Mid-week Joy 10th June 2020

Mid-week Joy

Welcome again to our mid-week celebration of all the great things happening in Leesfield Parish and beyond.

Our Sunday service details will be here at the weekend, but there's so much more we would love to share with you in the meantime. 

Worship for all Generations is back on Thursday - with "Fruit of the Spirit part two". Everyone is welcome to join us on our facebook page - Leesfield Parish

On Monday this week Manchester Diocese invited us to join them in protesting through prayer and reflecting on the theme: Loving Harder than the Hatred. You can watch the full event on our facebook page, or you may wish to use the prayer below.

This week's Musical item is "Siyahamba", performed in memory of the late Nelson Mandela.

As the government eases lockdown, there is now talk about how and when churches may be able to open their doors again. This will require a great deal of careful thought, and the Standing Committee and PCC are preparing to meet via Zoom to discuss this. What we are certain of is that it will not be "business as usual" for some time, so here's a humorous (and possibly accurate) picture of what going to church could look like in the near future.

Our Sunday schools have been thinking about the things they would like to pray for, and several of the children have written their own prayers. You can see these and all the other activities on their facebook page by clicking on this link - St Thomas Leesfield SundaySchool

This week we would have been celebrating "Cherish Your Churchyard Week", with activities around the church. We can't do that this year, so here's a lovely photo of the children on their Easter Egg Hunt on the lawn.
