We believe: that God continues to love and care for St Luke’s and Bricket Wood, despite the significant reduction in church numbers over the last 10 years. that God is seeking and preparing the right person who will help turn the church around, to be a place where people of all ages are able to find Christ for the first time and for others to grow in their faith. that this growth will be nurtured by a leader whose teaching is biblical and evangelical, with a living and infectious faith. A person who will be open to the power of the Holy Spirit to enable change. that God has for us a Vicar who has a reputation for welcome, openness and support, as these are core values which we live out within our church and community. that we have potential for growth. Even though our current church family is now small and mainly elderly we are still totally dedicated and trusting God. We have a strong desire to work with a new vicar to achieve this growth. St Luke’s will rise up again under God’s direction as a vibrant and flourishing family church, well linked into the community. Our challenges To once again reach families and young people. To reach the 20s to 60s age group - people blessed with energy and influence. To grow the church through conversion to Jesus not just through people transferring from other churches. To enhance the reputation of the Church in the community. To find committed Christian musicians to revitalize our worship through music. To refurbish our church and halls complex. To have confidence to reach out into the community with the gospel because we ourselves are excited about what God is doing in people’s lives. To trust God to do more than we can think or imagine! Our opportunities We have many people who use our church and hall buildings on a regular basis. We have access to the thriving JMI School in the parish. We have a clearly defined Parish boundary with one other small URC church in the parish. We have a talented, committed, praying and loving congregation. St Luke’s Parish Profile—page 4 What we can offer... A new Vicar will find a congregation that is welcoming and friendly. It is a praying community that is committed to all the activities of the church and cares for many people in the community. We have a strong leadership team that is working hard to revive a congregation that has been faithfully persevering. We have an architecturally interesting and flexible church building that lends itself to a variety of styles of worship and diverse activities. The halls complex, which is adjacent to the church, has a good-sized hall, a church office, well- equipped kitchen, youth and prayer rooms. It also incorporates a local doctor’s surgery. There is an off-street car park. We will support you in your ministry and will work with you to revive the life of our church community. We are prepared to walk with you as you develop your own ministry and are ready to step out in faith with new initiatives.

Pray for and with you. Respect your calling and your authority under God. Help you to develop your ministry and be open to your development of ours. Step out in faith alongside you. Encourage you. Love you. St Luke’s Parish Profile—page 5 Our strengths and weaknesses During the late 1970s our church began to be influenced by the renewal movement. As a result we grew steadily amongst all age groups and by 2000 had an electoral roll of 199 and 70 children and young people, many of whom were regular attenders at morning worship. We employed both a full-time youth worker and part-time administrator. However, in the last 13 years the congregation has waned, leaving a committed core of people mainly in the 50's to 90's age group, with an electoral roll of 80 and between 2 and 7 children in our Junior Church. Only handful of people has been confirmed and we have lost key leaders and others. Despite the current situation the fundamental strength of the church, our spirituality and commitment to mission, remains. We are pleased to say that the remaining core has begun to pull together since our vacancy started and we continue to be a people longing for vision, direction and love. We remain faithful and full of hope that God wants to begin a new work amongst us. With prayerfulness, enthusiasm and hard work we are looking forward. We are committed to growth and encouraged that some members are beginning to re-engage and some leavers are returning.

  • CPRE Hertfordshire Walk the Ver Valley and Bricket Wood
    CPRE Hertfordshire Walk The Ver Valley and Bricket Wood This walk is a linear route linking stations on the Abbey railway line between Watford and St Albans, following the River Ver Trail. The shorter route between St Albans Abbey station and either Park Street station or How Wood station is 3 miles. The entire route to Bricket Wood station from St Albans is just under 7 miles. Much of the route runs close to the River Ver, passing numerous historic features including water mills. The photo below is looking upstream just below Sopwell Bridge. Trains run regularly on the Abbey line from Watford Junction station to St Albans Abbey station, with an end-to-end journey time of 16 minutes. For timetables visit abfly.org.uk. You might want to note the times of possible return trains before setting out. Alternatively there are numerous car parks in St Albans City centre. The walk described begins close to St Albans Abbey station at the foot of Holywell Hill. It follows the River Ver Trail for much of the route before a short climb to reach Bricket Wood Common near the end of the longer route. The River Ver Trail is mostly close to the river, and in places it can get wet underfoot in winter and after rain, so appropriate footwear is advised. Much of the route is reasonably sheltered and ideal for a winter walk. In Park Street there are various options for refreshments. There are no stiles. Alongside the river and also in the area of flooded gravel workings in the vicinity of Park Street and Frogmore be aware of open and deep water if you have children or dogs.

  • Old Bricket Wood
    CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER STATEMENT FOR OLD BRICKET WOOD December 2009 CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER STATEMENT FOR OLD BRICKET WOOD 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Civic Amenities Act 1967 empowered local planning authorities to make provision for the preservation and enhancement of areas of architectural and historic interest by designating them as Conservation Areas. 1.2 The Old Bricket Wood Conservation Area was designated in 1983. Designation was based on the statutory definition which is “an area of special architectural interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance…they may be large or small, from whole town centres to squares, terraces and smaller groups of buildings. They will often be centred on listed buildings but not always. Pleasant groups of other buildings, open spaces, trees, an historic street pattern, a village green, or features of archaeological interest may also contribute to the special character of the area.” 1.3 Consultations took place with the Parish Council and several local amenity societies, in addition to all local residents. Whilst there was a request to include some of the more outlying buildings in the vicinity, it was considered that to include the large areas of open land in between was against the government guidelines for conservation area designation. 1.4 Conservation should not be thought of solely as a process of preservation and an impediment to change. The designation of a conservation area represents an opportunity to formulate positive policies to improve and enhance its environmental quality and to ensure the successful integration of any development or redevelopment necessary for its continued success as a living and working community.
