HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

hope logos
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:-

Biblefresh Festival 11 June 2011 - bookings now open

Bradford North and South Circuits invite you to their city-wide Biblefresh Festival Saturday 11 June 2011 Full details and booking form

July message from Rev Phil

Dear Friends,      The Methodist Church makes provision for its ministers to take a three-month sabbatical break from the routine of ministry every seven years – this year, in my case! By the time you read this letter, I will have already started my sabbatical and I will be absent from the circuit from mid-May to mid-August.     This is not an extended holiday but an opening to do something different, as a way of being refreshed in ministry; an opportunity to ‘power down’ and to get away from a hectic, diary-driven ministry, in order to spend more focused time with God. It is a requirement and not an option for ministers to take their sabbatical break.     There have been two main aspects to consider in planning the sabbatical. The first has been to decide how I should use the time. For your interest, I am pressing on with studies begun through Leeds University (which could lead to the award of a PhD), reflecting on my wor...
