BRICK APPEAL
St Luke's Church building is under serious threat. The church building is safe for now but if no action is taken then it will soon start to crumble away. Can you help?
Replacing the damaged bricks will cost about £400,000. The total cost of replacing each brick is £50.
Throughout 2011 there will be fundraising events which members of our church and local community are warmly invited to get involved in whilst contributing to the Brick Appeal.
