Giving

There are many in our parish who regularly give to the church through a Direct Debit to our bank account. If you do – firstly thank you so much for your generosity! It would be a great help though if you transferred across to using the Parish Giving Scheme. As charity rules, tax claims etc become more complicated it is increasingly becoming a big task to claim back the 20% we can get on top of your gift. Joining the Parish Giving Scheme makes it all so much easier for us – and easier for you too! Please speak to Zarine if you want to know more about it – or click the links!  If you don’t get around to giving during the service you can give anytime online!

Bradford – UK City of Culture 2025

On Saturday we meet to have Brunch together and learn more about Jesus and how he can change lives today.  As usual 10.30 for Brunch – but we’ll be starting a little sooner as we continue with The Chosen – that we watched at Christmas.  Here is a BBC review.

We hope and pray that this drama will bless you as we explore the world Jesus came to.  Parts of the story are meeting the characters that will feature more fully in later episodes.

We meet Mary Magdalene struggling with real trauma. Simon and Andrew struggling with their business. Nicodemus, a respected teacher and leader, yet also a man struggling with some doubts and insecurities.  All of them are lost. They’re all damaged, all searching.  Can you guess who they need?

Here is the trailer for Season 1.

Earlier this month, we looked at giving to the community and how that positively impacts society . This week, we continue to explore the topic of Giving, as we think about what it is to be giving of our time within church.  Are you in a Parish Team yet?  If not please think about which one you’d like to be in!

We will reflect on the following passage from the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Our All Age communion service is at 10.30am at St Paul’s Church.

Our live stream of the service is here. We will start streaming at 10.25am.
