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.

Virtual Worship - 3 April 2022

A Methodist Way of Life - April 2022 - Praying Daily Service sheet (pdf) Start by listening to ‘Lead me Lord’:  Hello and welcome to the Bradford North worship video for April, the first of 12 services focusing on the commitments contained within the Methodist Way of Life and introduced by Rev David Goodall in last month’s video. My name is Claire Nott: I’m a local preacher on trial in the circuit and one of the lay pastors at Baildon Methodist Church. The anthem you heard at the start was Samuel Wesley’s ‘Lead me Lord’, based on Psalm 5 verse 8. Our call to worship is a selection of other verses taken from the same psalm: I pray to you, O  Lord ; 3      you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer [ b ]     and wait for your answer. all who find safety in you will rejoice;     they can always sing for joy. Protect those who love you;     because of you they are truly happy ...
