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)

Virtual Worship - 6 February 2022

Service Sheet (pdf) Welcome to worship wherever you are in the Circuit, come and join i n with the people of Allerton as we gather to worship God together. In a pretty setting opposite Ladywood Park, overlooking green space and its own graveyard, the congregation gathers from the surrounding area, a mix of faces, cultures and traditions, coming together to worship God. Call to worship: Come and worship the Lord: Cry, Holy, holy, holy! Come and praise the name of our God: The whole earth is full of his glory! Song We begin with HP 9/StF 55 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, praising God in his glory. Prayers We worship you, God of all: high above us, your glory more than we could bear to see. You have formed and shaped our world; and we look up and see the grandeur of the mountains, the power of the seas, the distant stars, the long-lived trees, and we marvel. Yet your love is also poured out upon the lowliest of creatures, insects that live but a day, sea creatures never seen by hum...
