Leeds Scene

Beth Tash writes about the  scene…

So I started work in Leeds city-centre at the beginning of September & employed by the Church of England, with the brief of finding ways  to  connect  Christianity  &  nightlife culture…it's been a great couple of months of  seeing  what's  out  there….i  have  been mostly:

…praying,  thinking,  dreaming,  wondering about what God might want to do here

….having  great  meetings  with  the  city council, a group of landlords called 'pubwatch' and the police who are all really keen on the restart of Street Angels. We are planning for around Christmas time linking with Halifax and Headingely Street Angels.

…going  out  and  about  prayer  walking  2 nights  a  week….asking  God  to  show  us what  he  sees,  what  he  wants,  chatting  to people along the way

…hanging out in clubs & bars…meeting  workers & clubbers there, learning about their lives,  the  issues,  the hopes, their thoughts on my job, faith, God…life, the world & the universe!

…chatting with & being blessed by others who are doing some incredible work all over the UK

…reporting back in church meetings wanting to tell a few stories and see where people are at.

…some immediate ideas floating around…Club  Angels  (Street  Angels  but inside!), 24-7 prayer, Halloween prayer stuff outside….

Be  great  to  hear  from  you  if  any  of  this  sparks wisdom & ideas!
