Church Youth Centre Land – Community Update

Dear Residents of Sway Village,

We would like to provide an update on the Church Youth Centre Land, following recent community interest and questions.

First and foremost, the building is not going to be demolished.
It was unexpected but a delight to welcome Little Flyers Nursery, who have recently moved into the building as their new home, and we wish them every success. Their presence brings a wonderful opportunity for closer connections and proximity to the Church, St Luke’s School, and facilities at Jubilee Fields.
The Church remains fully committed to supporting community activities and all the groups currently using the centre. It is encouraging that bookings and use of the centre have increased over the last 12 months and see the building used well. We hope these groups will continue to grow, and we want to reassure everyone that no rash decisions are being made that will affect any of these groups in the long term.
The Church has always and will continue to be, dedicated to serving the needs of the village and enabling community use of the site.
Church Members have a strong focus on sustainability, eco-awareness, and making the most of the life of the current building.
Importantly, the Church is working in close partnership with the Parish Council to explore the best long-term use of the site for the benefit of the church and residents of the village.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Further updates and opportunities for feedback will be shared soon.

Revd Jane Mitchell on behalf of
Parochial Church Council (PCC) Sway.

ALPHA is happening at St Luke's Church! Sign up now!

Over 15 million people worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world.

"What distinguishes Alpha from other initiatives is the easy-going, relaxed feel of the proceedings - that, and its astonishing success."

What is Alpha?

The Alpha course, is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.
