell or Nicola Ellis.

## Outreach and Events
## **Gail Ashton**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The vision of the Outreach and Events Group is to discover how we can effectively connect with the community of Lodge Moor. We aspire to be a visual presence in the community and a church family that encourages and engages in outreach and evangelism.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
We have been involved with lots of events this year. At Easter we ran an open air service on the Westminster Estate, giving away chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and other refreshments. We sang some Easter songs and shared a simple gospel message. This was well attended by our church family and the community at Westminster and there were plenty of conversations.
We organised a pizza and quiz night which was very well attended.
We ran an Alpha course from April-June and despite low numbers was very fruitful.
For the King's Coronation we had an onsite afternoon tea and outside activities, which included lots of cakes and refreshments, The Lodge Moor Children's Choir, live music and a bouncy castle. This was a very blessed event well attended by the community and a wonderful celebration. We also helped Westminster Estate with their tea party.
and Youth Association and the people from the community.
The church also took part in Streets of Light and Wear Your Faith Fortnight.
## **Special Thanks**
Everyone who got involved in the praying, planning, preparation and execution of all the events in the last twelve months.

To be more active and visible in the community and show God's love to all people by connecting with them through activities and in practical ways.
We plan to look at ways to give away small items that reflect the seasons, such as chocolate hearts at Valentines and chocolate eggs at Easter.
We also plan to do carol singing throughout the parish and in the local pubs.
Alpha evening/daytime - plans for discussion for these in 2024.
Evening events - ladies/men's, i.e. Image Consultancy ladies event.
To develop outward looking activity throughout the church family by attending a Faith Empowered course - to discover new ways of connecting with evangelism.
At the Hallam Fete we had a cake stall with opportunity for decorating small cakes. This was well received by the Hallam Community
## St Luke’s Lunches
## **Jean Burrows and Fiona Stevens**
## **Vision and Purpose**
## **Special Thanks**
St Luke’s Lunches aims to provide a hot, home cooked meal, as well as fun and fellowship, for the more mature members of the church and the wider community.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
God is at the centre of all we do and we always make time over mid-morning coffee to read a psalm and pray together. Consequently, no matter what challenges we face, we always manage to get lunch on the table and look after the needs of our diners. Our regular Pause for Thought also gives us the opportunity to share our faith in a more direct way.
We provide between 50 and 60 meals per session (currently every fortnight) and our recent decision to serve coffee in the lounge afterwards has proved very successful.
We are very grateful for the exceptional commitment of our team of volunteers (currently about 30) who will always go the extra mile. This has been particularly evident recently in the way that people have stepped up to maintain our high standards of food and care while Jean has been recovering from her surgery.
## **Future Plans**
Our plan is very much to continue what we have been doing but we appreciate that circumstances change and adjustments have to be made, hence our recent decision to serve lunch once a fortnight, as that works best with the number of staff and diners we currently have. We also keep a careful eye on the Covid situation and may consider closing during the coldest winter months. Our first priority is always the welfare of our diners and helpers.
“ The church service at St Lukes will remain with me for a long time. The Church welcome, the ambience, the location, the volunteers, your focussed guidance and advice; all fantastic. This made the day very poignant but at the same time a celebration, well planned and un-rushed. There was no pressure to leave at the end, allowing us to meet the many people who had attended to celebrate. I write to say a big ‘thank you very much’ for bringing us all together as you did.
# Visitor to St Luke’s ”
## Pop In **Sue Craft**
## **Vision and Purpose**
Pop In for a Cuppa is a place of welcome and good company with light refreshments for the community of Lodge Moor.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
We have welcomed between 10 and 25 people each Tuesday (except for August). Everyone is welcome and new friendships have been formed.
## **Special Thanks**
Special thanks to all the volunteers who have been a great team.
## Knit & Natter
## **Sue Prestwood**
## **Vision and Purpose**
We share tea and coffee, and chat whilst sharing our own knitting (or similar) projects or knitting for our three charities: Baby Basics, Shoe Boxes and the Soup Wagon. We meet twice a month at the Westminster Community Room which provides a neutral, welcoming venue for anyone interested. We are always happy to welcome new members, both from the church family and others from our community.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
As well as sharing and supporting each other we have shared in interesting discussions on a wide range of subjects, some but by no means all faith based, produced numerous garments and blankets for Baby Basics, hats for Soup Wagon and hats, scarves, gloves etc. for Shoe Boxes. Members donations help fund our refreshments, buy wool and any surplus is given to our charities.
## **Special Thanks**
Thanks go to all our members for all they contribute to the group and to Lesley Combe for her work as deputy leader.
## **Future Plans**
Lesley recently, with the help of the T.A.R.A., re-publicised the group throughout the Westminster estate and we are hoping that will attract some new members from the community.
