Mid-week Joy
Welcome back to our mid-week celebration of all the great things happening in Leesfield Parish and beyond.
Our Sunday service details will be here as usual at weekend, but there's so much more that we would love to share with you in the meantime.
Last week we were pleased to announce that "Worship for all Generations" was returning to church - on Wednesdays, 6.30 pm at St Agnes' Church. For everyone who wasn't able to make it, you can still watch the service on our facebook page from 6.30 pm on Thursday, just click here - Leesfield Parish
This week's musical item comes from the Britain's Got Talent auditions earier this year. "Sign Along With Us" was David Walliams' Golden Buzzer Act, and we're sure you'll agree that it was brilliant. Why is this relevant to Leesfield Parish? Because the group is led by Jamie-Lee, who is a brand new teaching assistant at St Hugh's school! The act will be in this Saturday's semi-final, so even if you don't usually watch BGT please do tune in and cheer them on.
Staying with the theme of TV programmes and our local area, this week's Songs of Praise includes a feature on Harvest in Saddleworth. Presented by Revd Kate Bottley, the programme airs on BBC1 TV at 1.15 pm on Sunday.
Our own Harvest service will be at St Thomas' Church at 10 am on Sunday 4th October. Of course, it won't be anything like what we would usually do - no Harvest hymns, or tasty Harvest brunch after the service - but donations of non-perishable food items are still most welcome. Donations can be brought into church, and will be left untouched until Wednesday, when they will be taken down to Impact Community Church in Hollinwood. Impact Community Church does amazing work with homeless people and others in need in the Oldham area, and any donations we can make are extremely helpful in these difficult times.
