ARCHDEACON'S VISITATION ON 19TH JUNE:  THANK YOU

The Ministry Team and Church Wardens express their appreciation to everybody involved in the various roles during the Visitation Serrvice which St Leonard's hosted. After-service refreshments were well-received, and thank you to all those who volunteered to serve our guests and clear away everything afterwards. Thank you to the team of Welcomers who handed out documents before the service, collected the Offertory and tidied the pews afterwards; the occasion was a team effort and certainly demonstrated our commitment to serving God in our various roles. Special mentions for Ian on the sound desk and Christine Callan for her delicious cakes. Thank you.

GIVING AT ST LEONARD'S

Giving expresses our love for God and responds to God’s generosity to us. It is part of our worship week by week. There is a digital giving device at the back of church for card/contactless giving. Please use on your way in or out of church. It is simple to use, and a quick cost-effective method for us to collect your offertory giving.  The offertory plate will continue to be passed in church, but if you are able, please use the digital device instead. You may also give online at: www.middletonparishchurch.org.uk or set up a Standing Order through the Church Office.

 

 

SAFEGUARDING

If you have any safeguarding concerns please contact our Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinators Ann Connell and Sarah Jennings. Safeguarding@middletonparishchurch.org.uk

 

 

PARENTS/GUARDIANS!

C of E Secondary Schools require ‘points’ to enable your child to attend that school.  Regularly attending God’s Squad helps to accumulate those points. Please see registration sheets at the entrance of church every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday.  Please ensure your child is booked in.

 

 

UGANDA UPDATE

Please see the notice board in the south aisle for more information. We have now received the latest news from Richard about his work, and with up to date photos of him and his family. Please do take some time to look at it. Thanks from Ian and Dorothy.
