29th April 2018


Leesfield Parish – 29th April 2018
The Bible Study group will meet tomorrow, Monday 30th April 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.

Ladies of Leesfield coffee morning is from 10.30 am to 12 noon on Saturday 5th May at 31, Ivy Green Drive.


This year’s Ascension Day Communion is on Thursday 10th May, 7.30 pm at St Thomas’. The ladies will be serving coffee afterwards so please feel free to join them for a chat.

The first session of preparation for confirmation for children will take place straight after school on Tuesday 8th May at St Thomas’ Church. More information to follow for adults wishing to be confirmed.

Rose Queen – The new Rose Queen Ella Spence will be crowned at St Agnes’ on Saturday 12th May at 2 pm. Lots of fun activities and refreshments will be available after the ceremony. Family tickets (price £2.50) are now on sale, please see the Rose Queen and retinue mums. Even if you can’t make it to the crowning, please buy a family ticket, as all tickets will be entered into a draw to win a £50 cash prize.

Christian Aid Week 13 – 19 May – We will again be collecting House-to-House in Lees, and need volunteers to help with this. If you could spare a couple of hours in that week to deliver envelopes and return a couple of days later to collect them please contact Liz or Paul. The more volunteers we have, the more money we can collect!

Also during Christian Aid Week we are again hosting a Big Brekkie from 9 am onwards on Thursday 17th May in St Thomas’ Community Room. Tickets cost £5 for bacon buttties or beans on toast and unlimited tea, coffee, toast & jam, and will be on sale from 10th May onwards.

On Saturday 19th May the Ladies of Leesfield are having their monthly Tea and Toast morning at St Thomas’ from 10.30 am to 12 noon. All are most welcome to come along.

Also on Saturday the 19th Rose Queen Ella and her retinue are hosting a Royal Wedding Tea Party at St Agnes’. The event will run from 11 am to 5 pm, with lots of fun activities for children all day, and the wedding itself will be shown live on a big screen. Tickets cost £5 per adult (including afternoon tea, a glass of fizz to toast the happy couple & unlimited tea/coffee), £3.50 per child, (including lunchbox, non-alcoholic fizz & unlimited cordial). Other refreshments will be on sale throughout the day. Buy your tickets now from the Rose Queen and retinue mums to avoid disappointment, as space is limited.
