For children and teachers, it is time to return to school after the long and hopefully relaxing summer break, even if the sunshine has not been as prolific as we might all have hoped for. For those younger children, some are beginning nursery for the first time and there are also those young people who are moving on to the next stage of their life journey as they prepare for university or the world of work. For others of us who are not involved in education it may still be an opportunity to start a new chapter of work, perhaps retirement, or even a change of location. Here at St. Luke’s we continue with our interregnum and await the new chapter in our life here together. However, our life and fellowship do continue and many of our activities will begin again this month: Morning Prayer, TOTS, Junior Church and Choir. These are opportunities for learning and being involved in the life and worship of our church alongside serving and encouraging others in their pilgrimage. We shall also welcome Bishop James to confirm seven of our young people and hold them especially before God as they make this commitment. As we begin again let’s remember to keep God at the centre of all we do that he may direct our path. With this in mind our All Together Service on the 3rd September has been planned as an opportunity to ask God to bless the year ahead and be reminded of the importance of placing our feet firmly on the foundations of Jesus Christ, the rock. It would be good for as many as possible to join us on this occasion. Setting our feet on that firm foundation is important wherever we are and whatever stage of life we are at. With God at the centre when the challenges and disappointments come he will strengthen and enable us to face the future, whatever that may be and wherever he will lead us. In the words of David in Psalm 40, “He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.” May we know God’s presence in our lives and our feet firmly on Jesus the rock. May God bless us all as we begin again Anne 3 St Luke’s Away Giving St Luke’s Give-as-you-go scheme The Cause for September is www.thebridgetrust.org.uk The Bridge Trust has been supporting single homeless people in West Kent since 1991. We have helped over 6,000 homeless people with advice, accommodation and support. Significantly we have housed over 700 people in that time. There is still much to do for homeless people in our community, and by working together with the local authorities and other agencies we continue to transform people’s lives by helping them to achieve independence and have a home of their own. In West Kent only 10% of homeless people are rough sleepers, most are “sofa surfers” who manage to find a roof over their heads each night. Those who sleep rough are at great risk of being attacked and in recent months two people have lost their lives because they were out on the streets. For The Bridge Trust it is reminder that there is not enough service provision for all who need it in our community, especially if such terrible events are to be prevented. We always try to do whatever we can to help those who are homeless but it can never be enough. However we are always on the look out for property in West Kent which might be temporarily empty, homes or commercial properties, and any leads would be very helpful in trying to save the lives of those at risk on the streets. Bridge Trust is a local organisation and offers support in our own area. If you want to know more about us copies of the Bridge Bulletin with 4 articles about current projects and fundraising activities are available from the back of the church. As your third Sunday cause for September, we will be speaking at the service on the 17th, to update you on our work and thank you for your generosity. Mark Griffin **If you wish to donate but you won’t be in church on the Third Sunday, please either pass your donation to a Church Warden at any time or put it in an envelope, clearly marked with the Charity’s Name, in the collection on one of the two weeks before or the following week. Should you wish to Gift Aid your donation then see the information on the Current Events notice board. What happened in July & August In July £73.45 was collected for Mission of Seafarers ******************************** In August £93.25 was collected for Kenward Trust ******************************** 5 Interregnum During the interregnum, we have to follow a process that is defined by the diocese. This was explained to the PCC by the Archdeacon, the Venerable Clive Mansell at a special meeting on May 8th. Our next step is to prepare a Parish Profile to attract the right clergy to apply for the post. This will include information about our church and our vision for the future, how we see St Luke's going forward over the next part of our journey with God. Many members of the PCC are currently working on this document. This needs to be finished before we can advertise the vacancy. Janet Bates & Nick Donaldson, Church Wardens. Book Reading Group Our next book is: Is a Radical Church Possible? by Adrian Alker Everyone is welcome when we discuss the book on Friday 8th September at Noon in the Parish Room.

