Guest Column

Cover Story

Rev Tim Moore offers this explanation:

Very often we come across people who seem to ask us to do the impossible.

Sometimes we read parts of the Bible which can have the same effect of

causing us to say, 'that just can't be done'. On a Sunday morning in Janu-

ary we attempted to show that some-times what seems impossible- is possi-

ble.

First water was poured onto an ordinary cotton handker-

chief. The water fell through the weave of the handkerchief and into a handily placed bowl (as you would expect). How-

ever, what happened next caught us by surprise.

We then placed the same cotton handkerchief across the rim

of a glass full of water and turned the glass upside down (as in the cover picture) but the water didn't come tumbling out as

before; it stayed in the glass.

We had asked the handkerchief to do the impossible by keep-

ing the water in the glass (and the heads below dry) and it

did! It may have seemed impossible, but it wasn’t.

Impossible? Jesus could turn water into wine!. (Ed)

This month our

minister has very kindly

given over his column to a

guest contributor,

Jane Armitage. Jane is our

church secretary, so knows everything

that goes on and is hard working provided there’s plenty of coffee.

We are very happy to print her

contribution; The Nun’s Prayer.

17th Century Nun’s Prayer - Anon

Lord, Thou knowest better than

I know myself that I am growing older and will some day be old.

Keep me from the fatal habit of

thinking I must say something on

every subject and on every occasion. Release me from

craving to straighten out

everybody’s affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful

but not bossy. With my vast store

of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest Lord

that I want a few friends at the end.

Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me

wings to get to the point. Seal my

lips on my aches and pains. They are increasing and love of

rehearsing them is becoming

sweeter as the years go by. I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy

the tales of other’s pains, but help

me to endure them with patience.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing

humility and a lessening

cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories

of others. Teach me the glorious

lesson that occasionally I may be

mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet; I do

not want to be a Saint – some of them are so hard to live with – but

a sour old person is one of the

crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in

unexpected places and talents in

unexpected people. And give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen.

On Friday 12th December, the House of Commons voted to enshrine in law the UK's commit-

ment to use 0.7% of Gross National Income for foreign aid.

The UK Aid Bill will now proceed to the House of Lords. As the UK Aid Bill progresses, please:

• give thanks for all who voted for the Bill, a manifesto pledge of all three main parties in the last election.

• give thanks for those instances in which UK aid has made or will make a positive difference in people's lives

• pray that progress towards ensuring the quantity of aid will allow the focus to turn more towards its quality

• pray that the UK government's policies in other areas will not undermine the work it does to relieve poverty

through aid. With thanks to Christian Concern for One World

Priestly said it about Bradford

In 1933 J.B. Priestley embarked on an

‘English Journey’ and, as he criss-crossed the country, found he was

naturally drawn to his home town of Bradford. It was, he said, ‘one of the

most provincial and yet one of the most cosmopolitan of English provincial cit-

ies.’

The international dimension came partly from the wool

trade but also from an influx of German and German-Jewish immigrants during the early and mid-Victorian

periods. The houses they once inhabited are now, in

part, owned by the British-Pakistani middle class.

The parallels between then and now are not perfect, but the lesson drawn by Priestley so many years ago

sti ll holds good:

‘History shows us that countries that have opened

their doors have gained, just as the countries that have driven out large numbers of their citizens for

racial, religious or political reasons, have always

paid dearly for their lack of tolerance.’

Local Connections

Interested in writing?Interested in writing?Interested in writing?Interested in writing?

On Saturday, March 7th, the local branch

of the Association of Christian Writers will

be meeting in Holm-

firth Methodist Church

Kimm Brook writes:

We are a small friendly group of writers who happen

to be Christians from a range of denominations. We gather at 10:30am for refreshments and chat, fol-

lowed by a short period of reflection and prayer.

Our secretary passes on information about courses

and anything else likely to be of interest and then we

have a writing workshop.

There is a break for a “faith” lunch (everyone brings

food to share). This is invariably a splendid feast!

