A nice morning welcoming @CottrellStephen to @CryptLeeds & @Lighthouse__WY

The @LeedsCofE are celebrating their 10th Birthday today. As part of his visit he joined us for a Lighthouse style church service, chatted to our community and found out about the work of the Crypt.

Well done @Lighthouse__WY for 10 years Service to #Leeds involving discipleship, pastoral care, prayer and many different forms of advocacy to help vulnerable people.

Words from Katie Boyes - ‘You guys have taught me so much about the king and kingdom’

Wonderful to celebrate 10 years of Lighthouse in Leeds at a special service. “Where God’s love is, change happens.”

It may be cold outside but Lighthouse today was full of warmth, peace and joy.

We laughed together, sang, prayed and encountered afresh the healing love of Jesus.

Thank you Charlene for making a stable for baby Jesus @HorsforthShed .

Rev’d Andy Muckle, @CryptLeeds , was delighted to receive this special christmas gift.

Each Monday, we run Harbour:

A family-feel day center full of fun.

A safe space.

A place to chill, relax, and get creative.

A place to play, laugh, sing, dance, and eat together.

A gathering which concludes with an opportunity to share, a scripture and a prayer.

Blessed.

Love looks like something.

This week it looked like a Lighthouse fam. Christmas trip to York.

Thank you to all our supporters who made this possible and also special thanks to @York_Minster , St Olaves and the train museum.

Love looks like something.

Today it looked like homevisits, social care referrals, cooking club, a safe space, liaison with emergency services, dancing, laughter, games, bible study, prayer and healing workshops.

Hi @rendcollective Bit of a cheeky ask.

I see your coming to Leeds. I head up a church for vulnerable adults called @Lighthouse__WY that meets in a homeless shelter called @CryptLeeds

Wondered if you could come and sing for us or give us some free tickets for your concert.

[Lighthouse WY @Lighthouse__WY]

Well Done C! This is cracking #horsforthshed

[Lighthouse WY @Lighthouse__WY]

Good to have @SurfingSofas with us yesterday for a poetry workshop.

Words matter, they can articulate pain and joy, and offer a pathway to healing and hope!
