Jubilee Celebrations and Whit Sunday
What a great weekend we've had!
The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in Oldham got under way on Thursday evening, with beacons being lit around the borough. Below are a few of the photos from Oldham Parish Church, and also one from Hartshead Pike. Our St Thomas' Sunday School leader, Karen Jakeman, was proud to be one of the torch bearers for the event.
Back in our parish, the Ladies of Leesfield hosted a lovely Celebration Afternoon Tea on Saturday afternoon at St Thomas' Church. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make this such a great success.
At the same time, our Sunday School had a street party outside the church, with fun and games (and pizza!). Huge thanks to Karen for organising this.
And finally, on Sunday we celebrated the feast of Pentecost. For the first time in 3 years we were able to have a short Whit Walk, despite the weather, and then held our Churches Together joint service in St Thomas' Church. The hymns in church were accompanied by Dobcross Brass Monkeys, who were fantastic. More photos can be found on our facebook page - Leesfield Parish
