It may have rained on the parade, but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of all those involved in East Leake's Carnival on Saturday. A great number of families turned out in spite of the wet weather.
East Leake Churches Together gave away hundreds of jam tarts, bookmarks etc. and paper crowns from their stall on the Green.
Churches Together & East Leake's Community Care Association's new Befriending Group had a lot of interest from those entering the Church Hall for their welcome cup of tea and cake. The aim of the service is for people over 60 years of age living in East Leake, to reduce social isolation and lonelinessYou can have a friendly face visit you at home for a listening ear and chat, or become a volunteer visitor. There will be an informal coffee morning at the Parish Council Offices on Saturday, 28th June, 10am-noon if you'd like to call in. If you can't make it, call 07505 733399 for more details.
Revd Canon Terry Joyce visited on Sunday and gave us an insight to our Curate, Claire Goode's training. N.B. There will be no 9.30am service next Sunday to enable the congregation to attend Claire's ordination at Southwell Minster. Instead, an all-age service will be held at St Michael's, Sutton Bonington at 10.30am.
The Revd Moses Thabete and his family from Natal, will also be with us for the Ordination and the Welcome Service. Please come and welcome them. (Further details to come on their visit).
