Happy 100th Birthday Edna

Tea and Talk on 16th April was very special for us all.  We were delighted to celebrate with our dear friend Edna, her 100th birthday – a truly wonderful achievement.
The hall was superbly decorated and tables beautifully set for a birthday party.  We all enjoyed an afternoon tea, as well as chatting to our friends.  Edna got chance to go round and talk to all her friends.
Edna was surprised to receive a visit from the then Lord Mayor, Councillor Joanne Dodds and her consort, Robert Dodds.  The Lord Mayor gave Edna a present and card on behalf of Bradford Council.
A photographer from the Telegraph & Argus came and we were delighted to see Edna’s photograph in the paper a couple of days later.

Edna brought with her the card that she had received from HM the Queen.  This took pride of place on a table with a birthday cake and a basket of flowers from her friends at Allerton Church.
The Lord Mayor chatted to Edna for a while, before we were entertained by the Huddersfield and Ripponden Brass Band, playing many tunes we knew and could sing along to.

Judith H, Allerton

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

Dear friends, You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at  Bradford Academy  that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further  Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation  can develop between the two cities. Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.   Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...
