Sunday 9 October 2016

Leesfield Parish October 9th 2016


Thank you to everyone who helped make last Sunday’s Harvest service and lunch such a success!

 Next Saturday (15th) Tea and Toast at St Thomas 10.30am All welcome. Come along and bring a friend for a cuppa and a chat.

This is the time of year when we are asked to fill in Income survey forms. The diocese uses these in the calculation of our Parish share. If you regularly attend one of our churches please complete one of these anonymous forms and put it in the box provided. Don’t think that if your income is low it’s not worth doing….it really is!

School Supplementary forms (Bluecoat and Crompton House) were signed this week at meetings of Edith, Church warden and Sunday School Leader. Please collect yours from Edith (St Thomas) or Laura (St Agnes). If you are thinking about these schools in the future Karen and Laura have simple list of categories for qualifying for these Church forms.

On Tuesday evening (11th) we have a meeting of Churches Together at Zion Methodist Church at 7.30pm. This really is open to everyone! Please come along

Unfortunately I have been unable to arrange another series of Exploring Prayer sessions this term as I had hoped. It has proved impossible to find a regular time and venue for 5 sessions. I am trying to arrange for next term. However there is a half day on November 5th that you would find interesting. It is at the Cathedral (easy, 5 mins from the Victoria tram stop) beginning at 9.30am. There will be 12 workshops , of which you can choose to attend 2. Do think about coming along. More details on the posters in church.


Community Room  Anyone wishing to book the community room at St Thomas should contact Audrey Atkinson (652 2987) She is in charge of bookings so we don’t double book.

In order to save on printing costs and to be more environmentally friendly, we are reducing the number of newsletters we are producing. Newsletters are sent electronically to everyone for whom Edith has an e mail address. If you would like to add your name to the list of those who can be sent information electronically please let Edith have your e mail.  Information from newsletters and from the magazine are published on the website too.
