Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham

This Sunday we are meeting together for our Communion service, 10:30am at St Paul’s Church. We’re continuing our sermon series Proclaiming With… as we explore what God’s people throughout the Bible have said about God and we ask ourselves ‘What have I learned about who God is that I want to tell people about?’

On Sunday we will be thinking about proclaiming with the writer of the Psalms, speaking words of trust in God, knowing that he will protect us.  Our Bible reading will be from Psalm 18

Testimonies

Over the coming months we are focusing on famous proclamations of faith in the Bible.  To match it we’d love to hear stories from you!

Does anyone have a story about when………

OFSTED

Many congratulations to St Philip’s Primary School who have been given a ‘Good’ in their recent OFSTED inspection.  Special thanks to Denise who chairs the School Board and Clare who is on the board.  This is the result of a LOT of hard work and sacrificial giving of time and energy (and sometimes tears!).

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!
