LOCAL
St Luke’s exists to build community in the local area, and to bring spiritual inspiration, emotional support and practical help to those in need.
COLD HARBOUR OXFORD
We commit to work in partnership with all those of goodwill for the common good, create educational and recreational opportunities for young people and others, promote healthy living, try to meet community needs where they arise, support community initiatives, encourage inter-agency working, seek to attract investment to the area, help build the capacity of the community to take control of its own future, make our premises available for non-church events, seek dialogue with those who have differing beliefs from us and work together with other faith groups where we can.

MONTHLEY CONFLUENCE CAFE
2pm - 5pm | 3rd Saturday of the month We are a group of musicians, poets and dancers who have made their home in Oxford. We have roots in the local community but we play music from all over the world. The cultures that we represent are as wide as our membership and include Persian heritage, African drumming and singing, jazz, medieval songs, Sufi poetry and Chinese and Punjabi folk songs, and include dance forms such as Dabke, Butoh, Tango, Contact Improvisation. All are welcome to join us – either to perform or just listen and enjoy.
GUATEMALA | MADDIE BUCHANAN | LATIN LINK
our past children and families worker, Maddie is working with Latin Link, in Guatemala. Maddie is a support worker for those working with the churches in Guatemala, providing lots of encouragement and making sure visitors are safe and happy. She is the ideal person for this role since she understands both ends of the link (through her family history, but also thanks to the training she has undertaken in the last eighteen months).
