The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Judith Elliot, visited St. Michael's church on Sunday 7th March 2010. Judith began with a visit to our Sunday School where she met the children, joined in their act of worship and saw the Lenten Quilt the children are designing.
Judith then joined the congregation at St. Michael's for moring prayer. During the service Mrs Margaret Watson, a long term member of the congregation, presented the Lord Mayor with a flower basket. Councillor Elliot then joined the congregation for refreshments after the service.
This was the Lord Mayor's second visit to the church in her term of office. Her first was in July 2009 when she attended East Ardsley Flower festival which was held in St. Michael's church.

At the back of church there are plans for the re-ordering which will be going to the Diocesan cnancellor shortly for his agreement (hopefully). You will also notice that we are using the high altar to celebrate - this is because the temporary archdeacon's licence to us a nave altar has ceased. The archdeacon has asked us to investigate the purchase of a nave altar wich is more 'fitting' fro the church

A new church path was laid in January 2009. This photograph shows the path just a few days before final completion. The path has a level access to the main church door. It is now posible to enter the church without having to climb any steps. This gives good access to wheelchair users, prams and pushchairs. Further details can be found on our Newsletter page.
