Leesfield Parish – January 2018
The Bible Study group will meet on Mondays 8th, 22nd & 29th January at 1.30 pm. Frank and lively discussions about Scripture and our walk with God. Each Study stands alone...so it doesn't matter if you have missed a few weeks. Please do be encouraged to come along.
Parish meetings in January are – St Thomas’ DCC – Monday 15th at 7 pm, St Agnes’ Open Forum – Wednesday 17th at 8 pm, and PCC – Monday 22nd, 7 pm at St Thomas’. St Thomas’ DCC and St Agnes’ Open Forum are both open meetings, so please come along and have your say, even if you’re not a PCC member.
The £500 deposit for the Rose Queen and Harvest Queen Dinner Dance on Friday 16th March has to be paid to the White Hart now, so we really need to be certain that we will have sold the required number of tickets. The cost is £35 per ticket for this excellent event, and Colette or Karen need names and £5 deposits ASAP.
The Churches Together Service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be at 3 pm on Sunday 21st January at St John’s Hey. All are welcome as we join with our fellow Christians from around the area.
The collections we started around Christmas for those who are less fortunate than ourselves are continuing into the new year. Please be as generous as you can, these organisations work really hard to help people who are homeless and families in crisis, and our intention is to continue our support throughout the year, not just at Christmas and Harvest.
St Agnes’ are collecting non-perishable food items and toiletries for Impact Church Oldham. St Thomas’ are collecting hats, scarves, gloves, socks and toiletries for the Booth Centre, Manchester, and non-perishable food items for the Community Project at St Barnabas’ Church, Clarksfield.
There is a vacancy for a foundation governor at St Thomas’ school, if you would like more information please see Edith or Rebecca.
Advance notice Confirmation is Sunday July 15th 2018
St Thomas’ church is open regularly on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, so people can drop in, look around, pray or just sit. For this to happen, we need volunteers to sit in church. Can you spare an hour now and again? See Edith or sign the list please.
Please send articles for the next edition of “Voice” magazine to paulmdent@gmail.com by Sunday 14th January. It’s also time to renew annual subscriptions for the magazine, so to be sure of getting your regular copy please pay £5 and add your name to the list.
Items for the newsletter, website and facebook pages to Liz (lizzy.dent@googlemail.com) whenever you want to send. Lots of lovely pictures please!
