‘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.

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

Dear friends, You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at  Bradford Academy  that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further  Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation  can develop between the two cities. Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.   Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...

Virtual Worship - 27 June 2021

Parables for Bradford - Week 4 Offering God’s hand of friendship Service Sheet (pdf) Welcome Imagine a love seat with just you and God sitting there. On the table is your Bible and the freshest , thirst-quenching summer drink. Come and worship God, relax with Him. All are welcome: if you are sorted or in a mess, feeling like it or anxious, come and worship God who holds you so lovingly in the palm of His hand. He invites each one of us, see His smile and His kind eyes welcoming you to worship Him. He enjoys our presence sitting beside Him. He befriends each of us with His love.  Let’s sing about that friendship and love now…. Song Hymn 88 STF: Praise to the Lord , the Almighty Opening Prayers Father God, we thank you for summer skies, that hold the sun, moon and stars, that give life and strength to summer. We thank you that you are our Creator God. As we gaze up and imagine where heaven is we thank you Father that you are a safe place of refuge, an oasis of rest and peace. We...

July message from Rev Phil

Dear Friends,      The Methodist Church makes provision for its ministers to take a three-month sabbatical break from the routine of ministry every seven years – this year, in my case! By the time you read this letter, I will have already started my sabbatical and I will be absent from the circuit from mid-May to mid-August.     This is not an extended holiday but an opening to do something different, as a way of being refreshed in ministry; an opportunity to ‘power down’ and to get away from a hectic, diary-driven ministry, in order to spend more focused time with God. It is a requirement and not an option for ministers to take their sabbatical break.     There have been two main aspects to consider in planning the sabbatical. The first has been to decide how I should use the time. For your interest, I am pressing on with studies begun through Leeds University (which could lead to the award of a PhD), reflecting on my wor...
