Weekly letter from St Luke's - 27th December 2025

Dear Parish Friends

Despite what it might seem looking at the shops, Christmas is not over. The liturgical festival lasts until 6th January, the Epiphany (this is the 'twelve days of Christmas'), and the our celebration of the incarnation and all that this means continues throughout the year. In our gospel passage we will read the end of Matthew's nativity story of the Holy family fleeing from Herod and his threats, into Egypt (we will return to the story of the magi from the east next week), and reflect that the world today is not much different to that in Jesus' day. But through this, the message of hope routed in teh incarnation continues toshine.

There will be a single service on Sunday at 9am (with Zoom streaming). The weekly notice paper and 9am service are available via "This Week" menu item.

Yours in Christ

Rev'd Timothy
