Welcome to St Luke's Church, Brislington
An Anglican Church in the heart of Brislington.
We are a very mixed bunch of people - different ages, different backgrounds and different preferences in how we worship. But we are bound together and moving forward in our desire to "grow together in God's love and share it"
The place in which we meet to worship is one of the few remaining historic buildings in Brislington, a medieval church, dating from the 14th century, and situated not far from the busy A4. It is an ideal setting for weddings, of which we have many!
Sundays there are three services, at 8am, 10am and 6.30pm, some more traditional, others less formal. And for children and young people there are services and activities on Sundays and during the week. Many activities, linked with the church and the community, take place in the Church Hall, a modern building opposite the Church.
Have a browse around this web site to find out more, and please do come and visit us!
Please continue to pray for the person God is calling to be our new priest. Jeremiah 29:11-12: "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you home and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you."
The Anglican Church in Zimbabwe has called on Christians around the world to focus their prayers this Sunday (27th April) on the critical situation in the country. It calls upon all Christians of every denomination in every nation to focus their prayers, in churches, halls, homes or wherever they are.

Christian Aid Week
Collectors are needed for our House-to-House main collection. If you are over 16 years, please consider contacting Hazel Roden (0117) 977 4508 to volunteer: perhaps by doing alternate houses with a friend or having someone deliver the envelopes or you to collect later.
You may prefer to raise money your own way: collecting at home with your friends will be much appreciated. Have a look at the Christian Aid website for some more ideas.
Sainsbury's Active Kid Vouchers
The Youth Committee is collecting Active Kid Vouchers from now until June.
Please help us to get some more equipment for God's Gang, Junior Choir, Toddlers and the Holiday Club. A collecting box will be at the back of the church.
Thank you

New-look website
You'll have noticed, if you are a frequent visitor, that the site has undergone a significant redesign.
Actually, 'undergoing' would be more appropriate as this new design will be installed over the coming weeks. We hope you like the new look. All the same things are still there, but in a slightly different shape! This will give us more flexibility for future developments.
Please get in touch with any comments as this will help to maintain the site for the benefit of everyone.
