Pentecost Praise - 19 May


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.

Share the joy of Christmas with older people

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

Bradford Ukelele Group ‘Splinters’

I had heard from a friend who had seen them that this ukulele group might be suitable to entertain our Luncheon Club at St Andrew’s. Arrangements were made for them to come but, unfortunately, due to a heavy snowfall, we had to cancel their visit. We decided to invite them again, through the Ladies Fellowship and open it up to all who wanted to attend an evening concert. Tickets were sold, help pledged and cakes promised, as we were assured that cake helped the musicians to perform at their best! They were such a lovely, friendly group of people and we just sensed that we were going to enjoy a really good night. Some 50 people turned up to support, which helped to create a great atmosphere. We were given songbooks (and percussion instruments!) so that we could join in and also make requests for our favourite songs from their list. It was such an uplifting, joyful, fun evening with songs old and new, many bringing memories from the not-too-distant past. Everyone put aside...
