Dear friends,

You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at Bradford Academy that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation can develop between the two cities.

Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future.

There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.
 
Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward:

We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the youth strand HOPE Revolution. There will be testimonies from people who took part in the recent pilot mission and an opportunity to discuss how we move forward together.

The address for our time together is Bradford Academy, Lister Avenue, BD4 7QJ. Please drive to the Lister Avenue school gate entrance and use the school car park provided. For sat nav users please use Lister Avenue instead of the post code as we found that some sat navs do not necessarily get you to the right entrance.

Please RSVP to this letter indicating whether you or a representative will be attending our time together at Bradford Academy on Wednesday 21st November at 7pm - 9:30pm by using  the following contacts:-

May message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...
