Mid-week Joy 13th August

 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. We're taking a break from Mid-week Joy for a couple of weeks now, so anything you need to know will be added at the end of our Sunday blog.

Worship for all Generations will continue its series exploring the books of the Old Testament during the summer. You'll find the service on our facebook page at 6.30 pm on Thursday, just follow this link - Leesfield Parish

Following Revd Edith's retirement at the end of July, Leesfield Parish is now in vacancy. Below is a statement from our Area Dean about what happens next - 

Fundraising events have been badly affected this year by the restrictions, but one of the few we are able to do is the Boundary Walk (although in a very different way). We can’t walk in a companionable group as we usually do, but people who wish to walk part of the route in family groups, take photos and raise sponsorship are welcome to do so. If you want to know more about how to take part or to sponsor us please message this page.

And just for a bit of fun – we have a little Boundary Walk competition! Last Saturday Paul and I set off from Grotton (point 1 on the map)  in the anti-clockwise direction, and Kingsley clockwise, at 10.17 am - see picture.  A map of the route (with the walk in green) is shown below, so a bit like Spot the Ball, just put a cross where you think we met, and write on what time you think it was. For any of you who may not know Kingsley, he has a good 15 year age advantage on us, MUCH longer legs, and didn’t take a picnic lunch. The competition and the walk are both open until the 31st August, so you can drop your entries in at church (hopefully with a small donation to church funds) any time up to then.
