The Leeds South & East Food Bank: What's Needed?
The Leeds South & East Food Bank continues to be in urgent need of donations of food to help feed those in most need. In particular at the moment they are asking for tinned potatoes, tinned fruit, UHT milk, tinned vegetables and biscuits.
If you are able, you can donate by picking one of these items up in your weekly shop and dropping it in the box at the back of the church. You can find other ways to help, including donating money or your time, on their website at wkrk.uk/fbd. If you need the help of a foodbank yourself, see wkrk.uk/fbh.
Junior Choir
Our Junior Choir are practicing once again, culminating in a performance for a music-themed Messy Church on 13 July. Rehearsals will be on the following Tuesdays at 4.00 pm in the Community Centre and all are welcome (up to Year 6): – Tuesday 20 May – Tuesday 3 June – Tuesday 17 June – Tuesday 1 July
Tots' Corner
You will see that Tots’ Corner has now returned to its usual position, near the main door of the church. We have loved having our children nearer the front of church, but we recognise that it may be easier for parents to be nearer the back and the door. Please, though, do not ever feel that you need to go out if your child is making a noise or needs to move around – we love having them in church. If your child would like to come and see what is happening up at the front at any time, please just let them come: they can gather round the altar during the Eucharistic Prayer if they would like to see what we are doing. They are very welcome (but do bear in mind that the area around the altar will be visible on the livestream).
Confirmations
Bishop Arun will be visiting Whitkirk to carry out confirmations on 19 October. If you would like to be confirmed at that service, have a word with Rev’d Claire.
Jean Noble's funeral
The funeral of Jean Noble will take place on Wednesday 14 May at 2.30 pm at Cottingley Crematorium. The funeral tea will be held in our Community Centre from about 3.30 pm and all are welcome (even if you are not able to attend the funeral). During the tea, the church will be open for anyone who would like to go in and pray for Jean and light a candle in her memory to do so.
