An invitation for the Bank Holiday!

Many of you will know Malham, with its tarn and cove, indeed will have walked up there for many years. Malham Methodist Chapel is right next to the National Parks Visitor Centre, a really strategic setting. The local congregation is faithful but small, and for the mission there to be developed they need help.

The late May Bank Holiday weekend sees the ‘Malham Safari’, an annual event where the whole village works together, putting on all sorts of activities and raising lots of money for local charities (the Chapel being a significant beneficiary). With their small numbers, the chapel folk have concentrated in recent years on contributing to the catering rota and baking, but last year, with Deacon Maggie Patchett’s and my support, they opened up the chapel itself with some storytelling. This year we would like to build on this with more activity and more hours open. The theme of the safari this year is a ‘Children’s books themed animal trail’, so there’s plenty of scope…So to the invitation:-

Would you be able to help, for a couple of hours, a half day, whatever fits, help us welcome the many visitors with hospitality? Maybe you could tell stories, (I think we’re focussing on Beatrix Potter and Roald Dahl) do crafts, play music? Or simply be a welcoming face?

The safari is from Saturday 28^th May – Weds 1^st June, but I am particularly trying to cover the Sat, Sun and Monday. I will be going up those days, so could offer a lift.

We are looking to set up a ‘Friends of Malham’ – if you’re interested in knowing more get in touch. And please hold the Malham few, and the Skipton & Grassington Circuit, in your prayers as they seek to discern God’s plans for Malham.

Message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends By the time you read this, we will already be a month through this new year. Where does the time go? It really does seem to go by ever more quickly, as each year passes. For children who have returned to school after the Christmas and New Year break, next Christmas will seem an age away. When I started secondary school, I couldn’t imagine getting to the end of school at 18. I worked out that I would be 35 at the turn of the century, but that seemed impossibly far away. So what makes time seem to pass quickly? After all, each week is made up of seven days and each day has 24 hours, whatever our age or stage in life. Responsibilities play a part: there are things we need to do at certain times, and any deadline always makes us aware of time ticking away as we approach it. We accrue responsibilities as we grow older and take on more senior positions at work, or have a family to look after. At church, we ta

Bradford Youth Fellowship Group

The fellowship group is a great way for the youth of the church to get together, share what they believe and discuss what Christianity as a whole teaches us. It's a place where we are all fully comfortable to be ourselves, share our opinions and know we won't be judged by others. The fact that the fellowship group is currently running as a combination of both North and South Bradford has allowed us to meet new people, make new friends, have a good laugh, all at the same time as learning from each other. It's also a good place to go to when things are getting tough in life as we're likely to talk about matters and issues that are personal and relevant to our age group. There's been numerous times when I have walked in with an issue on my mind and leave with an action plan or new perspective on how to tackle the issue. I feel the way that we ease into every session rather than diving straight into the deep
