Dear Friends in other churches,

Plans for Improving the Buildings at Baildon Methodist Church

We would like to share with you our aspirations with respect to our premises over the next 10 years. We value you as our neighbours and we would like to afford you an opportunity to view these aspirations and in particular give you an opportunity to provide any comments on any concerns you may have.

Our Ideas are:
  • Marley Hut: We need to replace the very "elderly" Marley Hut which currently houses the Baildon Pre-School.  The new building would be a 2 storey, environmentally sustainable building and would provide an additional meeting space which we need for children and young people.  The Ground Floor of the new building would contain the Pre-School just like at present; the Upper Floor would provide space for uniformed organisations for which we have waiting lists and groups that we are unable to accommodate at present;
  • Wesleys Cafe: We need to improve Wesleys Cafe to bring it up to modern-day standards and provide a more suitable environment for customers of the cafe who are often cramped;
  • Newton Way Entrance: We need to reconfigure the ramp at the Newton Way entrance to the building and we would take this opportunity to enhance the visual amenity of this elevation;

We do intend to make a formal Planning Application in the near future, at which time you would be able to make formal comments about the plans however, just now, we would like to give you an opportunity to find out more about what we are proposing and let us know your views.  We therefore invite you to call in to Wesleys Cafe from Sunday 19th May for two weeks to view the plans any time we are open, usually between 10:00am and 3:00pm during the week and Saturday mornings.  You might even like to join us for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

A comments box will be available for you to use or you could even make comment online or directly by e-Mail to laypastor@baildonmethodists.org.

We welcome your thoughts and ideas about our plans and would be delighted to hear from you if you have thoughts about potential future partnerships and ways in which we can work together with other organisations to strengthen our contribution to community life of Baildon.

With kindest regards,

Dr Mervyn Flecknoe  Lay Pastor for Baildon Methodist Church

By
For such times as these! (Esther 14:14) On June 1st James Stannet (from e:merge , a Christian Youth organisation) began his youth work for Christchurch LEP in Windhill. He says, "Well! June has been a really busy but very productive month. On Wednesday, in the park, numbers are climbing week by week, now averaging 25. Good partnerships have been made with local organisations. this has been a blessing: enabling us to deliver varied sport activities and build good relationships.'

Circuit Talents Challenge

By
"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money ..." Matthew 25:14-30 Why don't you take up the Circuit Talents Challenge by taking a £5 note and making it grow for the Circuit? More details ...
