We welcome newcomers

On Sunday we welcomed Revd George Punshon (8am Service) and Revd Canon Philip Humphreys (9.30am Service) while the Rector is hopefully enjoying a well earned break. The All Stars children went to the Hall while some of the parents and visitors came to the 9.30am service. It's that time of year when people are on holiday and likely to visit a church close to where they're staying. It's lovely to meet you, so please come along and say hello. You'll be sure of a welcome.

You'll be pleased to know that Rex Davis succeeded in his Zip Wire Challenge across the River Trent last weekend. Well done, Rex.

Rather you than me!

Rex has an Aqua Box at the back of church which needs filling with various items if you can help.

On Saturday, the weather was dry for the Carnival Parade and many people turned out to see it, and enjoy the stalls and entertainment later. There's always a good chance you're likely to meet old friends you haven't seen for some time even though they live in East Leake. The Parish Council are to be commended for all their hard work in bringing the community together for the day.

There are many events going on throughout June so be sure to check the website on the blog.

This week has been designated Armed Forces Week, so please support all our brave servicemen who are overseas and let them know we're thinking about them. Get out those Union Jacks, if you've already got the England flag out!
