Hello from Harvie;
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our
Parish Website, as you look through it I hope you will come to love
St. Luke’s
as much as I have in a very short time. The site gives a good
background to the work we are engaged in here at St. Luke’s
as well as further afield.
We at St. Luke’s warmly invite you not just to visit our
website but to visit our church and see how we are worshiping
our Lord Jesus Christ.
In this world of constant change it is good to
know that God remains faithful and true. He has called us all
into a relationship with Himself through Jesus and I would encourage
any and everyone to begin to ask the question "Who is Jesus?"
for themselves. I firmly believe that the task of the church
and church people is not to be the silent minority but a majority
who help others to explore the deep things of life.
We cannot do religion for you but we can help with where to
find answers to questions you may have, so why not give Jesus
a chance and read His story for yourself.
Begin in a Gospel; Matthew, Mark, Luke or John as they tell
again of Jesus’ walk on earth and then look at the bigger
picture as shown in the Old Testament.
Please enjoy your time at our website and be
assured of a warm welcome if you come and visit this part of
God's kingdom.
Every blessing
Harvie Nicol (Vicar)
___________________________________________
Formby
is a coastal town in the North West of England, located some
10
miles, 16 km, from the City of Liverpool. It has a population
of about 25,000 people and three Anglican churches one of which
is St. Luke's. St.
Luke's church dates back to 1855 but the site is much older.
A previous building was demolished in a storm, and some graves
in the churchyard date back to the seventeenth century.
St.
Luke's church is located on the westerly edge of the town, in
a belt of pinewoods that separate us from the sand dunes, beach
and Irish Sea. We offer a warm invitation to visitors and newcomers
to the area to join us in worship, or just to come and look around
our historic place of worship and its grounds.
St.
Luke's is an evangelical church. We expect teaching and preaching
to be Biblically based and provide our members
with opportunities for study through groups. Prayer is important
to us. To
discover more about us, please look through our web site.
You
will find details of work with the church in Africa and our
link to St. Mark's, Shyira, Rwanda, of our ecological work,
service times, and much more. If you
have
any
comments we would like to hear from you. |
