District Synod at Woodhouse Grove School Saturday 6 September

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.

Share the joy of Christmas with older people

The most important Christmas Card you’ll send this year Methodist Homes (MHA) are asking YOUR CHURCH to share the joy of Christmas with older people this year. Could you take the time to write just one extra Christmas card which will be passed to an older person cared for by MHA? To take part, please refer to the further details and an order form . Instructions of how to take part, as well as special Christmas cards designed by an MHA resident for your church members to write their own messages of goodwill and friendship, are included in the Christmas Friendship Appeal pack. “May I express my gratitude for your lovely idea of asking folk (including children) to send Christmas cards. We appreciate the warmth and concern of the whole idea.” MHA Resident
