The rota for the Posada at
St Thomas is at the back of church- please sign up to have the holy family in
your home overnight during Advent.
Please would anyone who
has ‘stuff’ in the cupboards (or even not in the cupboards!) at the back of St
Thomas Church please have a good sort
through and clear out as soon as possible – and definitely by the end of
October half term. We need to have the space cleared to enable the preparatory
work for the development project to go ahead.
MyDonate
Leesfield
Parish is now registered with MyDonate, a free service from British Telecom
which enables us to collect donations on-line. MyDonate can also claim Gift Aid
for eligible donations and the only deductions from payments are the charges
made by the credit/debit card issuers.
In
addition to general donations, payments can be made to specific appeals such as
the L.A.S.T. appeal, and events can be published here. Individuals can also
register with MyDonate as Fundraisers for the parish.
To find out more please visit our
page at
The MyDonate page can also be
accessed from our Parish Blogspot, or from our Facebook page.
The
booklet “Mud and Friendship” is now almost complete and ready to go to print.
As well as a walking guide to the Boundary, it will have parish history, local
history and lots of personal memories and photos about the walks and places
around them.
Launch
of the booklet will be at the Christmas Wonderland event at Lees Library on
Saturday 5th December, with copies available for sale at St. Thomas’
and St. Agnes’ Churches from that date.
The
sale price will be £5 per copy. After
deduction of printing costs (around £3 per copy), all sale proceeds will be
divided between Parish finances and the St. Thomas’ Development Fund.
Before
going to print I will need to know how many copies to order, and I have to make
payment for printing costs up front, so it will be useful to have copies
ordered in advance, pre-paid if at all possible.
If
you would like to order a copy forms will be available at St. Thomas’ and St.
Agnes’ from Sunday 25th October. For those who would prefer to order
and pay on-line please visit my fundraising page on https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/lizdent1
