Get Ready! Holiday at Home is coming in July

Image
By


On the 6th, 7th and 8th July at St. Andrews Church, Undercliffe, there will be 3 days of fun and enjoyment for those who come. This is the programme which has been planned:-

 Monday: at Church with chatting, games and food.
Tuesday: a trip to York with a River Cruise, 3 Course Lunch and a guided tour of York Minster
Wednesday: at Church with fun, food, and entertainment.

 The bookings will open in May, so get yourselves ready and make a note of the dates. If you have not been before, Holiday at Home is primarily for elderly people who would not normally get a holiday. If you go to a relatives caravan for a couple of weekends, that does not exclude you. If you go to the Bahamas for 4 months a year, well - that is a different story! If you need more details before you decide whether to go, please contact myself and I will be happy to tell you more.

To those who have been before - I look forward to seeing you again.

 This is for anyone throughout the circuit. I will give out more information later on, so get ready.

 John, Pastoral Co-Ordinator

 PS A reminder to helpers….we shall be recruiting volunteers shortly.

May message from the Ministry Team

By
Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...

After Lunch we enjoyed games. Believe it or not, Snakes & Ladders was popula...
