St Lukes Watford – a welcoming church

Here’s what you can expect and what you should know…

We’re welcoming. People often tell us that we’re good at welcoming visitors and new people. You will be greeted at the door by a member of the welcoming team who will show you into the church and make sure that you have everything you need for worship and that you are comfortable. Inside the church sanctuary you will be offered a notice sheet by the steward and, if required, guided to a seat.

Here’s the YouTube video from our Harvest Sunday morning service – to give you an idea of what happens at St Lukes at our Sunday morning services – there’s no need to book, just turn up, the service starts at 10.30am.

Children are very welcome at St Luke’s and the first part of the worship service is for all ages. Except for All Age Worship, children are encouraged to leave during the main 10.30am service to attend children and youth sessions with our youth leadership team. A crêche is also available throughout the services and has a video and audio link to the church sanctuary so that parents/carers don’t miss a thing!
