Key to the strength of the St Luke's church family are the nine small groups which meet weekly or fortnightly in and around the village.
Our church plays an important role in the life of the village and is continually looking at ways to build on its links with the community. As well as hosting events like the Flower Festival, May Fayre, Village Quiz Night etc; and encouraging Church members to join and enjoy the many interest groups that thrive in Sway; we are working hard to develop a network of care, through Lay Visitors Teams, offereing support and encouragement to any in need. (see our Caring for You pages)
Children & Families are at the heart of our vision for the future; Jane, our Vicar and Claire, our Children & Families Worker, along with the team of helpers are at the heart of sharing the good news of Jesus with younger people. Jane and Claire take regular assemblies at St Luke's School and Jane is a Foundation Govenor. There is a fun and dedicated team from St Luke's members leading "Open the Book' weekly in St Luke's when short bible stories are acted out to the whole school - often with younger volunteers helping! Messy Church is our main monthly focus for worship for families and takes place straight after school, and is proving a great hit with local families. With a monthly "Engage" group for ladies and occasional Men's Breakfast we enjoy opening our doors for all the community to enjoy friendship and share life together.
