The Leeds South & East Food Bank continues to be in urgent need of donations of food to help feed those in most need. In particular at the moment they are asking for UHT milk, biscuits, custard, cooking sauces and tinned or packet mashed potatoes.

If you are able, you can donate by picking one of these items up in your weekly shop and dropping it in the box at the back of the church. You can find other ways to help, including donating money or your time, on their website at wkrk.uk/fbd. If you need the help of a foodbank yourself, see wkrk.uk/fbh.

We would love you to join us this evening for our Advent Carol Service. As the church moves from darkness to light, we will sing Advent hymns and will hear a series of readings that point us to Jesus as 'the one who is to come', as the choir sings Advent anthems. Come for a multi-sensory experience to help us focus not just on Christmas but on this time of waiting and anticipation.

The prizewinning Svitoch Ukrainian Chamber Choir perform beautiful, exciting carols and seasonal sacred Ukrainian songs. Book your tickets online now at wkrk.uk/aws.

Don't miss our legendary Crib Service at 5.00 pm on Christmas Eve, when we will once again be playing a Christmassy pass-the-parcel. Fun for all the family.
