Ministry of Hospitality Roast Lunch

What if you knew that by Just Walking Across The Room and saying hello to another person, you could make a huge impact on their life? It is nothing difficult …… just a matter of taking a genuine interest in another human being.

On Sunday 19 March after church, another famous Roast Lamb luncheon will be served. No need to book, just come and Walk Across The Room to strengthen friendships as you share a meal together.

During the past few years, we have invited and welcomed many ‘newcomer’ families to Australia to worship at St Luke’s. Several of these were Refugee/Asylum Seeker families. Through Men’s Shed & Mission Outreach, we meet Newcomers at their point of need (provision of furniture, household items, paper work queries, food, etc.).

By increasing the level of social interaction between our Church Community and with Newcomers, by sharing food, we get to know them better and they get to know us better leading to a greater sense in Newcomers of belonging in the life of St Luke’s.

Church Picnic

Pop the 26th of March in your diaries and start planning your picnic!

Join members of the St. Luke’s Congregation for a relaxing lunch and afternoon at the Barwon Valley Fun Park on Barrabool Road, opposite Riverview Coffee House, now called Cafe R n R.

This area has easy access to Barwon Valley Fun Park, walking tracks, open areas
for ball games, riding bikes, and of course, and is close to the Coffee House for excellent
hamburgers, coffee, cake, etc.  This is a great way to spend a relaxing few hours getting to know some of our newer members or catching up with each other.

BYO everything.
