PCC meets, Monday 18th 7pm St Thomas
Thursday 21st Ladies of Leesfield Coffee evening at 83 Spring Lane 7.30pm
We are close to signing
the contract for the development work at the back of church. The work will
probably begin in early April, and so there will inevitably be some
disruption…… things not in the usual places etc. Please be patient – it will be
worth it!
Your church needs you! Why
not use the New Year as a time to start doing something extra for church? It is
too easy to expect things to just happen, for others to do them. We
particularly need more people to read and do the prayers at both churches –
help is available if you are unsure. The flower rota at St Agnes has spaces,
the flower arrangers at St Thomas would welcome more volunteers, the coffee
rota at St Agnes needs filling in too.
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.
St. Thomas’
Leesfield Eco Committee have their next textile collection on Wednesday 27th January, so if you fancy
a clear out of clothes, shoes, handbags, etc please bag up and bring along for
9am. If you need your bags collecting
please contact Karen Jakeman.
The Ultimate Minion’s
Valentine’s party is coming to St. Thomas’ Leesfield on Friday 12th February 6:30pm-8:30pm. So come along in
fancy dress and be entertained by Mimi Minion and friends; music, dancing and
silly games. Don’t delay buy your ticket now, only £5 including food,
drink and photograph with your Minion friend. Tickets are available from
Mrs Jakeman. This will be a children
only disco and parents are requested to drop off their children for a 6:30pm
start and pick them up promptly at 8:30pm. Thank You.
From next Sunday 24th January, you can
pick up a bargain at the church stall run by Harvest Queen Amy Jakeman and her
retinue. There will be books, toys and
household goods.
Items for the newsletter to Edith by Wednesday eve
