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.

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.

Parcevall Hall and Poetry Retreat

Parcevall Hall is the Diocese of Leeds’ retreat house, set in beautiful countryside in the Dales. There are some leaflets available at the back of church with details of Quiet Days and Retreats available: do take one if you’d like to. On Friday 4 July, Claire will be attending (and celebrating the Eucharist at) a Poetry Retreat, led by the acclaimed local poet, Hannah Stone. The day does not require you to be an expert poetry-writer and no-one will be forced to share anything that they have written. It is ‘pay as you can’ and open to all. Two people from St Mary’s have already signed up to attend, but Claire has room in her car for one more passenger if anyone else would like to come along. Please just speak to her after the service.

Sanctuary: A new monthly contemplative Eucharist

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new monthly service which will be take place at 6.30 pm on the second Thursday of every month, beginning on Thursday 12 June. ‘Sanctuary’ is a contemplative Eucharist, using Taizé-style music and silence to create space for prayerful reflection. Come along and find out more. Tell your friends. All are always welcome.

Open Church

This Saturday 7 June at 2.00 pm
St Mary's Church, Whitkirk

Don’t forget that St Mary’s is open every Saturday afternoon until the end of September for anyone to come in and look around. This may be an easy way for you to invite friends and neighbours who are not churchgoers to come in and find out more, so please do spread the word and encourage people to pop in. Refreshments will be available.

Concert Season: Svitoch Ukrainian Choir

This Saturday 7 June at 6.00 pm
St Mary's Church, Whitkirk

Our 2025 concert season continues as we welcome the Svitoch Ukrainian Choir. The choir brings together talented singers from the Ukrainian diaspora in the UK and refugees who have escaped the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Thank you

Following our APCM on Tuesday and the election of a new PCC, I would like to thank all those who have served the church as Churchwardens, PCC members, or in any other role, during the last year. Special thanks are due to Adam Kelly and Joan Williams, who have stepped down from the PCC, for all their service. Thanks, too, to Nick Jackson, whose term of office on the PCC has come to an end, but who has agreed to be co-opted back on as Data Protection Officer. I welcome Amy Lyons and Carl Murphy as new PCC members and thank them for their willingness to serve.

— Claire

A personal note from Rev'd Claire

First of all, I’d like to wish every single person who reads this a very happy and blessed Easter. May you walk today and as you go forward from here in the light of the risen Christ! I’d also like to register my gratitude to all the people who have walked through Holy Week with me this year. It has been so very special to share this holiest of weeks with you for the first time. I’d like to thank everyone who has attended our services this week – in person or online – for being with us, but special thanks must go to Lynne, our LLM, to the churchwardens, to Giles and the choir, to the serving team, to the sacristans, to our welcomers, greeters and stewards, to the tech team who have ensured that our services have reached those not able to come to church physically, to those who have printed orders of service, to those who agreed to have their feet washed on Thursday evening, to those who have cleaned the church, arranged the flowers, hung the banners and much more. Thank you.

Tots' Corner has moved!

To allow building work to take place in the south-west corner of church, we have temporarily moved Tots’ Corner to the area near the font. Please feel free to sit in this area or to collect toys and activities from there to take back to your pew. This area is not covered by our streaming cameras, and does not appear on the live-stream. Please do not worry if your child makes a noise or needs to move around in that area. We rejoice at children’s presence in church and we love it when they remind us that they are with us.

Trip to the National Memorial Arboretum

Just a reminder that if you have paid your deposit for the trip to the National Memorial Arboretum, the balance is due by 20 April at the latest. If you are able to pay the balance today, please see Joan Williams in the Community Centre after today’s service.

Lent Talks 2025 and more on 'We believe…'

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our series of Lent Talks this year, marking the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea by looking at the Nicene Creed. Not only did we have some excellent speakers, but we also had a great audience every week and some very interesting, challenging, and erudite questions. If you want to continue to think more deeply about the Creeds, watch this space. We will be running a course that will allow you to probe more deeply and ask your own questions after Easter.

Future hopes…

Today we remember how Jesus rode into Jerusalem and the crowds pinned all their hopes for the future on him. As part of our Experience Easter workshops with Whitkirk and Colton Primary Schools, the children were asked to write their hopes for the future on palm leaves. You can look at these ‘future hopes’ in church today in the Trinity Chapel. They are inspiring and hopeful. Our future is in safe hands…!

Donkeys!

A huge thank you is due to Home Farm at Temple Newsam who generously agreed to bring their donkeys, Cassie and Blue, to take part in our service today. Special thanks to Vikki, the Farm Chargehand, who has been in charge of bringing them down to us and looking after them while they are here.

Junior Choir

A final thank-you for today goes to the members of our Junior Choir who have worked very hard to learn and practice some donkey-related songs for today’s service. We hope you will enjoy their singing. Junior Choir will be meeting fortnightly after Easter, culminating in a performance for a music-themed Messy Church on 13 July. Rehearsals will be on the following Tuesdays at 4pm in the Community Centre and all are welcome (up to Year 6):

• Tuesday 6 May
