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.

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 ...
