Pentecost Praise
The Christian Church throughout the city coming together to worship, celebrate and proclaim the Good News.

There is growing excitement throughout Bradford’s churches at the suggestion that we all come together on Pentecost Sunday 19th May in the City Park (3 – 6pm).The plan is to stage a colourful, welcoming and very joyful event. Things will start gradually in the afternoon with music, street entertainment, face-painting, café, arts and crafts and lots of conversations etc. At tea-time, we all sit down for a grand picnic, and then the day comes to a climax with worship, prayer and proclamation (5 – 6pm).

We want to create an event that Christians will find both enjoyable and deeply significant - one that we can invite friends to and that will engage with the passing public. We want to bring a warm, buzzing and welcoming Christian experience into the heart of the city.
Pentecost Praise is about
·       Unity
·       Empowerment
·       Praying for the City
·       Proclaiming Jesus
It is going to be brilliant!
To make it happen we need lots of churches bringing lots of people. Do please come and join us.

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

By
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 y...

July message from Rev Phil

By
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...
