HEATON CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL
                            
Members of Haworth Road Church were invited by St. Barnabas Church, Heaton to join in their Christmas Tree Festival and decorate one of the trees.

We accepted their invitation and were delighted to be part of a local community event.  There were around 30 trees, all with lights provided. These were decorated by local churches, schools, businesses and individual families. (Our tree is the second from the left!!)



On Advent Sunday evening an Ecumenical and Community Carol Service was held. This was a fitting and moving way to end their Celebration Weekend and the trees remained in the Church until 4th January.

‘INN CHURCHES’ PROJECT FOR THE HOMELESS

We have also been involved in this project, which has now been extended to a wider number of churches.  St. Martin’s was the venue for our area, for the week 12th -19th January and we provided a team on the Friday evening to make, and serve a hot meal and befriend the guests.  This was a very moving and challenging experience for us all.

April message from the Ministry Team

By
As April begins, we are still in the season of Lent, but at least some of our thoughts will be turning towards Easter - celebration of resurrection, preparations for school holidays, the reintroduction of presently-denied treats.  In the meantime, are we using well the opportunities the season of Lent affords us: a time to pause and reflect upon what the Lord wants from us, a time for listening to His voice and seeking His will?  If you have been in one of my services over recent months, you will have heard me quote from Philippians 1:6 ‘He who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’.  The day we go to be with Jesus or the day of his return, whichever comes first.  None of us, whether young or old, chronologically or spiritually, is beyond His call.  What is God calling us to?  Maybe it is to come to faith in Him.  Maybe He is calling you to a new area of service, to take up new responsibilities, to ...
