You may remember Sue Jennings!!  Sue and her husband Ian are still preparing to serve in SE Asia and we as a Parish are supporting them both prayerfully and financially.  On Sunday 20th March they will be preaching in our Sunday service to tell us about what they are going to do.  Please make a special effort to come.

Our Annual Meeting will be on 3rd April after the morning International Service.  Please try your best to attend this important meeting.

Lent retreat with Bishop Toby on Saturday 2nd April in Bradford Cathedral with a 9:30 for 10am start and finishing by 1pm. 

This retreat morning will be an opportunity for many of us and our congregations/communities to find a lenten space to meet with God. This will be a time to enjoy the Cathedral space, to pray, reflect and to bring to God some at least of what we are carrying. There will be prayer-stations, brief reflections from Bishop Toby on the hours and other resources, but also space for those who want to shape the time for themselves in different ways.

Happy March everyone!! This week as we enter a new month we are finishing our series on Genuine Faith. We will be learning about the Power of Prayer, and reading from James chapter 5. Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.  Don’t forget this is our international service when we celebrate that we have so many people living and worshiping with us in other languages.

Live stream for our service will be available via this link – https://linktr.ee/ParishofGHM

This latest piece of art at St Paul’s is called ‘Gathered‘ bringing people at the Monday Place of Welcome together for a shared activity.  People from England, Scotland, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Morocco and Kenya have all made the circles together, cutting them out of fabric, sewing a hem around the edge and then gathering them in to make the smaller circles.  They look better arranged and gathered together than individual circles on their own.  They are all different shapes, colours and sizes, just like us.

Just a little reminder that we have made a small tweak to our service pattern, which started last week.  We will have 2 services a month when the children and adults learn separately.  On the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the Month.  2nd Sunday is still Breakfast church.  The All Age service will move from the 1st Sunday of the month to the 4th.  We will also try to particularly focus on our international members on the First Sunday of the month.
