Happy 100th Birthday Edna

Tea and Talk on 16^th April was very special for us all. We were delighted to celebrate with our dear friend Edna, her 100^th 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.

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.

Courage, Cost and Hope

You may have seen in the press, recently, references to the Methodist Church’s report on the Past Cases Review of Safeguarding concerns in the church over the last 50 years, a report entitled “ Courage, Cost and Hope ”. The report contains many recommendations and learning from its findings will feed into church life over the next months and years (including our Creating Safer Space training). In the meantime, one obvious response is to ensure in each church, that we are doing all that we are required to do under current safeguarding guidance . Rev Nick on behalf of ministerial team
