Ukrainian Refugees
You’ll know that we are supporting a family who work in Ukraine and have recently had to leave. They have a crisis team in Lviv, western Ukraine and in Krakow, Poland, with folks matching people who need housing/hosting with those offering it. Many refugees cannot get to the UK without someone here offering to host them. This is a ‘go between’ with people known to us. Please contact us if you’re interested.
Looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday at church! 10.30am St Paul’s Manningham. We have an exciting day planned with a return by Rev Sue Jennings and her husband Rev Ian Jennings. They will be taking the service and filling us in on what they have been up to in the past 9 months and what the future holds for them.

Whole Parish WhatsApp Group.
You’ll know that each of our 4 churches has a Prayer Group on WhatsApp that we use to keep in touch and to send prayer requests around quickly. We are making ANOTHER Group called
“GHM News and Praise.”
This will be for the whole Parish. We will not post more than once a day and replies will be disabled so it is information only and less interactive. It will be a quick way to send a piece of news around the whole Parish. The updates about Pantry and reminders of weekly events will be on there – not the individual prayer groups.
Do you want to join this group…….?
If you’re reading this on your phone you can click here to join.
If you’re reading this on a computer you can scan this code to join. (We’ll also send an invite around the Prayer groups.)

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.
Looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday at church! We have an exciting day planned with Breakfast Church to start followed by our Extended Prayer and Praise evening service. We’d love to see you at either service or even both!!
