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.

We never seem to talk about Monday to Friday. Work may be stressing me out and there is no one to share this with. Work may be brilliant and there is no one to share that with. How do we find being a Christian within a secular work environment? Do we feel isolated, or pressured, or encouraged? Prayer for Bradford wants to help and support you, where you are.

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 ...

Bringing the Undercliffe community together

On the 16th May, after a lot of organising and prayer, Undercliffe Community Day arrived at St Andrew’s Methodist Church and what a response we received. The idea evolved from wanting to support groups who used our premises and to show the community that we care. Therefore the aim of the day was for the community to find out information and services available in Undercliffe in a fun, informative and free way. It certainly was fun. Amazingly we had around 300 people call in to see what was on offer and the majority of them went away with smiles on their faces regardless of age. Stalls offered support, advice, freebies and information. Demonstrations included dance, music and stories. Everyone received a free raffle ticket for prizes donated by local shops. The children had plenty to do including free face painting, a bouncy castle, crafts and a browse around the fire engine. To many people the offer of free refreshments, provided by the church, was a big surprise and...
