District Synod at Woodhouse Grove School Saturday 6 September

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.

Senior Circuit Steward

April message from the Ministry Team

By
As April begins, we are still in the season of Lent, but at least some of our thoughts will be turning towards Easter - celebration of resurrection, preparations for school holidays, the reintroduction of presently-denied treats.  In the meantime, are we using well the opportunities the season of Lent affords us: a time to pause and reflect upon what the Lord wants from us, a time for listening to His voice and seeking His will?  If you have been in one of my services over recent months, you will have heard me quote from Philippians 1:6 ‘He who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’.  The day we go to be with Jesus or the day of his return, whichever comes first.  None of us, whether young or old, chronologically or spiritually, is beyond His call.  What is God calling us to?  Maybe it is to come to faith in Him.  Maybe He is calling you to a new area of service, to take up new responsibilities, to ...