Ride & Stride Ride & Stride for Kent Churches takes place on Saturday 9th September. We shall no longer have Mark striding for us, which will make a significant difference to the amount of money we collect! Perhaps a team from the Junior Church could venture out with their leaders. Or better still two teams, one to ride and one to stride. Plan your route with care, start in good time to find your sponsors. Don’t forget to ask people who don’t go to church on a regular basis. It really is a lovely day out. Help to keep the “Show on the Road” by bicycle, scooter or even roller skates. There are eleven Churches in Sevenoaks. Sunday Coffee Rota Please sign up, to keep the coffee flowing on a Sunday after the Service. Sign up sheet is at the back of the church. Many thanks! 7 Bookworm The Mighty and the Almighty Edited by Nick Spencer. Now that the election is behind us, it is interesting to reflect on the part that faith, especially Christian faith plays in the political process, both here in Britain and in the wider world.

    FORWARD MOVE June 2021 Parish magazine for the Church of St Mary, Kippington (Part of the benefice of the Team Ministry including St Mary the Virgin, Riverhead with Dunton Green; and St Luke's Sevenoaks) Our mission … To be a bridge between God and our community sharing the love of Jesus and growing in worship, welcome and witness From the Team Rector … Dear friends, Can ever any Sunday be called ordinary from now on? In the Church’s liturgical calendar, this time of the year, from Trinity Sunday (May 30th) all the way to the 24th of October (the last Sunday of Trinity) is often referred to as ‘ordinary time’. The Sundays that are each referred to from Trinity 1 all the way through to Trinity 21. The ordinary Sundays of the long ordinary Trinity season. In this long and ordinary Trinity season you get the impression that as we have celebrated the glorious seasons of the year thus far – Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost – now we must wait until All Souls and All Saints, Advent and Christmas, when we can celebrate some more. In the meantime we now journey on a Sunday to worship and mark the ordinary Sundays of the Trinity Season – from 1 through to 21. Nothing spectacular happens in the liturgy, the colour green becomes a fixed for nearly five months and the Minister welcomes everyone to worship to yet another week of the long Trinity season. Green is such an ordinary colour. Our gardens and churchyards are filled to overflowing with green all over the place.

  • Calendar of Intercessions Christmas – Passiontide 2020
    Calendar of Intercessions Christmas – Passiontide 2020 to the Prayer Calendar for the Diocese of Rochester. The Anglican Communion cycle of prayer is no Welcome longer listed here, but can be found at http://www.anglicancommunion.org/resources/cycle-of-prayer.aspx and at @ACOffice. Similarly prayers from the World Council of Churches (WCC) can be found at @WCCprayers. Both cycles have a feed in the PrayerMate app (see below). In its current form, the calendar has two cycles: Parish and Community. The Community cycle includes any church schools attached to the parishes we pray for, day by day, but also includes other aspects of parish and diocesan life. When parishes have a link set up with another parish, we also include them in our prayers. Sunday entries cover some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese (sometimes geographical, sometimes issues or activities). These are usually simply one or two lines of text, but occasionally have fuller entries. The calendar also includes the calendar of saints and the liturgical colours – to keep the connection between our intercessions and the wider rhythms of our prayer. We also remember local saints commended to us by Bishop James, who might not necessarily be recognised by the Church of England nationally. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. This prayer calendar can also be found in the PrayerMate app (http://praynow4.org/rochester), on the diocesan website (http://rochester.anglican.org/ministry/prayer-amp- intercessions/intercessions/), on Twitter and on Facebook.

