Mid-week Joy
Yes, I know it's nearly weekend, but there's a lot going on in our parish at the moment, and I wanted to share as much of it as possible with you all. Our Sunday service will be here at weekend, but in the meantime you're most welcome to have a look at what we're up to.
This week's "Worship for all Generations" was a really special occasion, as it's a whole year since this service started on Thursday evenings at St Thomas' Church. Since then we had to move it to our facebook page whilst our church buildings were closed, and we've been really glad to be back now on Wednesday evenings at St Agnes' Church.
The service is still on our facebook page on Thursdays though, to make sure that anybody who isn't able to come along can join in, along with all our new friends from further afield. You'll find this week's special service on our facebook page - Leesfield Parish
Neil suggested that we might want to sing "Shine Jesus Shine" as we celebrate at home, so here's a really rousing version for you -
Most of our planned fundraising events for this year have had to be cancelled, but instead of our usual sponsored Parish Boundary Walk we had a little competition instead. Paul and I set off from Grotton in the anti-clockwise direction, and Kingsley clockwise, at 10.17 am. 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 is open until Wednesday 30th September and the result will be announced at our Harvest service on the 4th October. If you're able to copy the picture and complete your entry please send it back as a message to our Blogspot. Donations to church funds are most welcome, and there is a prize of a Thornton's Chocolate Hamper for the lucky winner.
Last Sunday's Songs of Praise featured Revd Aaron Jackson, Curate at Holy Trinity Dobcross, and his family (and lots of animals). If you missed it you can catch up on BBC iplayer by clicking on this link - BBC iplayer -songs-of-praise
And finally, here's some news about the Parish Electoral Roll. What's joyous about that? Well, everybody's so glad to be back in our churches that we're hoping you'll all help to sustain them for the future. Here are a couple of bits about it, with the obligatory legal notice at the end. The Electoral Roll opens this weekend, and if you would like a registration form please use the Contact Form on this page (just below the Safeguarding Information)
