District Synod at Woodhouse Grove School Saturday 6 September

Image
By

District Synod is an important opportunity for the clergy and members of all the circuits in West Yorkshire District to meet together for conversation and mutual encouragement, and to be updated on changes to the governance of the Methodist Church brought in by Conference.

Synod meets twice a year, in Spring (usually May) and Autumn (usually September), and it is hosted by the circuits in rotation.

On 6 September, it is the turn of Bradford North Circuit to act as hosts, and we have booked the use of Woodhouse Grove School for the day.

Whilst the school has made its premises available, the school staff are not involved in organising and servicing Synod. That falls to the circuit.

So we are seeking volunteers to help make things run smoothly. We shall need marshals in the school grounds, to direct cars to the car park, and marshals to supervise the car park and show people how to get into the buildings. They will be needed for up to 2 hours in the morning (say from 9.00 am until 11.00).

We shall need stewards inside the school, for signposting, catering and meeting any needs which arise. These will be needed between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm.

The details of how to volunteer, and more about what is involved, will be made known during August. For now, if you are willing to help in any way, please reserve the date in your diary and await further instruction. Your help will be invaluable. In fact, without a team of volunteers, the Synod just could not happen.

Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank

By
An article in the March Link stated that, after April, the foodbank operated by the Light Church will limit its service to postcodes which extend into the centre of Bradford.  However, there is a food bank which provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and surrounding areas. The following is an account of this bank; I am indebted to Keith Thomson, a member of the committee, for this information. Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank is the original food bank in Bradford. It opened in 2004, as an extension of the Curry Project for rough sleepers, started by Lashman Singh. It provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and collects food from the same area. It is non-sectarian, supporting people of all faiths and none, and the volunteers are from all sections of the diverse Bradford community. The main committee, the original seven and up to fifty volunteers are just that. We are all volunteers and no-one is paid. We never see the people and families that...

Thornton Pantomime (Oh, No it wasn’t!)

By
Thornton Methodist Church produced a Pantomime which was given on two nights (Friday 6th & Saturday 7 th December). The Pantomime was ‘Red Riding Hood and the Magic Wood’ which was written by Sharon Pilkington. All the cast were from our Church and both shows were well attended. It was a modern version of the traditional story which had lots of audience participation and finished with a happy ending. Both the cast and the audiences had a very good time and it was great to have so many people from the village attending along with their children. Very good work by all the cast and the backroom staff too. We are already looking forward to next year’s production Geoff B, Thornton
