Welcome to our first Spirituality page in the Link, where we will keep you up to date with various events and resources to help you explore and deepen your faith.

Connecting to God

Earthenware goblet holding a candle.
Some of us have found connecting to God more difficult, as our usual patterns of worship have been taken away. To help us all cope, we are posting or emailing prayer and worship materials out each week, and some of us have been enjoying the freedom of being able to go back to these later in the week, and even sharing them with others. What you may not be so aware of is what’s available on the Bradford North Website and elsewhere.

The Bradford North Website

Rev Christine Crabtree, with the help of Roy Lorrain-Smith, Jackie Marshall and others, have been building up a wealth of material on our Circuit website www.bradfordnorth.org.uk/ under the headings of Prayer and Spirituality. You can find Prayer on Thursdays videos, audio and written meditations and stories, and Quiet Day materials developed for use at home if you have an hour or longer. If you don’t have a computer but are interested in some of the written material, please phone me and we will arrange to print and post it to you.

You can also phone The Methodist Church for a prayer or message:
  • Listen to a prayer: 0808 281 2514
  • Listen to a pastoral message from the President and Vice- President: 0808 281 2695
  • Listen to our Podcast: 0808 281 2478
These phone lines are updated every Thursday.

When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.
(Jeremiah 29:13, New Revised Standard Version)

News from Thornton Methodist Church

By
Like everyone else, we are all trying to get on with life but at times it is not easy and not meeting with all our Church family can be difficult and lonely. Just before Christmas we were having services twice a month but not all people were able to attend which was very sad but we all kept in touch by text/phone it is not quite the same but it is good to talk. During Advent we put a display in the porch window of the Christmas story, adding different characters each week until all figures were assembled around the baby for the community of Thornton to see. All our children in Sunday School received an Advent calendar to let them know we were all thinking of them. We also had a Christingle service but this was very different from previous years. Masks were worn, tables set out at the required social distance and hand sanitizers available in lots of areas. People made their own Christingles from packs but instead of using fruits, wrapped fruit lollipops did the job just fine. Rev. Chris...

Virtual Worship - Easter Sunday 12 April 2020

By
Today’s the day - everything is changed. Death’s cave is empty, save linen cloth as calling card for Love. That life has won, and hope’s made whole, thank God! Alleluia! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed, Alleluia! Holy and risen Lord, we come to worship you on this special Easter Day. We thank you for all you have done for us. We lift our eyes to honour you, living Lord Jesus. You have overcome death; fill us with your joy and new life. Amen You might like to read, sing or listen to an Easter hymn. Perhaps  Christ the Lord is risen today, or Low in the grave he lay (H&P 193/202, StF 298/305). This is perhaps the strangest Easter Sunday we have experienced in most of our lifetimes. Not able to gather as God’s people on this holiest of days. Not able to spend time with family and friends. Not able to visit dale or coast. Yet even as restrictions bite, we affirm God’s love in Christ Jesus, and seek to help each other hear the Easter message. We gather in ...

Rock Solid

By
Rock Solid is the new youth club for 9-13 year olds at Wilsden Trinity Church . It aims to provide a group for older children to follow on from Wilsden Trinity’s other youth club, Friends and Heroes. Every Tuesday we meet for games, Bible stories, sweets, crafts and chats. Highlights so far include wrapping people up as mummies, making ice cream sundaes, playing Zip Zap Boing (which is as confusing as it sounds), building Easter gardens and making lava lamps. We set aside a good amount of time just for chatting, and each week we have a “Millstone, Milestone” section – each person can say if they’ve had a difficult week (millstone) or a brilliant week (milestone) and why. This has been a platform for many entertaining anecdotes and tales that the group has shared together. Rock Solid started in March 2017, and so far numbers are low. Our small group has fun, but we would love to welcome some new members! All children and young people between the ages of 9-13 can join. It is £2 on the ...
