St Edmund's Church, Roundhay

Our wonderful curate @ClaireCorley201 is tweeting as @OurCofELike this week. She's on secondment to @stjohnswortley currently. Check out what Claire has been up to so far this week.

We're really excited to launch our podcast! Search for 'St Edmund's Roundhay' on your podcast app of choice and have a listen. We're starting with a series on Spiritual Disciplines. New episodes will be published every Wednesday. Have a listen and let us know what you think!

Have a read of our weekly news sheet with information about all that's going on in the life of St Ed's during this time.

Although we can't gather together on a Sunday, you can still have a read of the newsheet!

We've been offering a reflection each evening as we say night prayer. If you've not been able to watch along with us, you can read the reflections over at our blog stedmundseaster.wordpress.com

Throughout this Holy Week and beyond we're going to be blogging the short reflections from the evening services. If you want to read what's being said, head to stedmundseaster.wordpress.com

"In your mercy, defend us from all perils & dangers of the night" Praying for all those working throughout the night, for those awake with anxious thoughts, and for those dreaming of a brighter tomorrow. #compline #Prayers

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Could you make a palm cross at home? Join in with us as we worship as a dispersed community. buff.ly/39BOzWX

In light of the recent advice from the Church of England we are no longer able to hold public acts of worship, however there are many ways that we can still connect.  We’re going to be live streaming prayer and worship as well as providing lots of different resources.

We're still gathering this Sunday as usual to worship and pray at 8am, 10am and 6:30pm. We'd love to see you at any one of these services.

Love a good quiz? Come and join us next Friday for our annual quiz night. Challenging questions, tasty samosas, lots of laughter. We'd love to see you at 7pm on 20th March.

After the amazing success of the last one, we're super excited for our next youth-led Prayer and Praise service taking place this Sunday evening. Come along and hear some inspiring teaching, meet God in worship and spend time in prayer. We'd love to see you at 6:30pm.

What are you giving up this lent? What are you going to take up?

We're encouraging everyone to join in with the Church of England's #LiveLent campaign. This is all about caring for God's creation. You can sign up for daily emails, or download the app here. buff.ly/32nOwfm

Lent starts this Wednesday. We're marking this with an Ash Wednesday service at 11am and 7:30pm. Lent is often a chance for self-reflection. Some people give something up, some people take something up.
