'Mary’s Knitting' (Nativity play) - a Good News story from Allerton.

It was wonderful to see our church full of families at our Carol and Gift Service. Everyone gave generously of toys and food for those less fortunate than ourselves in our community. Our young people, including cubs, scouts and their families, joined in a very different nativity led by Dave.

This lovely family service topped off what was a fantastic weekend at Allerton. Our annual Coffee and Carols event in aid of Action for Children was really well supported. Lots of new faces and a whopping £367 raised for the charity.

Thank you to all who helped in any way. Special thanks to Ley Top Singing Stars and Claire Pipe.

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.

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.
