Church Services
Our 1954 Node Pipe Organ (enhanced and modified over the years) still gives a full and glorious sound. We are privileged to have had many top organists play at St Luke’s over the years. Currently we enjoy the organ preludes and postludes played before the Service and afterwards as we make our way out the door for morning tea and a chat. Our Organist Sophie Gerber brings us a mixture of fine classical and religious pieces of music and accompanies the hymns in a way that enhances our worship together. Children normally share in the first 10 – 15 minutes of the Service and then go out for Sunday School while the adults go on to hear a Biblically based Sermon – either topical or as an exposition of what the Lord teaches. We also have a ‘Praise’ section where we sing a few more modern Christian songs and choruses on the piano, accompanied by guitar and or drums. During the
school terms when Sunday School is in full-swing we have a “Kid’s Spot”
early in the service where we either hear a children’s story
or
an interesting object lesson. However most frequently we have
a
short puppet show featuring ‘Binko’ who is well known amongst the
children around the district schools. Northside Bible Talks 5.30pmThis
is our new our evening gathering. Whilst it is for all ages
to
share and enjoy, Sunday Evening Northside Bible Talks is contemporary
in style, with modern Christian songs, with the music by our band, and
led by younger people. Second Wednesday of each month at 7:15pm followed by an informal supper in the foyer. Today many people have to work or have family commitments on Sundays. Others want a pick-up in the middle of the week – a time of praise and sharing. Church on Wednesday (COW) is designed just for that purpose. We commence at 7.15pm and are finished just after 8.00pm. COW features a number of praise type songs old and new accompanied on the piano. The result is enthusiastic singing followed by a short time of sharing of life’s blessings and concerns. The Devotional is short and snappy – less than 10 minutes. A great time of fellowship over a seasonal supper concludes the evening.
