As part of the National
Heritage Week, St Thomas' Church will be open to the public from 10 am to 4
pm on Saturday 10th September, including tours of the bellringing chamber from
10 to 12. Please come along if you are interested. It is a Tea and Toast
morning too!
Tea and
Toast is September 10th not 17th as
originally planned.
This year's Sponsored Leesfield Parish Boundary Walk is on Saturday 17th September, starting at 10 am from
Grotton Park at the end of Station Road. Sponsor forms are now available.
Please see Liz or Paul or telephone 0161 627 4515 for further information. It
would be lovely to have lots of walkers again this year, and we will need
checkpoint marshals as well. If you aren't able to join us please support the
event by sponsoring a walker
If you don’t have a copy of
Liz’s book –Mud and Friendship- yet this might be a good time to get one as it
has the map in it as well as lots of interesting information.
A reminder – Sunday School begins at St Agnes at 9.10am. To be marked as present (for
the purpose of school) children should be there by that time. Similarly, to be
marked present, children should be in St Thomas Church before the
service begins at 11am.
Harvest Sunday is October 2nd. There will be a Parish Service at St
Thomas 11am. No service at St Agnes that day. This will be followed by Harvest
Lunch in church. This is a ticket only event (because we need to know numbers
in advance for catering). Adults £5 Children up to 11 years £2.50
Bonus Ball is continuing – though we are looking at some changes –watch this
space. If you would like to join please have a word with Susan Harrop or Roy
Atkinson.
Tuesday morning Holy Communion service at St Thomas at 10am. This is a short (30mins)
service without hymns. It would be good to involve more people. If you are
around at that time why not drop in and give it a try? And stay for a cuppa
afterwards too !
Community Room Anyone wishing to book the
community room at St Thomas should contact Audrey Atkinson (652 2987) She is in
charge of bookings so we don’t double book.
Supplementary forms – should be given to
Edith by October 2nd for completion. They will be signed and
returned to you soon afterwards.
Christmas Stall will begin 23rd
October at St Thomas.
