Picnic
It’s been a very busy few weeks at St Luke’s! Sadly some of the busyness has been due to the funerals of two much loved saints of the church – Glad Beckham and Alf Swan. We will sorely miss their kindness, friendship and wise experience from our community, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of the life and leadership of St Luke’s Highton for many years. Go well, Glad and Alf – we’ll see you on the other side!
