Celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee
Welcome to our Jubilee Celebrations in Leesfield Parish. As well as information here on this page, we'll be sharing prayers, reflections and services from farther afield on our facebook page - Leesfield Parish.
Our Sunday School children have been really busy preparing for the events, and have made the fantastic bunting for in St Thomas' Church, shown in the picture above. As always, our children use fully recyclable, environmentally friendly materials, for their displays instead of resorting to plastic. Well done everyone!
Before our three Church Schools broke up for half-term, they all had their own celebrations - here's a photo from St Hugh's School Jubilee Picnic.
A special Prayer from the Church of England -
Celebratory events in Leesfield take place on Saturday, with parties suitable for all the family. Please see the posters below for details.
On Sunday we celebrate the great Christian feast of Pentecost, and there will be a short said Eucharist at St Thomas’ Church at 9.15 am, with no service at St Agnes’ on that day.
We will then assemble outside church at 11 am for our Whit Sunday procession – down West Street, along Spring Lane, and then back up Thomas Street to Church. We haven’t been able to do this for a couple of years, so it will be wonderful if you could join us, or watch the procession somewhere along the way.
At 12 noon we gather with our fellow Christians from around the area for the Churches Together in Lees and District joint service for Pentecost at St Thomas’. Afterwards we are invited to join our friends at Zion Methodist Church at 1 pm for celebratory refreshments.
