Leesfield Parish – 30th September 2018
The Parish Harvest Service is at 10 am on Sunday 7th October
at St Thomas’ Church. Your harvest gifts this year are going to Impact
Community Church, Oldham Street Angels and the Booth Centre, Manchester, so
please be as generous as you can. Items needed are tea, coffee, sugar, soft
drinks, packets of crisps, biscuits and cakes, tinned goods, pasta, rice and
noodles, cook-in sauces and condiments.
After the service you are all invited to join the Ladies of Leesfield for a Harvest Brunch, with bacon or sausage
barms or beans on toast, and tea or coffee. There will also be a Home Bake
stall and a raffle. Tickets are £5 each and are on sale now, or you can pay on
the day.
The Ladies of Leesfield Coffee Morning will be from 10.30 am to 12 noon on Saturday 6th October at 2 Hopkin View, Lees.
Audrey and Roy are organising a coach trip to visit Llandudno for the Christmas Markets on
Saturday 17th November. All are welcome to come along, and there is
a list in the community room for you to add your name.
The proposed programme for the
Deanery Day “We are all Disciples”, on
Saturday 20th October at St John’s Church, Hey, is shown below. There
will be several breaks and opportunities to chat to people from other churches in
between the structured sessions. Refreshments will be provided, but you will
need to bring a packed lunch. To make planning the event easier please put your
name on the lists in both churches.

The Leesfield Parish
Boundary Walk will start from the car park at the end of Station Road,
Grotton at 10 am on Saturday 13th October. The whole walk is just
under 9 miles over varied terrain and takes over 4 hours, but is split into
stages with the easiest sections at the beginning, so people of all ages and
walking abilities can join us and leave before the tough parts. Whatever the
weather, we will be walking, but the exact route may be varied accordingly. Sponsor
forms are available, but by no means essential, as the main aim is to see all
of our parish in the company of friends. For more information or to register
for the walk please see Liz or Kingsley.

lovely pictures please!
