Dear friends
We look forward to continuing to look at Pentecost and the character of Peter at all age café church on Sunday. We start at 11am so make sure you come a bit beforehand to pick up your breakfast snacks and drinks.
Rock Solid youth groups meet again 7-8pm in the church building, that includes both age groups. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Throughout the week we have a number of house groups, plus all the usual groups that meet in the church each week. If you would like a reminder about what happens in the building, you can pick up a leaflet in the foyer or contact Lesley in the office if you want to go on the email list. Also check out the website www.moortownbaptistchurch.org.uk or follow us on facebook.
Having said that Lesley our administrator is not in the office this week so she will respond to emails and/or messages when she comes back. In the meantime, do get in touch with myself or a deacon or the group leader if you know who they are.
Here’s what’s coming up in the week!
Monday 8th June 10-12 Beacon warm welcome café for all. Food pantry available. The Big Lunch! 12pm-1pm after Beacon Café, inviting people of all faiths and none to share lunch and get to know each other a bit more. Lunch is free, invite your friends. If you are working that day but can nip out for lunch in the middle of the day then do come along, you don’t need to have been at Beacon. Do pray too that God will help build relationships and an openness to each other.

They said…”Bring a picnic, bring your family and friends, meet new people, enjoy the live band and discover the amazing community groups that help make Alwoodley a great place to live. This year we are also celebrating Leeds 400 which marks the moment that Leeds became a city so this is a way to get involved and find out more about our city and Alwoodley.
We are looking at how we engage with communities around us in relation to the Leeds 400 events. We’ll keep in touch.
Thanks to those who have offered to help with the alpha course after we mentioned it at the last church meeting. There will be more information coming out in the next two weeks for those interested in helping.
