Today we welcome Bishop Mark who will lead
our service and confirm 10 members of our parish.
A particular welcome to any visitors who have
come along in support of the candidates.
Parish
Trip to York Saturday 18th July. 9am from the junction of
Spring Lane / West Street, Lees.
4.30p.m. Return from York.
Cost
£13. Please can you pay Audrey or Roy today if you haven’t yet done so.
Bonus Ball There are a few numbers free for this. You
pay £1 a week, and if your number is drawn as the lottery bonus ball you win
£25. This raises a small but steady income for church, and works best if all
numbers are taken. Peter Brooks (at St Thomas) runs this. Please ask if you
would like to take on one of the numbers.
Lees
Village Fair will take place next Sunday July 19th
12noon to 4pm at Springhead Football club on St John’s Rd. Half the proceeds
will be given to church. Still needed- donations for raffle and tombola, and unwanted
(!) teddy bears. (To Emma please) Volunteers
are needed to help run the Tea Tent at Lees Village Fair. We also need
contributions of Home Bake cakes. If anyone is able to help with this,
please contact Jenny Daubney on 0161
620 9098 or see Jenny in Church - MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT
WORK!"
There
will be no pewsheets during the
school holidays, so please make sure that any dates you want on the list are
there, and also make sure you have the list of dates!
Magazine Today is the last date for items for the
August magazine – to enable it to be printed before school closes for the
summer. The September magazine is often rather ‘thin’ so please consider, over
the next few weeks, whether there is anything you could contribute to that
issue. The closing date will be mid August. The magazine is an important way of
sharing, of linking aspects of our parish community. We are a wide and varied
group and it would be good if the magazine could reflect this more. This seems
an appropriate place to publicly thank Paul and Liz for their work in putting
it together every month.
Items for the newsletter to Edith by Wednesday eve
please.
