HEATON CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL

Members of Haworth Road Church were invited by St. Barnabas Church, Heaton to join in their Christmas Tree Festival and decorate one of the trees.

We accepted their invitation and were delighted to be part of a local community event. There were around 30 trees, all with lights provided. These were decorated by local churches, schools, businesses and individual families. (Our tree is the second from the left!!)

On Advent Sunday evening an Ecumenical and Community Carol Service was held. This was a fitting and moving way to end their Celebration Weekend and the trees remained in the Church until 4^th January.

‘INN CHURCHES’ PROJECT FOR THE HOMELESS

We have also been involved in this project, which has now been extended to a wider number of churches. St. Martin’s was the venue for our area, for the week 12^th -19^th January and we provided a team on the Friday evening to make, and serve a hot meal and befriend the guests. This was a very moving and challenging experience for us all.

July 2014 Prayer Column

Prayer and trafficking In prayer (as in all discipleship) we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the ‘powers of darkness’ led by the devil (Eph 6:11-12). He always deceives to destroy (John 8:44), and we can use this knowledge in our praying. Take human trafficking, for example: Deception : ●Riches are used as a lure, offering a better way of life (we’ve been similarly hoodwinked for a long time) but you can’t serve God and money (Mt 6:24). ●There’s often corruption of officialdom by bribery. ●Blatant lies are told to victims, and probably to ‘customers’ – ●who’re duped to see sex as a god of satisfaction, ●and who’re obviously cheating on their wives, to whom they have made marriage vows. Marriage is a gift of God, to be honoured (Gen 1:24; Mt 19:15; Heb 13:4). ●You may be able to add other points. Destruction : ●Prostitution is doing for money what should be done for love, and the commercialisation of sex ...
