Acting up at St Mary's.

Saturday, 26th Jan was St Mary's Pantomime and Party time, and as usual 'A Good Time Was Had By All'!

See if you can spot some familiar faces in different guises.

There are a few more photos on our website.







Coming up:
Messy Church this Sunday at 4.00pm
Worship Together on Sunday 10th Feb. at 9.30am.



Don't forget! Shrove Tuesday on Feb 12th.  Get ready for pancakes!


Ash Wednesday services at 10am and 7.30pm with the Imposition of Ashes .

Success in Village Photo Competition!

St Mary's Nativity photo is one of the winners!
The photo taken at St Mary's Nativity was entered among others into the 'Twelve Days of East Leake Christmas Photo Competition', and became one of the twelve winners.

Well done to all the children who took part.

It is the first time such a competition has been held and we look forward to future ones.


St Mary's will be holding its Family Party and Pantomime this Saturday at 4.00pm in the church, if you'd like to join us for the fun.  Please bring something towards the party food, and if any children would like to take part, please bring a lampshade (to be worn on the head!). Adults are welcome to do the same if they wish!  It's all good fun. Any photos taken (especially silly ones) will be welcome, but remember to get the person's permission first. 
You can send them to our email on: stmarys@eastleake.net.

Epiphany!

Do you know what Epiphany means? It's when you suddenly realise the meaning of something.
First you don't understand something new, but when someone explains it to you, it's like a little light bulb going on in your head, and you understand.
The Three Wise Men had an Epiphany when the baby they visited really was the Son of God come down on Earth.  Wow!

So what are you going to discover this new year? Are you going to discover that Jesus was a real person and can help you solve your problems; that He was the Son of God and is waiting for you to carry on his good work? He meant for us all to love and care for one another, take care of this wonderful world and everything in it. He's the solution to all the world's problems and is there 24/7.  Just ask.

Starting the New Year!

It's a new year, a new dawn and the children are back in school this week. Coming up at St Mary's are the following:

Thursday 10th Jan, 1.30pm - the first Games Afternoon of the year in the church.

Do you enjoy acting?  Then we would like to meet YOU!
Saturday, 26th Jan at 4.00pm - Church Party and our own home-grown Pantomime at St Mary's Church.  Would you like to take part - no matter how big or small the part?  We are looking for adults AND especially children to join in the fun. PLEASE let Revd Glynis know as soon as possible!
