Christmas in Leesfield Parish
Our Christmas Celebrations are very much under way, so here are a few photos from the last week.
It was really difficult to choose which ones to add on here - many more can be found on our facebook pages -
Last Sunday the four Advent Candles were lit, and then in the evening we had our Parish Carol Service at St Thomas' Church. It was great to welcome back Sam and Ben to play for us at the service - here's a photo of them, and just so you can see how they've grown up, there's one from Carol Singing at the Co-op in 2017.
The Posada figures have been travelling around the parish, staying in the homes of our families and parishioners. They will be returned to church on Christmas Eve, at the Nativity and Crib Service at 5 pm at St Thomas' Church.
On Monday evening, a small group of us went Carol Singing around the village. The rain held off for us, and we were welcomed by parishioners who were really pleased to see and hear from us. We collected an amazing £75.05 for the Booth Centre for homeless people in Manchester.
Our Church Services on Christmas Eve will be the Nativity and Crib Service at 5 pm at St Thomas' Church, and the First Communion of Christmas at 11.30 pm, also at St Thomas'.
The Christmas Day Eucharist is at St Agnes' Church at 9.15 am. All are warmly invited to join us at any of our services!
As usual, there will be a Gospel Reading, reflection and prayers posted on here tomorrow night, and we'll be putting some Christmas Carols on too for you to sing along to at home if you're unable to get into Church.
Wishing you all every blessing from everyone at Leesfield Parish.
