Newsletter – 3rd March 2019
We've had a lovely thank-you from the Booth Centre for the money we collected from our Carol Singing before Christmas, and all your kind donations of warm clothes and toiletries. Well done everybody!
The next round of parish meetings starts tomorrow afternoon at 1.30 pm with Standing Committee. Next week St Thomas’ DCC meets at 7 pm on Monday the 11th, and St Agnes’ Open Forum at 8 pm on Wednesday the 13th. The DCC and Open Forum meetings are open to everyone, so please do come along and join the conversation.
Following the Shrove Tuesday 10 am service, the ladies will be making pancakes, so if you haven’t been to a Tuesday morning service before, this may be a good week to start!
Ash Wednesday is on the 6th March, and our service is 7.30 pm at St Thomas’ Church. Light refreshments will be served by the Ladies of Leesfield in the Community Room afterwards.
The Churches Together Lent lunchtime meetings start at 12 noon on Tuesday 12th March at Zion Methodist Church, and continue there weekly throughout Lent, except for the final one on the 9th April which will be at Springhead Congregational Church. This year’s theme is Art in its Widest Sense, and for anyone who hasn’t been before these are really interesting meetings. After the meetings we gather for a simple lunch of soup and bread, giving us the opportunity to socialise with our fellow Christians from around the area.
The deadline for the next edition of “Voice” magazine is Sunday 17th March. Please send your articles to Paul at paulmdent@gmail.com or hand them in at church.
Items for the newsletter, website and facebook pages to Liz (lizzy.dent@googlemail.com) whenever you want to send. Lots of lovely pictures please!
