Reports from the Activity Groups of St Luke's Church
for the APCM held on 28 April 2004

Heavenly Father enfold us in your love,
and empower us by your Spirit
that we may work
for the coming of your kingdom
and draw all people
to you through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

VALUES

Our core values are fundamental to the health and growth of the church. They are the focus of what we seek in both Home Groups and all church activities.

All Involved

God gives gifts to every person to be used in the service of others and for building up the church.

Becoming Disciples

We are always becoming and developing our full potential - we need to be open to God's word and spirit - encouraging one another to grow into the likeness of Christ.

Creating Community

Jesus commands us to love - this must be worked out in practice on a day to day basis - Home Groups are the training ground for love.

Doing Evangelism

Jesus told us to GO and make disciples of all people.  Our focus must be outward on mission not just inward on maintenance.  Our concern is for others not just ourselves.

Encountering God

We are committed to providing opportunities for everyone to encounter God, especially through Sunday worship, Home Groups and Training Courses.  We value prayer and recognise unless God builds the house we labour in vain.
