Thank you to everyone who helped makes both of our churches so
beautiful for Christmas.
Many thanks to all who came Carol
Singing around Lees before Christmas, especially the children. We all had a
really good time and took Christmas out to many people who don't get to Church.
The amount collected was £84.89 which was added to loose collections in Church
to give a total of £117.33 in aid of the Booth Centre for homeless people. As
usual, we are collecting surplus hats, gloves and scarves to take to the Centre
so if you have anything to give please put it in the boxes at the back of both
Churches.
The church DCC meetings take place this week.
These are open meetings, and all adults are welcome to come along to discuss or
raise issues concerning their church. These meetings are followed (usually the
next week) by the PCC meeting which is attended by elected members only.

We are
about to sign the contract for the development
work at the back of St Thomas. It is now urgent that we clear the back room
so the work can begin. Please come along next Saturday morning – Jan 16th
– at 10am if you have things that need
clearing/putting in the new storage under the tower. Anything left we will
assume isn’t wanted! Please also come along if you are able to help with the
moving of “stuff” – some of which is heavy.
We plan to
continue to admit children from years 4 and 5 to communion before confirmation
– at the service on Easter Day. This will be the third year we have done this.
Preparation
sessions will need to begin fairly soon as Easter is early this year. If you
are interested please let Edith or the Sunday school leaders know as soon as
possible. Further information is available.
Items for the newsletter to Edith by Wednesday eve
please.