## Westminster Tea Party
## **Rosy Dando and Ann Lane**
The Westminster Tea Party continues to thrive fortnightly on Thursday afternoons in the Community Rooms on Crimicar Lane. We have now been meeting for years, and are open to anyone over 60 in the local community. We have volunteers helping from St Luke’s Church, Westminster TARA, and Fulwood Bowls Club.
The afternoon starts at 2pm with tea and home baked cakes. There is always plenty of chatter over our cuppas, and new friendships have been made. After grace, we have some form of activity, usually a quiz, which is often remarkably raucous and always a laugh.
We go out for lunch a couple of times a year, this year to the Cowshed at Dronfield Woodhouse and the Shiny Sheffield and have a Christmas buffet lunch with carol singers from St Luke’s.
Sadly, this year two of our 96 year old guests have passed away and another two are unable to attend due to health and mobility problems. All of these guests were able to continue to attend until very recently thanks to Trevor’s and Bill’s transport. Mention must be made of Nancy, who can no longer come. She has been a guest since our parties began; as Chair of TARA, she showed me round the room at our inception, and has been a huge help and support. All these guests are very much missed.
We have also had 8 new members this year and our room is usually pretty full, with an average attendance between 18 and 20.
Thanks to all those who enable us continue. We would like to welcome another couple of bakers to our team who could manage to bake something every month or so, if anyone has the time; attending the Tea Party or not as they choose.
We look forward to continuing to flourish in the future.
## Soup Wagon
## **Sue Prestwood**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Soup Wagon is essentially a mission to the homeless, dispossessed and needy in the city. We run in association with other churches, who operate on other nights of the week. St Luke's serve in the city centre on alternate Monday evenings (alternating with the Crosspool churches) providing hot drinks, soup, food and much needed social interaction. We also provide sleeping bags to those sleeping on the streets and can signpost to other agencies who can help.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Requested by the police and council we moved locations back to the Silver Street car park, on the edge of the city centre. This meant a decrease in numbers. However, some of our guests feel safer attending and there are more opportunities for good conversations, really appreciated as one of the major problems is social isolation. This year's Christmas party was run on the street but enjoyed by those who attended. There was a short relevant Christian message, 'enthusiastic' carol singing, and giving out of 'treats' bags, which included knitted hats and boxes of chocolates, donated by St Luke's and Knit & Natter members.
## **Special Thanks**
Thanks go to our faithful volunteers on the Street Team, members of our sandwich team who keep us well provided and to all who respond to our appeals for donations of soup, chocolate bars, knitted hats and so on.
## **Future Plans**
We pray for a day when our service is no longer necessary but until it comes we hope to be able to continue for any who need us. It would be great if we had more people committed to upholding us in prayer as we go out on Monday evenings.
## Eco Church
## **Phil Drake**
## **Vision and Purpose**
The Diocese requires that we reach Net Zero by 2030. It is also our duty as good stewards of God's creation to further this aim.This is likely to involve major changes to the Church's fabric; we will not be allowed to replace the boiler by another gas-fired one when it wears out, for instance; we will need to be evaluating and preparing for such developments as heat pumps and solar panels.The Church nationally and the Diocese are offering financial and advisory support to achieve this. The EcoChurch group is currently exploring the detail of what form this support will take.
We gained a Bronze Eco-Church award in 2021 and are seeking to build on this. This will involve steps such as taking better care of the church's green space, increasing the sustainability of the resources we use, and including more eco-content in our ministries.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
We have had conversations with the Diocesan lead on environmental issues, the EcoChurch lead at St Thomas Crookes (STC is a national way marker on Net Zero) the recently appointed Diocesan Net Zero Project Officer and the Diocese's lighting adviser, all of whom have visited St Luke's and reported back to us. We hope soon to be discussing with Trustees how to act on these discussions.
## **Special Thanks**
Thanks to two of the Eco Church Team who attended a Diocesan eco-conference in March, addressed by a range of speakers from the Diocese, the Church
Commissioners and the Church of England’s national environment lead. This provided us with useful contacts and guidance on further developments. Some of the group also attended a Diocesan Eco-Church celebration at the Cathedral.
## **Future Plans**
We want to encourage the church family to engage with sustainability issues by publishing a regular Eco-Church contribution to the Church Newsletter. The Creation Care website which allows church members to see how they can live more sustainably will also be publicised and commended to the congregation.
We hope to see St Luke's declaring a Climate Emergency, meaning that good environmental practice is embedded in all the key decisions that the Church makes, for example, on purchasing, energy tariffs and longer-term planning. The final decision on this will of course be a matter for Trustees.

