News from the Diocese of Leeds:Revd Jemma sander-Heys has been appointed Priest in Charge of Battyeford Christ the King and Lecturer and Tutor at the College of the Resurrection Mirfield. Please see the note from Jemma in the image.
The young people of Christ Church, Oakworth, wanted to do something to help people who are experiencing homelessness and have decided to fundraise for Leeds Charity St. George's Crypt, which offers emergency support 365 days a year. So at this chilly time of year, later this February, the youth group will be undertaking a night hike and then ending by sleeping out in the church porch to think about the experience of homelessness and to raise funds for this local cause! Please give what you can - every penny goes to the vital work of St George's Crypt. See their Justgiving page:https://www.justgiving.com/page/oakworth-parish-youthgroup-sleepout
