Mid-week Joy 3rd 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. 

The theme for this Thursday's Worship for all Generations is "Fruit of the Spirit" , and you can join us on our facebook page by clicking on the following link - Leesfield Parish

This week's musical item is from our friends Joanne & Steve from Dearne Big Band, who performed for us at a fundraiser a few years ago. As well as helping us out with the music for the Churches Together online service for Pentecost, they've been entertaining their neighbours as part of the weekly "Clap for Carers". They were definitely not misbehavin' (at a time when quite a few other people may have been) - to watch please click on the following link - Ain't misbehavin'

Here's a calendar filled with daily activities - have a Joyful June! 

We managed to celebrate Pentecost together in a Churches Together in Lees and District joint service - ifyou missed it you can still watch on the blog page for the 31st May.

Our Sunday Schools also celebrated by sharing some photos of earlier Whit Walks. A few are shown below, but to see more just click on this link to the Sunday School Facebook page - St Thomas Leesfield Sunday School

RACE FOR LIFE AT HOME
Harvest Queen Annie and her retinue and Sunday School friends are still going ahead with the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research, but at home between now and the end of June.

Everyone is doing their own type of “Race for Life” with the Yates family, who are currently shielding, walking round their field for 5k. Amy, who has recently taken up running, plans on running 5k a day for 14 (her age) days. Chrissie Whitehead is currently practising for her 10k and others including Annie have also decided to do 10k as they can complete it over a few days around the beautiful countryside in our area. Anyone who wishes to join them please message this page and we'll forward your message to Karen.
PLEASE SPONSOR THEM online with the link below. THANK YOU. St Thomas Leesfield Sunday School Race for Life 

Hope you had fun doing the Leesfield Parish Photo Quiz - the answers are below.

And if you were wondering what photo 8 was about - here's how it happened - The teddy bear accident

Our final item for today involves both nature and music. Thank you Beryl for sending it in!

See you at the weekend!
