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.

My name is Claire Nott: I’m a local preacher on trial in the circuit and one of the lay pastors at Baildon Methodist Church. The anthem you heard at the start was Samuel Wesley’s ‘Lead me Lord’, based on Psalm 5 verse 8. Our call to worship is a selection of other verses taken from the same psalm: I pray to you, O  Lord ; 3      you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer [ b ]     and wait for your answer. all who find safety in you will rejoice;     they can always sing for joy. Protect those who love you;     because of you they are truly happy ...

Sunday July 6th - what a great day! 17 new members welcomed at Baildon MC in the morning - I pray that they will continue to sparkle as God's lovely people! Tea with the folk at Crag Road Methodist Church a happy time, around the table in the 'back room', where on Fridays hospitality is extended at the Drop In. Two inspiring memories to take with me!

Listen carefully..... Reflections of a duty minister

By
One of the joys of ministry is the diverse and rich range of conversations one has during a week. Over the last seven days I’ve spoken to someone just back from visiting Pakistan, and another person who hasn’t stepped outside her home in months. I’ve talked with an elderly lady in preparation for her husband’s funeral, and a young mum preparing for her daughter’s baptism, both conversations evidencing the complexity of human relationships. I’ve been part of a meeting considering the future of a church which meets in a listed building and is struggling to fund the maintenance, and in another heard of a new fellowship forming around a kitchen table. I’ve visited a lady in hospital showing great courage in the face of a scary diagnosis, and a gentleman whose fortitude in the light of major disability is amazing. Today I’m going around the shops local to one of our churches, taking the church’s offer to pray for the concerns of shopkeepers and customers, and later will...
