Holiday at Home July 2017

Bradford North H@H was set for 3/4/5th July. On Monday 3rd July, we found over 53 guests and helpers descend on St. Andrews at 10am. We had several first timers, who soon settled in and began to enjoy themselves. The morning was taken up with getting to know one another and having a couple of quizzes.

Tuesday 4th July dawned bright and our coach (nice and new) arrived on time and so did our happy wanderers. We set off towards Liverpool to Knowsley Safari Park. Upon arrival, we had a delightful lunch.

After lunch, we boarded our cage (coach) to go and see the animals, who were free. We were not allowed to go round the baboon enclosure as the coach could be damaged.

Wednesday 5th July dawned all too quickly. This morning we were introduced to Chris Ellerton, who is an artist. He showed us how easy it is to do oil painting. Well, he made it look easy. This was very enjoyable and involved our participation.

After lunch, we were royally entertained by the Bradford Ukelele Band. Everyone was encouraged to join in, and even the helpers participated.

We rounded off Holiday at Home with communion, to thank God for our fun and friendship over the last 3 days.

A very big thank you to EVERYONE who helped in any way. We look forward to seeing everyone in January 2018.

Our call to worship is a selection of other verses taken from the same psalm: I pray to you, O Lord ; 3 you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer [ b ] and wait for your answer. all who find safety in you will rejoice; they can always sing for joy. Protect those who love you; because of you they are truly happy ...
