Thank you to everyone who made the Rose Queen at Home last Sunday such a
success.
Christmas Stall begins today in St Thomas,
after the service.
Thursday 27th Ladies of Leesfield meet 7.30pm in the
community room. Guest speaker is
Glenis Atherton
Next Sunday we celebrate All Saints Day with services at the usual times
in both churches. Then in the afternoon we have a service for All Souls at St Thomas’ at 3.30pm. This
is a short reflective service where we come together to remember our loved ones
departed. There will be readings and hymns and an opportunity to light a candle
for a loved one. The names of everyone for whom the clergy have conducted a
funeral in the last 12 months will be read out, and if you attend, you are
invited to add the names of your loved ones departed to the list. Everyone is
of course welcome.
On the 5th of November we are invited to attend the School of Prayer in the Cathedral. This
will be an interesting and inspiring event. A group of us are going to meet at
Derker Tram stop just before 9am to travel together. You are welcome to join us
–let me know if you need a lift to Derker! The event finishes late lunchtime.
On 6th November there is a Churches together service at
Springhead Congregational Church at 3pm.
Title is For all the Saints.
We will sing hymns, listen to some short talks and pray about 3 of the
well-known saints. See poster in church for details.
Parish trip to York Christmas
market will be on Saturday 19th November. Leave at 9am, returning
4.30pm. The cost is £15. Please Let Audrey, Roy or Vera Howarth know if you
want to go.
If you attend church regularly and
haven’t yet complete an Income survey
form please would you do so today.The diocese uses these in the calculation
of our Parish share. The forms are anonymous! Don’t think that if your income is low it’s
not worth doing….it really is!
