Leesfield Parish May 29th 2016


There are Christian Aid envelopes at both churches- for your donation if you didn’t receive an envelope through your door. Please support this excellent cause.

Bonus ball is struggling a bit because some people who have numbers have got behind with payments. Also there are several available numbers if you’d like to join (£1 a week, if your number is the bonus ball on Saturday’s lottery draw you win a cash prize.) Susan Harrop is the person to contact or pay.

Afternoon Tea  at Lees Library from 2pm until 4pm on Saturday, 11th June, 2016 to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. Lees Band will be attending and playing patriotic songs and the event will include a celebratory toast to the Queen and Birthday Cake!!  Donations of raffle prizes please.  A list has also been put up at the back of Church, please add your name if you are able to make something for the buffet.  Tickets £5 per adult,  £2.50  children.  (from Audrey or Jenny).  All proceeds will be given to the Development Fund and ticket sales will be match funded by Barclay's Bank, so please buy your tickets as soon as possible.
