Out of the starting blocks - All Together

Out of the starting blocks

The first All Together event took place at Northcliffe on the afternoon of Sunday 1 July. All Together is aimed at bringing together people with learning disabilities, their families and carers in a service to which everyone is invited.

The planning team was made up of individuals from different churches from the Bradford North Circuit and the Shipley Christians Together.

The service was conducted with the forthcoming Olympic Games in mind. A real Olympic torch bearer - with torch, of course - made a surprise appearance, and we focussed on Paul's words in Philippians about running straight for the finishing line. Games, craft activities and singing with signing were all offered as activity workshops and the afternoon finished with a shared tea.

About sixty people were present to enjoy the event. The next afternoon is being planned for Sunday 30 September on a harvest theme.

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
