St Luke’s is a smaller church on Mayor’s Walk, West Town, built in 1901 as a Mission Room to serve the growing residential part of St John’s Parish to the west of the railway, before the bridges were built. It was dedicated to St. Luke in 1983 because of its proximity to the District Hospital (since demolished) , where the then incumbent of St John’s was chaplain.

There is a service every Sunday morning at 9.15am.

A quiet service of Wholeness and Healing is held in the church on the first Wednesday each month at 7.30pm (except during August).

If you are looking for something a bit more active to help keep yourself fit then you might like to know there is a Dance Fitness Session at St Luke’s every Monday at 7pm.  This is an hour long session where you can get fit with music to get you moving. The sessions are led by dance tutor Jenny – message her for more information via hello@dancefitnesspeterborough.co.uk

Gardening is another healthy activity that you can get involved with through St Luke’s as part of the church’s plans to join St John’s in gaining an Eco-Church award. Thanks to St Luke’s, our parish  now has its own allotment (shared with our neighbours in St  Jude’s parish) .

St Luke’s is also the usual meeting place for the St John’s Ladies Group. The group now meets monthly in St Luke’s at 2.30pm on the second Tuesday of each month.

There is step-free access into St Luke’s, and there is an accessible toilet. There is a car park at the back of the church.

The St Luke’s Prayer

Since Lord Jesus, you have called us to your service,
Teach us what you would have us do.
Let your love reach out through us to our neighbours,
Unite us in faith and mutual care.
Keep us strong in prayer and
Earnest in hope.
So shall your kingdom come in our community.

(written for St Luke’s by Canon Neville Jones, who in the 1990s was a retired priest living in the parish who assisted the then vicar)
