Leeds lent prayer diary 2025..we have some free paper versions in church for you to pick up.
The lectio 365 prayer app (download on your phone) is doing a lent series now. Do ask if you need a hand with the app.
Some of the church are gathering for a prayer whats app call at 9 o clock pm on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for the world, the church, ourselves. Do ask Mandy, Adam or Krys if you want details.
If you would like to try a group during lent then you’d be very welcome. We learn from each other.

On Easter Sunday we’d love to baptise those who feel they want to be baptised or feel God is ‘nudging’ them about it. Do get in touch with me if you want a quick chat. Details of Easter week are being arranged. We know that we’ll be meeting on Good Friday too in church and joining with local churches on Alwoodley village green in the afternoon of Good Friday. The egg hunt will also return. Thanks to those offering to put it together. If you would like to contribute anything, then do get in touch.
Lesley and Rachel B are unavailable this week so do get in touch with me, a deacon or relevant group leader for immediate questions. For anything non urgent feel free to contact Lesley on admin@moortownbaptistchurch.org.uk as usual.
