The Best Score in life

Luton Street Pastors are earnestly seeking your help.

it will be 15 years this year since we launched Street Pastors in Luton, we started with just under 60 volunteers going out every Friday and Saturday night to help keep the streets of Luton safe. Did you know that in Whitstable the police found a consistent 75% reduction in crime only when street pastors were out? or that in Jamaica in Spanish Town (one of the highest places for murders) showed a 0 murder rate when street pastors were out.

now 15 years later we are down to just 6 street pastors, only managing to get out one Friday night 8pm until midnight and one Saturday after noon 4pm until 7pm once a month and only that if there is no sickness or other problem.

we desperately need your help to recruit and would ask if you would please consider giving us some time in your services to speak about street pastors. Did you know that on our streets in Luton at least 3 people have given their lives to Christ, at least 2 people have not committed suicide, at least 2 people have not died from hypothermia and at least 3 young ladies have not been raped (their words not ours) all due to Street Pastors being out on the streets in our town center.

Please help us to continue to make a difference on the street of Luton

God bless you

On behalf of Luton Street Pastors

We have been challenged to pray for the Olive Tree Church
at 7.00pm each day (or at a time to suit you).
Please pray especially for our search for a minister.

Beth Newport will be compiling our Newsletter from this point forwards. Please forward any items of interest to: bethnewport503@gmail.com
or info@theolivetreechurch.org.uk

Refreshments after service

We’re in the process of drawing up rotas for the Summer. We now only have 3 pairs of volunteers for serving refreshments after the service. So please can I have another offer.

Philip usually gets the boiler going. So before service just requires setting out of items. After service, serving and clearing away. Also to provide milk.

Luton Foodbank is still desperately short of the items shown in the graphic below:-

If you’re able – please bring some of these items to church on Sunday – By the way this is a constantly on-going need! Pray for an end to poverty and a just and caring Government.
