Holiday at Home Reunion

Image
By
On Tuesday 13th January at 7:30 pm at St. Andrews, I uttered the fateful words “There will be no snow, I have banned it”. At 7:31 pm, it began to snow!
On Wednesday 14th it snowed. We decided to go ahead with the celebration, and after anxious phone calls from various people, we prepared to receive our guests.

The weather might have been inclement, but the warmth of fun in the church was wonderful. Everyone was having a great time. After a vast quantity of tea/coffee and cakes, buns, etc, we settled down to a game of Musical Bingo. A visitor commented: “How can they guess the tunes, when they are all singing the songs?” Well, that is part of the magic.
Soon it was lunch and everyone had a right royal feast. (We had declared the day a non-diet day!)
After a delightful lunch we were entertained by Ken Romano, who spoiled everyone, with songs and dancing.

All through the day the guests were pampered by the Red Cross, having a relaxing hand, arm and neck massage. 
We finished the day with a short communion service, led by Rev Andrew and then went on our way.

I wish to thank EVERYONE who helped, in any way, to make this day such a success. Without their dedication, the day would not have happened.

Please note that Holiday at Home 2015 will take place on the 6th, 7th and 8th July at St. Andrew’s. Mark this in your diaries.

Holiday at Home is open to anyone who is housebound or does not go on regular holidays. If you would like more information, please contact me.  Details will be announced shortly, but be assured - it will be 3 wonderful days of fun and companionship.

I look forward to seeing everyone in July.

Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank

By
An article in the March Link stated that, after April, the foodbank operated by the Light Church will limit its service to postcodes which extend into the centre of Bradford.  However, there is a food bank which provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and surrounding areas. The following is an account of this bank; I am indebted to Keith Thomson, a member of the committee, for this information. Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank is the original food bank in Bradford. It opened in 2004, as an extension of the Curry Project for rough sleepers, started by Lashman Singh. It provides food bags for the whole of the Bradford district and collects food from the same area. It is non-sectarian, supporting people of all faiths and none, and the volunteers are from all sections of the diverse Bradford community. The main committee, the original seven and up to fifty volunteers are just that. We are all volunteers and no-one is paid. We never see the people and families that...

Parables for Bradford - Week 1 Service Sheet (pdf) Opening Prayers: O God of all, lead us from death to life, from falsehood to truth. Lead us from despair to hope, from fear to trust. Lead us from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe. Amen . Peace to the nations, to east and to west. Peace to our neighbours, to rich and to poor. Peace to all races, all women, all men. The peace of Christ above all peace. The peace of the Prince of peace, to you and to me. Amen. Song STF 262 All glory, laud, and honour. Address: Mark 4. 34 tells us that Jesus did not speak to the crowds unless he used parables. Matthew 7:28  tells us “ Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching. ” In the gospels, there are at least 9 verses like this, where we hear that the Crowds were astounded at Jesus’s teaching. Much of his teaching was in Parables. In the next few weeks, we will be looking at some of his Parables, ...
