The exhibition looks at our textile city of Bradford through its own medium, reflecting growth and change, wealth and poverty and exclusion and diversity. REVISED SEATING ARRANGEMENTS. Please let us have your views, which will be taken to the Community Committee, by completing a feedback form on the sound desk and either put it into the box or give it to Monica. Your views are important and do matter so please let us know what you think.
CONFIRMATION CLASSES will be starting on Saturday 26th October at 10am. If you would like to attend, either to be baptised or confirmed or as a refresher please contact Canon Mandy or one of the clergy. WEST END GARDEN We are looking for a team to help with the replanting of the West End Garden. If you could help, please see Canon Mandy. Thank you. Our FAIRTRADE STALL desperately needs more people to help with the stall on Sundays – could you help? We have run the stall for many years now, and we want to continue to do so, but we really do need more people to ‘join the team’. If you would like to help or know more, please speak to Jane Tarver or let Sandra Heaton in the Cathedral Office know. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! The autumn season is always busy here at the Cathedral, and Advent will be especially busy. We are always needing new people to come and join our growing band of volunteers to help with refreshments; eco and Fairtrade ventures; welcoming on a Sunday morning as well as during the week; bell ringing; help with children both on Sundays and during the week, to mention just some of the wide variety of volunteer work we do here. Please do let us know if you can spare some time to help on a Sunday, or at other times during the week when the Cathedral gets busy with many other activities. Just let one of the churchwardens Monica or Alex know and we will be pleased to help you find the right niche for your special skills!! CATHEDRAL VACANCY: CHORISTERS' SINGING TEACHER Bradford Cathedral seeks the services of a professional musician to teach our choristers singing on most Saturday mornings during term-time. As part of their ongoing musical education, each full chorister in Bradford Cathedral Choir receives a free one-to-one fortnightly singing lesson. For more information please visit https://www.bradfordcathedral.org/about-us/careers/ or speak to Alex Berry, Director of Music. A message from David, our Head Verger I am looking for a team of lovely people to keep the cathedral sparkling and looking its best at all times. The care of the cathedral is a wonderful and vital ministry. I am looking for a group of up to 6 people, who would be able to give one or two hours each week. The tasks that need doing are dusting, and brass and wood polishing. I am anticipating that the group is split into 3 couples: one couple who focus on the dusting, one on the brass polishing, and one on the wood polishing. If you are interested in keeping the cathedral sparkling, I (David, the Head Verger) would love to hear from you; come and find me after the service or drop me an email at head.verger@bradfordcathedral.org
