Morning and evening prayers

Morning and Evening Prayer are said in the church every day, Tuesday-Saturday, at 8.30 am and 5.30 pm. Please feel free to come along if you’d like to, either regularly or on an occasional basis.

This is a short said service lasting not more than 30 minutes. The church will be open after Morning Prayer until 9.30 am, please free to pop in if you’d like to spend some quiet time in the church or to talk to Claire. Prayer cards are available at the rear of the church for your personal prayer requests. Any prayers left in the box will be offered to God at Morning and Evening Prayer for two weeks: please feel free to renew the request as appropriate.

Donations at our Harvest Festival

Donations taken at our Harvest Festival service next week will be split between WaterAid and the Leeds South & East Food Bank at St Richard’s, Seacroft.

Choral Evensong

Please note that there will be no service of Choral Evensong in October. It will be back as usual on the first Sunday of November.

Intercessions

To help preserve the privacy of those on our prayers list, we will no longer be reading out the full names of those for whom prayer is requested during our intercessions; instead first names only will be used. Please rest assured that God knows the needs of each person for whom prayer is requested without our needing to spell it out.

If you know that someone on the prayer list is feeling better or is out of hospital, please do let us know so that we can update the list and keep it current. If you are aware of anyone who might need home communion or a pastoral visit, please speak to Claire.

Church Cleaning

This Wednesday 2 October at 10.30 am
St Mary's Church, Whitkirk

Help us keep our Grade I listed church looking smart and tidy – if you can spare an hour on a Wednesday morning then why not come along and join our monthly clean? We’ll provide everything you need, from dusters to refreshments!

Harvest Lunch

Next Sunday 6 October at 12.30 pm
St Mary's Church Whitkirk Community Centre

Returning for another year, the St Mary’s Harvest Lunch brings you delicious bangers and mash with veg and plenty of gravy, followed by dessert and tea/coffee. The bar is open as well if you fancy something a little stronger.

There are still some tickets available – if you would like one, or if you have booked but still need to pay, please see Joan Williams after today’s service. £7.50 for adults; £5.00 for children.
