Prayer for Bradford

Do you feel isolated  at your work?  
Are you unsupported in your Christian faith in the world?

After worship, we share a coffee and a chat. But that is Sunday. We never seem to talk about Monday to Friday.  Work may be stressing me out and there is no one to share this with. Work may be brilliant and there is no one to share that with.

How do we find being a Christian within a secular work environment? Do we feel isolated, or pressured, or encouraged?

Prayer for Bradford wants to help and support you, where you are.  They want to help Christians who work in any area to feel supported. Especially, those who work within: - Business, Education, Finance, Health and Care, Media and Arts, Politics, and Public Services.

The aim is to gather the names of Christians who work in Bradford and, later in the year, invite you to meet in work-related groups.  e.g.  Education etc... This is to allow you to share with others how you are and what encouragements you could give to others. It might be that you feel alone as a Christian in your workplace, but you find that, actually, you are not. This is a wonderful chance to network with other people from around the city.
 
If you would like to share in this venture, then please send your name, area of work and your e-mail address to me as soon as possible, please.

Thank you
John W, Circuit Pastoral Co-ordinator

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...