The afternoon is given over to reading work produced in the morning as well as items brought from home

and we finish with a prayer around 3:30pm.

If you fancy giving it a try, please come along or if you

know someone who might be interested, please pass

this invitation on.

‘the connexion’

the connexion is a new print magazine for the

Methodist people.

The first issue brings you news of people and pro-

jects in these islands as well as North Korea and Sri Lanka, showing how vibrant Methodism can be. It has

a primary theme of evangelism (the 'e-word') and ways that Methodists can refocus on an area that

many find problematic.

The magazine has been produced in response to

calls from many Methodists for improved communica-tions and more news about what is happening across

the Connexion.

Two more issues will be published in 2015 -issue two

in April and issue three in September.

The Samaritan on the Train to London

Mohammed Ajeeb was a

teenager when he arrived in this country from his native

Pakistan more than 30 years ago. He found himself on a

London-bound train in freez-ing weather conditions, but

in the company of a genial Englishman who warmed to

the young immigrant and did his best to help. He man-

aged to adjust the heating so that the temperature was at

least bear-able, put his own overcoat around the young stranger's shoulders, and bought him a cup of cocoa. In

fact, he even offered to find the young man a job.

When they reached London, their ways parted. The

youngster managed to land a job, worked hard and eventually became a successful businessman in Brad-

ford. In May 1985 he was elected Lord Mayor, the town's first mayor from another country. It was no mean

achievement from such humble beginnings.

Mr. Ajeeb had never forgotten the man who had be-

friended him on his first day in England. He didn't know his name. Indeed, all he knew about him was that he

was a farmer in Derbyshire. However, he eventually tracked him down. The Good Samaritan on the train

turned out to be the late Ted Moult, the popular broad-caster, and he had forgotten all about his kindness to a

young stranger so many years ago.

I am reminded of the old saying, "Never forget a

kindness done to you, but forget any done by you."

Cited from: F. Gay, The Friendship Book, 1989

Treading Water A vicar was planning an Easter pilgrimage to the Holy

Land, and was aghast when he found it would cost him

£50 an hour to rent a boat on the Sea of Galilee. He protested to the travel agent that the cost was ridicu-

lous. “Maybe,” replied the agent, “but you have to take

into account that the Sea of Galilee is water on which

our Lord himself walked.” “At £50 an hour”, said the

vicar, “I am not surprised he walked!”

Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed,

This tiny litt le prayer

Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family

Where ever they may be,

Keep them warm and safe from harm

For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one other thing

I wish that you would do; Hope you don't mind me asking,

Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it 's unusual To Bless a motherboard,

But listen just a second

While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that litt le metal box Holds more than odds and ends;

Inside those small compartments

Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them

By the kindness that they give,

And this litt le scrap of metal

Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them Much the same as you.

We share in what life brings us

And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute

From your duties up above,

Bless those in my address book

That 's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach

To each and every friend, Bless each e-mail inbox

And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list On your own Great CD-ROM,

Bless everyone who says this prayer

George Marsden retires (Believe it or not!)

Honley Male Voice Choir’s popular and well-loved organist and deputy piano ac-

companist George Marsden has decided to retire after nearly forty-one years loyal

service.

George played at his first service at Salem

Methodist Church in Berry Brow in 1949 when he was 14 years old and afterwards the church trustees de-

cided to appoint him as organist, even though he had never ap-plied for the job! He was paid £10 a year for two Sunday services

and Tuesday choir rehearsals, plus ten shill ings and sixpence for

weddings and funerals.

During his Army National Service in Germany he played the organ at the garrison church. When he returned home in 1958 he re-

sumed playing at Salem church but later was appointed organist at the Salendine Nook Baptist Church where he stayed for twenty-

one years.

Since 1981 he has been playing the organ at St. John’s Church,

Newsome and St. Paul’s Church, Armitage Bridge - on the same Sunday. For many years he was accompanist for the Honley Gil-

bert and Sullivan Society and currently plays for the Huddersfield

Over Sixties Choir.

