On 6th June, we had a Poetry Please afternoon; members read a varied selection of poems from the sad to the hilarious - a very enjoyable afternoon. On 20th June, Geraldine Southam told us of the valuable work of the Foodbank. 1000 food parcels have been given out since the Foodbank began in July 2012.

The St Luke’s Mother’s Union Closing Service will be in the Ramsden Chapel on 4th July at 2pm - Gary, our Team Rector, will be officiating; there will be a faith tea afterwards.
