‘How is business?’ is a question frequently asked by our customers. And our response is, ‘It’s tough but we are still here!’ These are challenging times for all booksellers and whilst the work continues to be hard, we are learning new and creative ways of working and are excited by the future.

External work
Over the last two years Cornerstone has developed important partnerships with denominational networks, Christian organisations, schools and local churches. Regular customers know only too well the sight of boxes piling up in the corner of our coffee shop waiting to be delivered, collected or taken out to conferences.

External work is becoming a crucial part of our business, as is the selling of Christian books through our local
churches Bookshop-in-a-Box scheme. Internal development With the decline of Christian bookshops across the North people are travelling further to shop with us. Our website plays a crucial role in making us known and customers tell us they still like to see before they buy. We are encouraged by this trend and have important plans for internal development in 2014:

 Expanding our best sellers i.e. Bibles
 Making biography and fiction titles more accessible to customers downstairs
 Developing an upstairs room into a brand new loan Resources Centre for opening in the Autumn.
 Recruiting more volunteers to join the coffee shop team

There are lots of opportunities to get involved at Cornerstone.

Do speak with us if you would like to know more about volunteering.

Methodist Women in Britain

By
Ladies of the Bradford North Circuit, welcome to an introduction to MWiB! Methodist Women in Britain is a movement within the Methodist Church, which seeks to resource individual women and women's groups in a variety of ways. It came into being in July 2011, formed through the coming together of Women's Network and other women's meetings within Methodism. MWiB is more than a meeting. Many women may feel that it is not for them, because they do not already attend a women's meeting. The movement is there for ALL women in Methodism. There are opportunities for meetings within circuits, and at District and Connexional levels, which are all held on a regular basis. MWiB seeks to offer a broader menu for women today.

A ‘Family Focus’ leaflet, updated seasonally, was produced listing all activities and events available at Baildon Methodist Church for children and young families. Events during the year included a harvest supper and entertainment, a Gilbert & Sullivan evening, a comedy night, a Church Anniversary social, Action For Children Christmas Fayre and concerts by Village Voices, Aire Valley Male Voice choir and Woodhouse Grove School.
