Volunteers needed for Wrose lunch club

Wrose MethodistChurch, Thornacre Road, Wrose, Shipley, BD18 1JY

CAN YOU HELP PLEASE?

We run a Lunch Club at Wrose Methodist Church weekly on every Wednesday. Due to unforeseen circumstances, after Christmas we urgently need a volunteer to cook the meals in our well-appointed kitchen, with the help of other volunteers. If you are enthusiastic about cooking and love to feed a good number of people, then this might just be what you’re looking for!

The job entails planning menus for each week, buying the ingredients the day before (quantity dependent upon numbers booking a lunch) and cooking a main course and a dessert on the Wednesday morning. Numbers attending range between 15 and 22. Lunch is served between 12 noon and 1 p.m. We are willing to discuss expenses if a volunteer has to travel any distance.

We also require volunteers to help in the kitchen, and generally with the setting up of the tables, putting out crockery and cutlery, etc. and serving the meals.

If more than one volunteer were to come forward, for either job, then a rota could be organised so that the commitment would only be fortnightly etc. if weekly is too much. So please don’t hesitate to let us know if you can offer anything at all!

We would be really grateful if you could help us, as we consider the Lunch Club to be an important service to the elderly in Wrose, offering a friendly atmosphere, good quality food at a reasonable price, interesting people to talk to and various activities throughout the year.

If you can see your way clear to volunteering – if only for once a month! – then please contact us - wrose@bradfordnorth.org.uk

Thank you.

May message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...

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
