Saturday June 6th is Honley Community Festival- Street Market in Church Street, Fun in People’s Park
Junior Church Trinity has a Junior Church which takes place during the
latter part of the service.
During Easter the activities included a beautiful scroll which told the Easter story and we made hot cross buns which we shared with the con-gregation. The children also produced some very
imaginatively decorated Easter eggs.
Now that the Easter holidays are over, our Junior Church will be looking forward to celebrating more Christian festivals. I hope you will feel like joining us in
our ‘decorated potato’ display when Harvest Festival arrives!

Drumming Up Support for Fairtrade!
On World Fairtrade Day Saturday 9th May something
exciting heads to Holmfirth. The Festival of Folk and fairandfunky are joining forces and “Drumming up Support for Fairtrade” with family workshops, musi-
cians, stalls and exhibitions.
Taking place in Holmfirth Market the event will see
the launch of a very special “Cotton on to Fairtrade”
exhibition from Holme Valley Fairtrade.
Come along and see a collection of celebrity signed Fairtrade cotton bags including Patrick Stewart and Annie Lennox. Raffle tickets will be on sale giving you
the chance to own one of the bags.
Alongside the exhibition a host of stalls will fill the marketplace and a drop-in fairandfunky SCRAPtastic workshop invites people of all ages to create marvel-lous musical instruments out of junk! These can then be taken around the festival to join in the festivities-
you may even find yourself with an audience.
Throughout the day artistes from the festival will be popping in to perform – singers, dancers and drum-mers are all lined up to entertain; many of whom will
be inviting event goers to join in!
Methodists have long seen political engagement as part of their Christian discipleship. Christians are to be found voting for, campaigning for and even standing for almost every political party.
*My roots are in the Baptist church, but after marrying San-
dra in 1999 I joined her in worshipping at Parkwood Methodist
Church, Longwood. My life is surrounded by
beautiful women (what a blessed man I am) as
I have two stepdaughters and three step
granddaughters.
I work for a company called ISS, travelling up
and down the train line from Todmorden to
Marsden, keeping the stations clean and tidy.
I qualified as a Local Preacher in May 2013.

I have been asked to say some-
thing about my new role in Sep-
tember and to explain what
‘Pioneering’ is, so here goes…
The Methodists have recently pub-
lished a booklet which attempts to
describe what Pioeering means.
They say that
‘A pioneer is someone who cre-
ates new opportunities for people
to encounter and respond to
God’s love that extend beyond
traditional church services’*
As you can see this is a broad defi-
nition which means that pioneering
is difficult to pin down (which in
my case is a good thing).
As I was thinking about this I be-
gan to meet people who were suf-
fering from depression or anxiety
or just so stressed that living a
‘normal’ life was an uphill strug-
gle. The shock for me was that
there are so many people suffering
this way.
So I am going into partnership
with the NHS which is doing
some pioneering of its own.
Together we are going to offer
spiritual practices to help with low
to moderate depression, or anxiety,
or stress. We will do this in the
first instance by offering
‘Mindfulness’ courses and then to
continue those courses in whatever
spiritual ways might be useful.
‘Mindfulness’ is a way of not let-
ting the past or the future domi-
nate all your thinking.
Instead the idea is to be aware of
the present moment and to realize
just how special ‘now’ is. It
sounds very simple (which it is)
but it takes time and practice to
perfect what has become an art.
For those who have tried it, many
say ‘it has saved my life’.
The follow-on sessions will at first
be based on the old fashioned ways
of monastic living but
updated for the 21st
century. The groups
which form after the
Mindfulness sessions
can continue with
Mindfulness but to-
gether we can work
out what other practices can help
with our daily living.
I am hoping that the old ways of
a rhythm of life, set times in the
day to stop and pray, and mu-
tual support will further peoples’
well-being.
The exciting thing about all of this
is that as each week begins some-
thing new comes up and all the
partners already involved seem to
be encouraged and supported.
Who is it for? Well, it’s for any-
one and everyone.
The aim is to work with people
who wouldn’t normally go to
church but I am also aware that
many of us who come to church
each Sunday would benefit and
enjoy joining me on this pioneer
adventure.
If you would like to know more,
please get in touch. After Septem-
ber I am happy to visit churches or
groups to explain in more detail.

