Our garden fete has become an indoor fete… But you’d still be very welcome! We’re open from 2pm until 4pm. Come and visit ‘Batley’s Cathedral’!

Two of our congregation are hard at work stripping our front doors. Some parts of the door have seven layers of paint, so this is the first time they have been refurbished since they were installed! We hope to have them repainted in time for our Garden Party on 1 July at 2pm.

Most churches can see the needs of their community, but sometimes it’s hard to know what to do & how to start. @WellspringsT and @LeedsCofE Barnabas are providing specialist advice, knowledge & experience in community action. Free conference on 14 June: buff.ly/40EVR75

#MorningPrayer Grant us, Lord, as this day we celebrate your ascension, to rejoice in your resurrection and the new life you give us in your great love. Encourage and enable our prayer; keep us ever open to you, that we may be filled with your Spirit and shine your light for all.

Thanks to all who came along - for all your kind words, cards and presents. I’m overwhelmed my your love and appreciate your kindness. Sabbatical here I come! May God bless you all lots. 2/2

That’s a wrap #Batley! Lovely to see so many folk for my final service after 8 & a half years. I’m so excited to be moving to churches in Rothwell, Lofthouse, Oulton & Methley. A hugely emotional morning- so many special words, memories, conversations & worship. together. 1/2

Lovely service @StThomasBatley as we @FOBS_Batley bade farewell to our fellow FOBSian & wonderful friend @MarkUmpl as he moves to his new parish.Thank you Mark! We will miss you! We gave him seeds from our station garden to plant in his new garden!🤗

So it’s farewell to # Batley tomorrow - I will miss this view from home each day! I would love to be able to say farewell if you can come along tomorrow (Sunday) at 11am to @StThomasBatley farewell service and lunch. All our 4 churches together of @BeneficeBatley ❤️🙏