  • Order of Service 19 July 2021 York Minster 19
    The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York The Consecration of The Venerable Julie Conalty Archdeacon of Tonbridge to be Bishop of Birkenhead and The Revd Canon Samuel Corley Rector of Leeds to be Bishop of Stockport by The Most Revd and Rt Hon Stephen Cottrell Lord Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan assisted by the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Newcastle Monday 19 July 2021 at 11.00 am Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa and his sister Macrina, Deaconess The Consecration and Ordination of a Bishop The ministry of the church is the ministry of Christ, its chief shepherd and high priest. Those who are ordained are called to share Christ’s work, to speak in his name and build up the Church of which Christ is the head. This service of ordination perpetuates a pattern of ministry in direct continuity—through a long line of succession—with the apostles. Just as Jesus commissioned his first disciples, so by the laying on of hands the President will commission this disciple to mission. That is, to witness to the resurrection and to preach the good news of salvation in all the world. The particular role of the Bishop—while remaining a deacon and priest—is to proclaim and guard the faith, to preside of the sacraments, to lead the Church’s prayer and to hand on its ministry. During the service the candidates will be asked to confirm their commitment to these priorities. All who are present will be asked to undertake to support the ordination of the candidates, not least because as bishops they will act not just on behalf of particular local Christian communities, but of the whole Church.

  • Number 1 Place to Visit
    Growing closer to God, each other and the community we serve No. 66 For the parish of St Bartholomew – Free Number 1 Place to Visit Bishops of Chester, Birkenhead and Stockport & their visit to St Bart’ On Thursday 27th May, 10 Downing Street announced that the Venerable Julie Conalty, Archdeacon of Tonbridge, was appointed the next Bishop of Birkenhead and the Reverend Canon Sam Corley, Rector of Leeds Minster, was appointed the next Bishop of Stockport. The very next day at 9am, they were accompanied by the Right Reverend Mark Tanner, Bishop of Chester, Ian Bishop, Archdeacon of Macclesfield and others, to our own St Bart's, described as a 'thriving rural church'. Here they met with Rev. Anne, John Headon and David Barrett, our churchwardens and members of the congregation, involved in Messy & Cafe Church, the Service of the Word and the successful Plant Sale. After an introduction from John on how the church had gone from closure to the present day, restoring the building and providing new and different services, there were questions about how people had been encouraged to attend the services. There was broad recognition of the enthusiasm and community spirit alive in the church and village and the welcome all had received here. There were questions on how we had raised the £500,000 spent in the last 20 years, how we had worked to change perception of the church, it’s language and those who attended. Rachael Lewis told the group how she had come to attend Messy Church with her children and now helped lead the group, confident to do so with the help and support of other parents.

  • Benefice of Penshurst, Fordcombe and the Chiddingstone Churches
    BENEFICE OF PENSHURST, FORDCOMBE AND THE CHIDDINGSTONE CHURCHES I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then1 said I, “Here am I; send me”.

The landscape produces a patchwork of rolling farmland and woods, designated as the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest. The towns of Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells run in parallel, five miles to the east; Edenbridge a similar distance to the west. All these towns offer excellent rail links to London, while the M25 runs just to the north, providing an easy link to the motorway network. So, while the landscape of the villages may be mainly rural, the population is mixed in age and occupation and the villages offer a cross-section of life in a relatively prosperous corner of south-east England.

  • Calendar of Intercessions
    Calendar of Intercessions Transfiguration-Michaelmas 2018 to this edition of the prayer diary, which takes us from the eve of the feast of the Transfiguration to that of St Michael and All Welcome Angels. As usual, it’s a sizable document but designed to be quick and clear to read, and also to leave space for your own notes. Of course, you do not have to print it all out at once, and you’re welcome to reformat it, if you wish (a Word version is available from my blog, see website below). Sunday entries are designed to look at some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese – sometimes geographical (deaneries, archdeaconries, link dioceses) sometimes issues or activities (Vocations Sunday). If there is an aspect of diocesan life that you’d like included on a Sunday, do let me know. These are followed through the week by daily prayers from all over the diocese, and across the Anglican Communion, including the calendar of saints and other worthy people. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions – [email protected] or 01634 814439. I will also be pleased to provide large print copies to any who would find that helpful. The calendar is published on the Diocesan website, and also on www.rochesterworship.wordpress.com where you can find the next quarter’s intercessions (hopefully) as this quarter starts to come to an end.
