Visit of the Bishop of Multan

West Yorkshire Methodist District is twinned with the Diocese of Multan in Pakistan. The Chair and Deputy Chair of the District have recently paid visits to the diocese, accompanied by others from the District and in early October, the Bishop of Multan, Rt Rev Leu Paul and his wife paid a return visit to the District. They were in Bradford North circuit on Wednesday 8 October, when they attended the circuit communion at Thornton and visited Haworth Road and St Andrew’s churches, after lunch at Wesley’s in Baildon.

The visit to St Andrew’s coincided with Wednesday evening worship and was attended by many Asian Christians who live in West Yorkshire, some of whom had known Bishop Leu in Pakistan. The evening included a splendid Asian meal, prepared by members of St Andrew’s.

Life is very difficult at present for Christians in Pakistan. Please remember in your prayers all Christians, around the world, whose lives are at risk because they are followers of Jesus Christ.

Martin B, St Andrew’s

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