In 1984 he was elected President of the Huddersfield and District

Organists Association. Can he really be retiring?

Paraprosdokians:(they have ways of making you think)

• War doesn’t determine who is right, only who is left.

• If I agreed with them we’d all be wrong.

• I asked God for a bike but I know God doesn’t work that

way so I stole a bike and then asked for forgiveness.

• Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than

standing in a garage makes you a car.

• We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public. • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit but wisdom is not

putting it in a fruit salad.

• To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism but to steal

from many is research.

• Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity

they can train people to stand on the edge of the pool and

throw them fish.

Miscellany


This CartoonChurch.com cartoon by Dave Walker originally appeared in the Church Times

June Hatton June Hatton died in January. Her

funeral service was led by Pastor Ian

Sharp from Elim Pentecostal church, and was held in Trinity as so many

people wanted to attend.

In the early 1960’s her family moved to Honley and June worked in

the textile mill in Thirstin, but most people in the village

will have known her as the lollipop lady by the fish and chip shop at the end of Jaggar Lane. She did this job for 16

years in all weathers come rain or shine.

She was an advocate of keeping the Green Belt pro-

tected, and was very involved in the Honley Village Com-

munity Trust since it was founded 21 years ago. She was a great one for making sure that the Magdale Fields were

protected and not built upon, and one who advocated they

should be a wildlife haven and not landscaped.

Well known around the village, she would invariably

end a conversation with: “Now you just look after your-

self.” A kind and generous person, she will be much missed.

Chicken out

A minister had been left a parrot in the Wi ll of a member of his congregation, and soon re-

gretted it: the bird was very rude to anyone in

the congregation who dropped by the parson-

age. When the parrot reduced the next visitor

to tears, the minister grabbed him and stuffed

him into the fridge for five minutes whi le he

apologised to the visitor, and saw her out.

When he took the parrot out five

minutes later, the bird was trans-

formed. ‘I am just so sorry. I was

completely out of order. I promise

I wi ll never be rude to anyone

again.’ The minister was happi ly astonished,

and put the bird back into his cage. He was

about to go back to work when the parrot

coughed politely and ventured: “Mind if I ask something? When I was in the fridge just now,

I just wondered: what that chicken had done?”

Lent lasts for 40 days. Sundays in Lent are not counted as Sunday is never a day of fasting, but a weekly celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Christians have used Lent as their ‘40 days in the

wilderness’, when they set aside the indulgences of life and instead look inward, seeking spiritual renewal and growth. Lent looks towards the Cross and the Empty Tomb, with the assurance of redemption and new life in Christ. The daffodils in our gardens are golden trumpets to proclaim the wonderful message of Easter! The English word for Lent is not at all religious; it

is an abbreviation of the Old English word ‘lencten’, or ‘lengthen’. At last winter is over, and the days are getting longer…

LENT FORTY DAYS SUNDAYS FASTING WEEKLY CELEBRATION RESURRECTION

There’s a word in the list below which is not in the square but hidden elsewhere in the newsletter.

From the Editor, Moorside Road, 8 February No-one has written in to this column this month,

which is surprising seeing as we had plenty to discuss

at the Churc h Meeting, not to mention all those flowers and even the the argument about the

difference between a chicken and a hen.

So, a chance to remind you that there are several good publications laid out on the vestibule table, all of

them FREE, and all can be taken away and read at home or while waiting to see the doctor. Try ‘Mission

Matters’, ‘the connexion’, or even this Newsletter.

Gadgets for God Apps of the Apostles No 227: Church Organ

The blurb for this app is work of art in itself. "Did you ever dreamed to carry a big Church

Organ in your pocket, to play while travelling or sitting in your sofa?" Well, frankly, yes. But back to the app. Church organists who can't bear to be parted from their instruments can now practise Sunday's tricky voluntary on the go, with two keyboards, four octaves and

plenty of stops to recreate that "in church" feeling. £0.59/$0.99 Cheaper than a real organ!
