Parish of GHM

This Sunday is our Breakfast Church as we continue to look at the Christmas Story in the build up to Christmas.

This week we’ll be thinking about how there was no room for Mary and Joseph on arrival in Bethlehem, looking at Luke 2:7 a short passage – but one of the most famous in history!

We don’t Live stream our Breakfast Church – but come along instead of watching from home.

This Sunday is our International Communion service as we continue to journey through advent together.

This week we’ll be thinking about the very long journey that Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem, looking at Luke 2:4-5

This week is the second Sunday of the month so two services Sunday!

In the morning at our usual time of 10:30am there is our Breakfast Church service at St Paul’s

In the evening we have a service of Prayer and Praise at St Philip’s Church, 7pm.

Both services will be looking at the Jesus’ saying ‘I am the true vine’ which can be found at the beginning of John 15.

We will also be marking Remembrance Sunday as we meet.

This Sunday we’re back to the beginning of the month with an International Communion service looking at Jesus’ Parable of the Tenants from Luke 20:9-19

On Sunday it is the 5th Sunday of the month.  It is a ‘Juicy’ service when we try to use our church space in a different way and have different ways to experience the Bible Story.

This week it is Zacchaeus the Tax Collector, can find the Bible passage in Luke 19:1-10.

This week on Sunday we continue to look at the Sermons of Jesus – looking at the story where Jesus blesses the children and the Rich Man you can find the Bible passage in Luke 18:15-30.  Our Parish Communion service is on Sunday at 10.30am – St Paul’s Church Manningham

Lantern Festival

Some are making lanterns in our Places of Welcome and we want to be officially present as a Parish for this lovely community event.  It is in Lister Park on 28th October 2022 at 6pm

Recipes and Stories

We have some funding for community cohesion around a possible GHM recipe book,  The idea would be to tell a story that relates to a recipe – maybe a family favourite, or something that matches with a special memory.  We hope that this can bring community together to talk, share and cook.  Also it would result in our very own recipe book.  Can you think if you’d like to contribute or if it is something you can help us with.  Ask Michelle for more details or Contact us.

This week on Sunday we continue to look at the Sermons of Jesus – reading The Persistent Widow in Luke 18:1-8 you can find the Bible passage in Luke 18:1-8.

Saying Goodbye services are returning to Bradford in October with a Baby loss remembrance and support service.  On the 29th October at 2pm, in Bradford Cathedral,  we will be hosting one of our Saying Goodbye Services.

This Sunday we have Breakfast Church – St Paul’s Church – 10.30am.  Please bring someone along if you haven’t before.  This is our service that is deliberately aimed at people who are not used to Church.  If Breakfast Church isn’t really your cup of tea (and croissant!) then perhaps Prayer and Praise at 7pm – St Philip’s Church might be something to try.  We follow the same theme, but there is more singing and a more intimate feel.
