We are sad that Sharon is leaving ....

Sharon, our Children's Work Enabler, left the Circuit at the end of March ...

“Arriving at the first meeting of Sharon's support group, 8 years ago, little did I know I was stepping in to the path of a whirlwind! A whirlwind that would bring Jesus into the lives of so many children, firstly in the Woodhouse Grove circuit and then in the Bradford North circuit. The whirlwind that was Sharon! God bless Sharon.”  Rodney, Calverley.

“Hi Sharon ,
This is the Naughty boy !!! from Crag Road. But today, for you, I am trying to be good. From Crag Road Methodist Church and High Crag Primary School, we give you our ‘Thanks’ for all the help and inspiration you have given us over the past few years. We all wish you the very best for the future, in whatever path you take. Every blessing.” David, Crag Road

Sharon knows that Saltaire Methodist Church is going into Saltaire Primary School again this year. This work started with Sharon offering to lead a day based on Noah's Ark to our local primary school. She did this and we've continued annually since. This will be our fourth year. We'd never have thought of it, so though it has been modified over the years, without Sharon it would never have happened!” Ann, Saltaire

 “Two words to sum up Sharon's work at St Andrew's - ABOUT THIS.
Whenever I needed an extra idea, 'How ABOUT THIS?'
Whenever we needed an extra hand 'What ABOUT THIS?' and points to herself.
Whenever I was going astray 'but what ABOUT THIS?'
Our 'ABOUT THIS' will greatly be missed. Debbie, St Andrew’s

“Sharon is ray of sunshine coming into our church. It is always a joy to have her with us and to share her joy in Jesus.” Chris T, Thackley

More next month!

Circuit Talents Challenge

"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 ..."
