Dear friends,

Welcome back to Church this week!
Some of you will be with us in Church at 10am, others online as usual.
Whichever way you are worshipping, let’s enjoy being together this morning.
Please click here to watch this morning's service online, featuring John, Sandra, and Richard. For those attending the service in Church, a mask is required for all over age 11. If you do not have a face covering, we have a limited supply.
Today we’re focussing on Jesus' compassionate leadership and I hope it’s an encouragement.

Please continue to pray for all who need our prayers.
Sarah Gale, Marylin Bush, and Malcolm Raistrick just to name a few.
We also continue to pray for a vaccine to COVID-19, and give thanks for all the progress made so far.

Many thanks to those who have already emailed Rachel to ‘book in’ for afternoon tea or dinner in the Vicarage Garden in 2 weeks' time.
This invitation is for everyone, just in groups of 10 (assuming current government policy for Leeds remains) we’d love to spend time with you.
It’s fine to book in as a larger group such as two or three families, we just need to make sure that everyone who would like to visit is able to do so safely.
Please see previous Newsy Email #178 for more info and contact information.
It would be helpful to let Rachel know before next Friday 7th please.
These are the remaining times available:
Thursday 13th: 2.30pm & 6pm
Friday 14th: 2pm & 6pm
Saturday 15th: 2pm, 4pm, & 7pm
Sunday 16th: 2pm, 4pm & 7pm

Regarding Sunday morning Church services, just quick a reminder that we are returning to two services in September, at 9am and 11am.
I’d also like to take an opportunity on Sunday 6th September to thank a few key people at both services.
And finally, on Sunday 13th September (The Arnold's final service) I’d like to invite anyone who can join us for a picnic just outside Church after the 2nd service, in our family bubbles, or socially distanced. Drinks will be provided.
Please see my previous Newsy Email #178 for more info about all this.

Blessings,
Phil
