Circuit Fairtrade Celebrations

Two of our Fairtrade champions

A big thank you to everyone who came to the Fair Trade Big Brew at Thackley Methodist Church on 28th February. It was lovely to see so many people there from different churches in the Circuit. We took £316.35 in sales of fair trade goods. We also raised £75.57 by asking for donations for the refreshments and this money has been sent to Traidcraft Exchange for their Fair Necessities Appeal, which means that the money will be doubled by the UK government and used to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the developing world.

A special thank you to Thackley for hosting our event and to all who helped on the day. Thank you!

Ruth H, Calverley

Biblefresh Festival 11 June 2011 - bookings now open

Bradford North and South Circuits invite you to their city-wide Biblefresh Festival Saturday 11 June 2011 Full details and booking form

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.
