Marion Boase - Memorial Service

We learnt, with sadness, early last week that Marion Boase, a local preacher who was accredited in the Woodhouse Grove circuit, and went south to live with her daughter a few years ago, as her health was failing, died on 26 January.

Marion’s funeral took place in the south of England on Monday 3 February, but it was her wish that a memorial service be held in Bradford, where she grew up and had spent most of her life. This has now been arranged and it will be led by Nick Blundell, with input from Martin Bashforth, at St Andrew’s on Sunday 16 February at 12.30 pm. All local preachers and church members who knew Marion are invited to remember her at this special service.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Marion's daughter, family and friends.

The aim is to gather the names of Christians who work in Bradford and, later in the year, invite you to meet in work-related groups. e.g. Education etc... This is to allow you to share with others how you are and what encouragements ...

Prayer Column: June 2013

Yes, but how much, and how many? Does it make any difference how many pray, or is just one enough? And is one prayer enough, or should we pester God till we get what we want? Prayer can start with one, and if you’re on your own that’s all you can do (e.g., Acts 9:11), but groups can often pray better together. The Lord’s prayer begins ‘ Our Father; He spoke of gatherings of at least two or three; and the early church prayed together (Mt 6:9; 18:20; Acts 1:14; 4:24; 12:12). Groups encourage, strengthen, help cover all the bases, find agreement. And there’s something helpful about meeting regularly too. Prayer isn’t just about getting what we want: Not my will, but yours..., Jesus prayed – having asked three of his disciple to watch with him (Mt 26:39). And we’re promised answers to prayers ‘in Jesus’ name’, with faith that what we ask is actually God’s will (Mt 21:22; Jn 14:13). As for how long we should pray, Jesus encourages pe...
