Today we celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost by being anointed with oil as a symbol of receiving the Holy Spirit and a few of us dressed in red to remember the fire of the Spirit! Happy Pentecost 🔥

This morning was the first time our youth band led worship at church and they all did an amazing job! 🎉 Bex, Beverly and Jo led the service where we thought about the Holy Spirit as our helper as we build the kingdom of God here on earth.

Our prayers today are with our Jewish friends and neighbours here in Alwoodley and across the country as the Jewish community in the UK faces another horrific terrorist attack. We pray for an end to all forms of anti-Semitism and for for all our communities to be able to live, worship and flourish in peace.

Following the attack in Golders Green, the bishops of the Diocese of Leeds sent a message of solidarity to the Jewish community across the diocese and beyond.

It was wonderful to welcome the Archbishop of York to St Barnabas’ today. Archbishop Stephen spent some time meeting with some of our Hong Kong community at church before sharing in lunch and teaching on prayer to some of the curates from our diocese.
