‘REMARKABLE LIVES’ AT ST. LUKE’S
Are you coming to the ‘Remarkable Lives’ event at St. Luke’s on the evening of
Sunday 1st March?
This is an opportunity to hear international speakers Mark and Joanna Williamson
lead presentations on the lives on William Wilberforce and Amy Carmichael – two
ordinary people who allowed God to use them, and consequently led remarkable
lives of deep holiness and incredible mission.
On the evening, Mark and Joanna will be joined by Devon Brown and Simon Cooper,
who combine congregational worship with new songs to inspire.
For the last 10 years, Mark and Joanna Williamson have been involved with training
and mentoring spiritual leaders and they have experience working all over the
globe. Mark has written biographies on John Wesley and William Wilberforce, is part
of the Prayer for London prayer initiative, and also leads a Café Church for young
adults. Joanna has written biographies on Hudson Taylor and Amy Carmichael, and is
passionate about 21st century international mission. She is a board member of
Renovare UK, an ardent advocate for spiritual formation, and is currently working on
her Doctorate in international leadership and global mission.
Worship Leader and host, Simon Cooper, loves to share inspirational stories from his
life and has been ministering recently in Malta, Israel and India. He is a speaker and
worship leader with an international ministry, whose work has seen him leading at
venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Central Hall, at cathedrals and
churches throughout the country, as well as contributing to national television and
local radio shows.
Devon Brown is a regular worship leader at Millpool Church in Birmingham. Devon’s
music ministry has touched lives internationally, including Canada, India and Israel.
As a singer for over 30 years, Devon has taken many principal roles in musicals which
have been seen both in live shows and on BBC television. Devon is excited about
seeing Christians uplifted and brought closer to God.
The ‘Remarkable Lives’ evening commences at 6.30pm and is an ecumenical event
which is FREE to attend. We’d love to fill St. Luke’s so please spread the word
among your friends, family or work colleagues and invite them to join us for this
special evening as we celebrate two "Remarkable Lives" and hear more amazing
stories of how God builds His Kingdom through the lives of ordinary individuals.
Flyers for the event are available in the Foyer.
LUNCH PLUS
The next Lunch Plus will be held on Wednesday (11th February), at 12 for 12.30pm.

Look upon your servants, O Lord, weak in faith but praying
for your strength; cold in heart, but seeking the fire of love;
assailed by doubt, but awaiting assurance; abounding in sin,
yet longing for righteousness; now and forever. Amen.
Martin Luther (1483 – 1546)