A Messy Business
Trinity shares Messy Church with St Marys– and you might be wondering
what it’s all about.
The first Messy Church began in 2004 when a group at St Wilfrid’s near Ply-mouth were frustrated because they were hardly reaching any children in the local community with God’s story. They wanted to help families grow together in their walk of faith and not see Christianity as something you grow out of once you get to secondary
school.
Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults together that in-
volves creativity, celebration and hos-pitality. Primarily aimed at non-church people it aims to introduce Jesus and give an opportunity to encounter and
grow closer to
Him.
Messy Church meets at a time that suits people who don’t usually
go to church, so not Sunday mornings! It includes a welcome; a long period of ‘creativity time’ to explore the biblical theme by getting messy; a short cele-bration time involving story, prayer, song and games; followed by a sit-
down meal together at tables.
All of these activities include all ages; adults and children. It is a fun way of doing church and the people who gather at Messy Church become a
congregation themselves.
In Honley the three churches, St. Mary’s, Elim and Trinity, share Messy Church. It is held on the last Saturday of each month, 3.30 to 5.30 pm. The one in May is on the 30th at St Mary’s. Come along and see for yourself what goes on – but also mention this to any families you know. All are welcome – but children need to bring an adult with
them!

Middle East crisis grows
Number of displaced
Syrians and Iraqis is
now equivalent to the
population of London
The present turmoil in the Middle East has produced the worst refu-gee crisis since the end of the Sec-ond World War – but in spite of the huge numbers involved, we are in
danger of forgetting all about them.
That's the view of Jeremy Moodey, CEO of Embrace the Middle East, a Christian charity tackling poverty and injustice in the Middle East. Writing in his blog, Moody explains: “The Reuters news agency sug-gests that the number of displaced Syrians and Iraqis is now equivalent
to the population of London
Embrace is asking for funds to sup-port local Christians throughout the Middle East to provide food, health-care and education to refugees of all faiths and backgrounds trying to rebuild shattered homes and lives. The recent deaths of two Syrian babies from cold in a Lebanese bor-der town highlights the appalling conditions faced by hundreds of
thousands.
Moodey believes that, despite the desperate situation for the 20 million refugees struggling to survive in the Middle East today, there are signs
of hope.
“The region’s small Christian com-munities are responding to the needs of refugees with a generosity of spirit and an abundance of com-passion which is humbling, espe-
cially when one considers all the other pressures on Middle East Christians,” he said. “The Anglican Diocese’s Refuge Egypt project in Cairo, the Middle East Council of Churches' work among refugees in Gaza and the West Bank and the assistance offered by Lebanese Baptists and Catholics to Syrian refugees – these are just some of the incredible projects deserving of
our help.”
Embrace the Middle East, formerly BibleLands, is an inter-denominational Christian charity
which was formed 160 years ago.
Embrace works with some 50 local project partners in the lands of the Bible, primarily Israel, Palestine,
Lebanon, Egypt and Syria.
The questions came as afters- The Meat & Potato Pie Lunch and Quiz.
This event, organised on March 22nd by the Activities Committee, was originally going to be a New Year social in January. Giving much thought to this, the committee decided, taking ‘one consideration with another’- weather, dark night, elderly people, coughs and colds etc. that a mid-day event later in the year
would probably be appreciated more.
This idea proved to be correct; we had a good number of people there, who congregated in the upper room following the morning service and coffee. A lunch of meat and potato pie, or vegetarian option, with peas and gravy, was on the menu, followed by tea or coffee
and assorted biscuits.
The general opinion was that the lunch was very enjoyable which seemed to be, backed-up by the fact that there was nothing at all left! The meal was then followed by a quiz, for which we would like to express our grateful thanks to Jennifer Armitage and Pat Bex for
organising it – Well done!
So we had a good time; good food and good company,
what more can one ask?
Coming – further events. Tuesday 28th July at 2.30pm – Beetle Drive with Tea
and Cakes. Sunday 20th Sept – Harvest Lunch.
Activities Committee: Karen Stannard, Ann Hirst, Carolynne Roberts, Maureen Burley, Jennifer Armitage, Pat Bex, Jean Wood, Margaret
Armitage, Jacki and Deborah Fawcett and Linda Craven.
Trinity/Civic Society Walk – Sunday 22nd March

tory they had trouble with unsympathetic genitals.
~ Moses led the jews to the red sea where they made
unleavened bread, which is bread without any ingre-
dients.

