ECG 2012 - 10-15 April Scarborough Spa



ECG  2012 - 10-15 April - Scarborough Spa

This year we are looking at the theme of 'Journey'.  I don't know about you but when I go on a journey I am always really excited about getting to the place I am going to and sometimes miss out on the journey itself.  This year at ECG we are going to take time to stop and reflect and to look around us at what God is doing in this moment in our lives and our communities - Taking time to listen, look, feel and experience the work and movement of the Spirit in the present age!  Jesus was clear about the tension we must hold between the destination of the Journey and taking time with the people along the way.  The journey has a conclusion - heaven, but the journey towards can be an exciting and vibrant one.  Together lets be refilled, refuelled and reenergised for the journey God has called us to.

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

Dear friends, You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at  Bradford Academy  that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further  Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation  can develop between the two cities. Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.   Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...

July message from Rev Phil

Dear Friends,      The Methodist Church makes provision for its ministers to take a three-month sabbatical break from the routine of ministry every seven years – this year, in my case! By the time you read this letter, I will have already started my sabbatical and I will be absent from the circuit from mid-May to mid-August.     This is not an extended holiday but an opening to do something different, as a way of being refreshed in ministry; an opportunity to ‘power down’ and to get away from a hectic, diary-driven ministry, in order to spend more focused time with God. It is a requirement and not an option for ministers to take their sabbatical break.     There have been two main aspects to consider in planning the sabbatical. The first has been to decide how I should use the time. For your interest, I am pressing on with studies begun through Leeds University (which could lead to the award of a PhD), reflecting on my wor...
