An introduction from Anna, Children's Ministry Enabler



Hello, my name is Anna, and I am the circuit’s new Children’s Ministry Enabler. I am from Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.

I became a Christian at around the age of 14. I was a member of a Methodist youth fellowship group and went with a friend from the age of 12. I was part of several Bible study groups, and away days, and my faith grew. When I was 15, a mission team from Cliff College came to the church that the group was part of, and I went to a church service for the first time, which was a turning point in my faith, and I have attended regularly from then on. I later attended Cliff College, was part of several missions myself and completed an Honours degree in Theology.

In my spare time, I enjoy walking, running, listening to a wide range of music, and playing the keyboard (not that successfully!).

I have enjoyed meeting and working with many of you, and I look forward to meeting and working with those of you who I haven’t met yet.

Anna
Anna started work in the circuit on 5 January; we welcome her warmly!

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.

Prayer Column - January 2022

The turn of the year As a new year approaches we tend to wonder what lies ahead, hoping always to shake off the past’s bad record and for something better to come, as if hoping could make it so. We wonder about next year because of course we don’t know what lies around the corner (however great the store of human knowledge, and however thorough our Googling). Search as we may, and it’s a royal honour to do so (Prov 25:2), some things are known only to God: times and seasons fixed by his authority are not for us to know (Acts 1:7), for the future is his. This is a time to remind ourselves of God’s omniscience: he does know (Rom 11:33). He knows the plans he has for us – plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us a hope and a future (Jer 29:11). And it’s time to remember also that God is not far-off and aloof, but a loving, heavenly Father who wants a close living relationship with each of us, day by day and breath by breath – he sent Jesus to bring us back to him.
