Prayer for the Crypt Our food cupboards are nearly empty and we are giving out about 40 food parcels a week to families in desperate need. We also feed about 100 people a day who come to the Crypt. Please pray that we get a response to our appeal from businesses, churches and other organisations so we can continue this important work.
An increase in the number of people needing food parcels means the Crypt is low on goods. If you could add tins of meat/ veg/potatoes to your weekly shop and bring them to church on Sundays, it would be much appreciated.
Wed 16 April, Centre 11am Midweek Communion followed by tea and biscuits. 12 noon Guest speaker the Venerable Paul Hooper (Archdeacon of Leeds) followed by lunch at 1pm. For catering purposes, please give apologies to Cilbie or John:
