Weekly letter from St Luke's - 2 January 2026

Dear Parish Friends

Welcome to 2026! And on this first Sunday of the New Year we celebrate the Epiphany; the visit of the magi to Jesus, following the star. In Matthew's gospel these are the first people who recognise Jesus for who he is (no shepherds in this story). Whatever the star was, it took people who were open to interpret the signs to go seeking for 'the one born to be King of the Jews.' Others might have seen too, but did not know what it meant. We are reminded of the Epiphany message that God is here with us (whether or not we recognise the signs).

We return to having two service this Sunday at 7am and 9am (with Zoom streaming at 9am). The weekly notice paper and 9am service sheet are available via the links below

Yours in Christ

Rev'd Timothy
