The Leeds South & East Food Bank: What's Needed in September
The Leeds South & East Food Bank continues to be in need of donations to help those in most need. In particular at the moment they are asking for UHT milk, tinned fruit, custard, cooking sauces, biscuits and cereal.
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.
Do you know someone who could use a 'Listening Ear'?
Following discussions about how we can best offer pastoral support to those in need from our congregation and the broader parish, we have established a group of volunteers who are prepared to act as a ‘listening ear’ for those unable (permanently or temporarily) to attend church. Volunteers will phone those who would like someone to talk to for a chat once a week or so. If you would benefit from this, or if you would like to nominate someone you know, please contact Claire ([email protected]; 0113 531 8141) and she will provide more details.
Tots' Corner
You may have noticed that Tots’ Corner has had a refurb. This has been made possible by a generous donation made in memory of David and Cynthia Grice. We know how much Cynthia, in particular, loved Tots’ Corner and seeing children in church, and we hope that this is a fitting reminder of her and all that she and David contributed to the life of this church.
Crossgates Methodist Church
You may have heard the sad news that Crossgates Methodist Church is closing. It is holding a final service on 27 September at 3.00 pm to which all are invited. It would be nice for some people from St Mary’s to attend, if we can, to support our Methodist friends. Please do keep the congregation in your prayers as they say farewell to their church.
