Dear Friends
Here are a few things happening that I have found out about this week that you might be interested in..
Saturday 18th May – Plant Sale 1-3pm
In church in aid of the Leeds and Moortown Furniture Store.
Sunday 19th May – Global Day of Prayer (Leeds) 6 – 8pm
Hosted by New Testament Church of God, Easterly Road, LS8 2TN
“A great opportunity to pray for different nationalities both here in Leeds and abroad.”
The event will include group prayer times led from the front, and a number of prayer stations will be led by different Christians from the Leeds area as we pray for different nation- and people-groups. Some food will be provided for afterwards if people are able to stay.
Please note that this is one gathering of many happening over Pentecost around the British and Irish Isles. And to mark this the event is in association with “Thy Kingdom Come” and the “National Day of Prayer and Worship (NDOPW)” both of which are supporting many prayer gatherings happening across the UK and further afield.
Please note also that people involved in the Global Day of Prayer are connected to the Intercultural Forum which brings people together who are reaching people of different ethnic and national groups here in the city of Leeds.
