Now for something really simple ...

Under the guidance of a baker of 52 years experience, John Anderson, whose record is 76 000 rolls made in one night, and who has been making bread, on and off, (mostly off) since 1959, join us in making your own loaf. After all the jollities, fripperies and trimmings of Christmas, I am inviting anyone in the Circuit to come and take part in a simple and fulfilling act of worship – making bread. For the evening worship at Baildon Methodist Church Hall on Sunday 30 December we shall handle and discuss, mix and meditate on, all the ingredients of bread: for example, the oil will come from Palestine, the yeast and salt will remind us of the words of Jesus. We shall make and bake bread; then eat it with some delicious home-made jam. This cannot be done in less than three hours and so the service will start at four o'clock.

When I last took such a service, many people said what a good idea it was and they were very interested in coming. A dark December afternoon should be an ideal time for such a warm Circuit fellowship activity.

I need to have at least ten participants to make opening up the kitchen worthwhile. If ten people or more do not say they will come, I shall lead ordinary evening worship at 1800.

Do join us. I can promise you an enlightening experience. Let us worship God in a new way.

PLEASE EMAIL OR RING ME NOW, OR AT THE LATEST BEFORE SUNDAY 23 DECEMBER, IF YOU WISH TO TAKE PART. PRE-BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL

Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank

An article in the March Link stated that, after April, the foodbank operated by the Light Church will limit its service to postcodes which extend into the centre of Bradford. However, there is a food bank which provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and surrounding areas. The following is an account of this bank; I am indebted to Keith Thomson, a member of the committee, for this information. Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank is the original food bank in Bradford. It opened in 2004, as an extension of the Curry Project for rough sleepers, started by Lashman Singh. It provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and collects food from the same area. It is non-sectarian, supporting people of all faiths and none, and the volunteers are from all sections of the diverse Bradford community. The main committee, the original seven and up to fifty volunteers are just that. We are all volunteers and no-one is paid. We never see the people and families that...

Virtual Worship - 6 June 2021

Parables for Bradford - Week 1 Service Sheet (pdf) Opening Prayers: O God of all, lead us from death to life, from falsehood to truth. Lead us from despair to hope, from fear to trust. Lead us from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe. Amen . Peace to the nations, to east and to west. Peace to our neighbours, to rich and to poor. Peace to all races, all women, all men. The peace of Christ above all peace. The peace of the Prince of peace, to you and to me. Amen. Song STF 262 All glory, laud, and honour. Address: Mark 4. 34 tells us that Jesus did not speak to the crowds unless he used parables. Matthew 7:28 tells us “ Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching. ” In the gospels, there are at least 9 verses like this, where we hear that the Crowds were astounded at Jesus’s teaching. Much of his teaching was in Parables. In the next few weeks, we will be looking at some of his Parables, ...