## Mission Partners
St Luke's has three Mission Partners that together receive 10% of our general giving income - over £4,000 per year for each partner. We support each partner for three years, replacing one each year on a rolling basis. Our current Mission Partners are:
- International Justice Mission (until end of 2024)
- Transforming Lives for Good (until end of 2025)
- Baby Basics (until end of 2023)
The most important support we can offer to our Mission Partners is in prayer, and we regularly include them in our Sunday service intercessions as well as in our Together for Prayer meetings.
St Luke's has been supporting Christian Aid for over 50 years with House to House Collections. In May 30 people kindly delivered approximately 1500 ‘deliver only’ envelopes to most of the parish. Most households were asked to return them to church or a given address and this seems to have worked very well. We raised £1300 with many donating on line plus Gift Aid in either case. Thank you to all who support Christian Aid through out the year.
Each year we invite our Mission Partners to come and speak at one of our services to share about their work, and we will continue to do that into 2024.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to every church family member who gives to St Luke’s church. 10% of what you give to the church is given straight to supporting our Mission Partners who are working to proclaim and demonstrate the Good News of the Kingdom of God locally in Sheffield, nationally across the UK and internationally around the world.
At the start of Advent we held a Christingle service and gave to the work of The Children’s Society. Toys collected at that service were donated to the S6 Foodbank, and the collections taken at all of our Christmas services were donated to Stop Gap.
Throughout the year we also support other Christian charities and organisations on an adhoc basis.
## Baby Basics **Julie Moss**
## **Vision and Purpose**
We seem to be the ‘Baby Basics church’ as so many of our members have Baby Basics embedded in their lives and giving. At present, our outreach continues to increase, with 1in4 Sheffield born babies and 1in11 local children/babies/families, helped by Baby Basics. We continue to work only by professional referrals; under the highest standards of safety and with Jesus’ instructions in mind. Our present supplies of toiletries are largely paid for ourselves, to as much as £2,000 monthly, due to the decline in donations. But we are still blessed by many individual and corporate help. Especially schools and churches at special times. Thank you all so much.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Everywhere!!! Especially as many of our volunteers are a bit long in the tooth!! But it keeps us fit. We would so love more to join us.
So many thanks, too many to mention without leaving someone out. Amazing knitting and sewing from church family.
We'd like to become redundant, but till then, we will carry on.
## TLG
## **Steve Ashton**
## **Vision and Purpose**
Transforming Lives for Good is a Christian charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future for struggling children. From school exclusion, to poverty and holiday hunger, there are children across the UK facing some of the toughest starts in life. TLG believe change is possible and that's why in all their work lies an unchanging resolve to transform lives for good.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Here are some of our highlights: together we have given 4,815 children hope and a future; 1,057 make lunch volunteers have served 116,085 hot and healthy meals; TLG Education Centres have supported 173 young people with an incredible 46 returning to mainstream school; 500 Early Intervention Coaches have delivered 9,955 hours of coaching; and 1,108 children and family members have been connected with the local church.
In response to TLG speaking at one of our 10am services in February an incredible 9 members of our congregation committed to become Hope Givers with TLG, and we collected £150 in donations. This generosity enables TLG to work with churches to reach into the lives of many more struggling children and families and to bring hope. Thank you so much!
## IJM **Stephen Priestley**
## **Vision and Purpose**
International Justice Mission is a global organisation working to protect people living in poverty from slavery and violence. It's team of lawyers, social workers, investigators, and other professionals work with authorities, survivors and other partners to: bring people to safety and support survivors with trauma-informed care; bring criminals to justice; help strengthen justice systems; and build a world where people are protected from abuse.
Over 50 million people are trapped in slavery today. 1in4 of those held in modern slavery is a child. Globally, it is estimated that 5 billion people live outside the protection of the law.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
Together with authorities and partners, IJM have: brought more than 85,000 people to safety from slavery and violence; seen slavery decrease by up to 86% in places where they've worked; seen over 5,700 traffickers and perpetrators of slavery and violence convicted; trained over 347,000 justice officials and community members to recognise and respond to slavery and violence; sustainably protected over 10.4 million people from violence.
## Food Bank
## **Colin Roberts**
## **Vision and Purpose**
Sheffield S6 Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. They provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis.
This year the S6 Foodbank helped to support the 1in5 people in the UK who live below the line by providing emergency food to feed 33,470 local adults and 20,196 local children.
## **Highlights and Achievements**
St Luke’s Church has been making fortnightly collections for the Foodbank since the pandemic, which have continued through this year. Those regular collections were supplemented by our Harvest Collection which provided two more carloads of toiletries, tinned tomatoes and other necessities.
“ St Luke’s needs to be a thriving and relevant church serving its community now and into the next 50 years. Bob Prestwood ”
