Candlemas
Candles in the Dark – LyCiG event
Sunday, February 5, 6pm; Bradford Cathedral: Every church a beacon, every one of us a candle.
A celebration of worship, inspiration and encouragement for everyone who wants to see their church growing, with the Rt Revd Sophie Jelley, Bishop of Doncaster.
‘Candles in the Dark’ is organised by the diocesan LyCiG team.
This Sunday we’re meeting together for Breakfast Church in the morning, 10:30am at St Paul’s Church.
And we’ll be thinking about the final of our ‘I am’ statements where Jesus says ‘I am, I am’. Our Bible reading will be taken from John 8.
On Sunday evening we have our monthly Prayer and Praise service at St Philip’s Church at 7pm where we will be thinking about the same theme.
This is the week our service isn’t live-streamed- sorry!
Notices
As of this week all of our Places of Welcome are back open and running normally again!
This means there is something happening in one of our Churches every day of the week, Mon-Fri, do ask us if you want to get involved with any of those.
This Sunday is Christmas Day!!! We’ll be meeting all together, to share the joy of Christmas together. An all age service with lots of fun!
We’ll be thinking about how the wise men came and worshipped the baby Jesus, the King of Kings! Our Bible reading will be from Matthew 2:11 another short passage full of joy!
This will be about an hour long – carols, hot chocolate and glow sticks etc. For the whole community. Please come along and bring a neighbour!
It is currently forecast as quite wet – so we’ll be inside if so – please be assured you’ll only get wet if you choose to go outside.

WONDERLAND THE PANTO at First Martyrs – St Cuthbert’s Players are doing another pantomime on Wed 30 Nov, Thursday 1 Dec and Friday 2 Dec at 7.30pm.
Giving Money – it is lovely that we are a very generous church. Please could we ask that people don’t give money to people who have come to church for help due to hardship. We do help these people regularly, but giving money often puts other temptations in their way so it isn’t always the best thing. If you’re unsure please speak to Clare (and give her the money if need be!!)
