Time Out

By
I have been privileged and lucky to work for TIME OUT which was originally called The Elderly Sitting Service until the revenue became involved.

I am now in my 25th year sitting with and helping elderly men.  Over the years I have met some wonderful people and enjoyed every minute of looking after sick gentlemen.  One of my recent clients was blind and also had both legs amputated.  He was a real gentleman who never complained about his disability.  He was a Christian of the highest order and set an example to us all who find ourselves complaining about something and nothing.

Please pray for the people whoa re housebound who are looked after for a few hours a week by TIME OUT.  It is a wonderful service in Bradford.  If you know anyone who may need this kind of help, contact TIME.

Share the joy of Christmas with older people

By
The most important Christmas Card you’ll send this year Methodist Homes (MHA) are asking YOUR CHURCH to share the joy of Christmas with older people this year.  Could you take the time to write just one extra Christmas card which will be passed to an older person cared for by MHA?  To take part, please refer to the further  details and an order form . Instructions of how to take part, as well as special Christmas cards designed by an MHA resident for your church members to write their own messages of goodwill and friendship, are included in the Christmas Friendship Appeal pack. “May I express my gratitude for your lovely idea of asking folk (including children) to send Christmas cards. We appreciate the warmth and concern of the whole idea.”  MHA Resident

Once again our food providers at St Christopher's did us proud. The word DIET was banned for these three days. The fresh cream trifle was to die for. We also care for our helpers!