~ The greatest miricle in the bible is when joshua told
his son to stand still and he obeyed him
~ David was a Hebrew king who was skilled at playing
the liar. He fought the finkelsteins, a race of people
who lived in biblical times.

Miscellaneous
The Gideons and the new Money
Mite Collections
There are many people in Britain and elsewhere in the world who have never seen a Bible and may be uncertain what it is. The aim of the Gide-ons is to give them the opportunity to read it for themselves and to dis-cover God in a personal
way.
The Gideons place Bibles in many areas including hotels, hospitals, prisons, student accommodation (except in Huddersfield), care homes and medical centres. Each year they present personal copies of the New Testament and psalms to children in many British secondary schools, and to
university and college students.
Keeping the work of the Gideons in our prayers is one way of supporting them. We can also support their work by donations. Over the years the folks at Honley Trinity have collected loose change in plastic tubes known as Mite Phials on behalf of the Gideons which goes towards the cost of providing the bibles they distribute. The
latest collection (April) amounted to £35
Last November John & Sharon Blaymire of the Gideons led a Sunday Service at Trinity and we got to know the updates of the
work of the Gide-ons and their chal-
lenges.
They introduced us to their newly designed Money Mite. It is now a cardboard tube, with a bigger slot to put your money in. Now you can put in coins and notes of any size and thickness!Please continue to
show your support to this worthwhile work.
Maureen Burley is the Trinity Mite Phial Co-ordinator. See her if you would like to have one of these new Money Mites, but she is happy to take a donation in any form, even in a plastic bag, Every little helps! All donations will be sent to the
Gideons.
Luscious Lunch The Overseas Mission Group is planning a summer Luscious
Lunch party, to be held on Sunday 31st May at 12 noon.
The delicious menu will include a welcoming “mocktail” drink, nibbles, a chicken dish (veggie alternative as well) and a suitably
naughty sweet.
We very much look forward to your company. Our special guest speaker is our very own Tim Moore – and it will also be an op-
portunity for us to spend time together.
Tickets will be available from 3rd May at £10 per person – book
early to avoid disappointment!

Sheppard, Pat Waite and Jane Armitage.

On getting older: When I was a child I thought a midday nap was a punish-
ment… now, as a grown up, it just feels like a short holiday.
The biggest lie I tell myself is… “I don’t need to write that
down, I’ll remember it”.
I don’t have grey hair. I just have ‘wisdom highlights’.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would’ve put them
on my knees.
Of course I may talk to myself- I need expert advice.
At my age “Getting lucky” means walking into a room and
remembering what I came in for.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators but
we haven’t met yet.

This month the Church celebrates the Ascension of Jesus, the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and the
fact that our God is a Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
After the Resurrection, Jesus was seen on the road to Emmaus and by the Sea of Galilee. 40 days after Easter Jesus ascended into heaven; his work on earth was done. The disciples returned to Jerusalem, and on the fateful morning of Pentecost, there was suddenly the sound as of a mighty rushing wind. Tongues of flame flickered on their heads, and they began to praise God in many
tongues – to the astonishment of those who heard them.
That morning the Holy Spirit came to indwell all those who believed in Jesus: the Church was born. And so we
have a triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

There’s a word in the list below which is not in the square but hidden elsewhere in the newsletter.
Gadgets for God No.256: "Here I Stand" socks
Martin Luther was very probably wearing socks
just like these when he delivered his defiant "Here I
stand, I can do no other" speech before Emperor
Charles V. His Mum would have made sure of it:
"You're not going to see the Emperor without your
best socks on."
Which is why it's so appropriate that the town of Wittenberg, where Luther lived, is now selling the
Luther Sock, complete with his "Here I stand"
speech, which he probably never made, spoilsport
scholars say. The Luthersocke: yours for just 7 Eu-
ros.
Thanks be unto Lori Erickson of the Spiritual Trav-
els blog for the sock alert and photo.
From Helen Amster, Sandstone Close, 14 March
Many thanks to Sylvia for the pretty spring flowers
from Church on 9th March; a lovely bouquet of yellow
tulips and purple hyacinths, bringing colour and fra-
grance to my room. Altogether much appreciated.
♣ From Barbara Leach, Chesterton Drive, 12 April
I would like to say thank you to Trinity Church for
the very nice flowers which I received while I have not
been well. Thank you.
