Street Angels Leeds has been running for more than a year! We've had some great times of being able to practically, emotionally and spiritually be part of the city at night – and we want to do more of it! To develop the work we're looking at developing the team – and we'd love more volunteers to step forward to be part of this very simple way of loving the city.

Leeds (South and Central) CircuitOn 1st September 2013, Oxford Place Methodist Church and the six churches of Leeds South Circuit will join together to form a new circuit to be known as Leeds (South and Central) Circuit. We have been working towards the creation of this new circuit for most of 2012, but there is still much to do during 2013. As well being a church in the new circuit, the Oxford Place Church will no longer have responsibility for the Oxford Place Centre. The people of the Oxford Place Church will continue to worship in the Oxford Place Centre on Sundays, but the mission work during the other six days of the week will become, along with the management of the building, the responsibilty of a new project of the Leeds Methodist District with a new Management Committee. This does not mean that the people of Oxford Place Church will not be involved with city centre mission, rather it is hoped that, by being relieved of the demands of the management of the building, they will work with the new project to further God's purpose in the city centre with renewed energy. Until September we are in a transition phase working with an Interim Management Committee that is anticipating the new Management Committee. This Interim Management Committee also acts as the Circuit Meeting of the present Leeds Mission Circuit until it ceases to exist when the new circuit is formed. From 1st January 2013 the two circuits will operat a joint preaching plan. Deacon Jenny Jones
On the afternoon of Sunday 17th June we held a special service – a service of celebration at which Deacon Jenny Jones gave her testimony prior to being ordained as a Deacon on the 1st July as part of the Methodist Conference. During the same service Jenny was admitted to the office of Local Preacher of the Methodist Church. (Jenny is pictured with her husband Ali who preached the sermon.)
Our service was preceded by lunch and at the service there was hardly an empty seat.
In the congregation were family and friends, and many of those with whom Jenny has
worked during her time in Leeds, as well as representatives of other churches.
This was an opportunity for all to celebrate these two significant events in
Jenny's life and to wish her well and ensure her of our prayers for the future.
As part of the service Jenny was present with a bowl and a towel symbolising
the servant ministry of deacons and recalling the occasion when Jesus
took a towel and a bowl of water and washed the feet of his disciples. A day of celebrationIn our Sunday morning service on 4th March 2012 six adults and two young brothers were baptised. The six adults along with another two members of our congregation were confirmed and brought into the membership of the Methodist Church.
Our worship that morning was full of fun and celebration. Jugs of water were liberally poured and there was excitement among young and old. During Holy Communion we were treated to the singing of the Revd Gerry Thompson who was worshipping with us, and after the service we all gathered in our café for cake and coffee.

Worshipping Together
The congregation from Leeds St Peter's (Leeds Parish Church) and from St Mary's in Lincoln Green joined the congregation at Oxford Place for morning worship on Sunday 22nd January 2012 in the middle of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The worship took the form of a Covenant Service led by the Revd Adrian Burdon (Superintendent of the Leeds Methodist Mission), the preacher was the Revd Sue Wallace (Vicar at Leeds Parish Church) and Holy Communion was celebrated by the Revd Tony Bundock (Rector of Leeds Parish Church). After the service the congregation shared a buffet lunch.

As we are a relatively small congregation, the continuance of this ministry depends upon the support of volunteers from throughout the district. Please help us to maintain a Methodist presence in Leeds City Centre. We can accept offers of any amount of time – a day per week, or perhaps every couple of weeks, or even monthly.
