Wholeness
Today The FLOWERS today have been given by Monica Slocombe as a thanksgiving for her parents. We welcome today, the Revd Canon Steve Allen, who will be preaching at the 10.15am Eucharist. Prayer Ministry will also be offered during communion. BRING & SHARE PICNIC is TODAY and (weather permitting) will be held in the Cathedral grounds and everyone is welcome. It will move to the Parish Room if it’s not possible to hold it in the grounds. Don’t worry if you haven’t brought any food to share as you will still be most welcome. SHUTTLE SHUFFLE FESTIVAL Today is the last day of the Shuttle Shuffle Festival, when music events will continue to take place in Little Germany and here at the Cathedral. For tickets and more details go to www.shuttleshuffle.co.uk THE STITCHING GROUP meets on Tuesday at 1pm to continue its amazing work in the kneelers and textiles of the Cathedral. New people are always welcome to join with them and there are new and exciting projects on the horizon to keep the group occupied for many, many more months. If you would like more information please get in touch with Jill Wright on 01535 634526 KEEPING IN TOUCH - If you'd like something in September's magazine, or have any feedback about any of the editions, please e-mail kit@bradfordcathedral.org or hand it in to the Cathedral Office by this coming Wednesday 21 August. TURN OF THE WHEEL the Artspace exhibition in the North Transept is by David Worsley, our Head Verger, who was a potter before his appointment here at the Cathedral. The pieces are available to buy and if you are interested in one please see David or contact the Cathedral Office. Any pieces will then be reserved for collection at the end of the exhibition. REARRANGED SEATING As mentioned in the July edition of Keeping in Touch, we will be experimenting, throughout the month of September, with revised seating in the nave and a nave altar. The choir and clergy will also be in seats in the nave. This is to discover whether or not the choir is better able to lead the congregation in singing from their revised position. During this experimental month, we will be seeking your views on your experience. Canon Paul
UNDERCLIFFE CEMETERY RE-DEDICATION OF MASS GRAVE, St PETER’S, BRADFORD A few months ago the Cathedral raised £750 to restore the mass grave at Undercliffe Cemetery that contains remains of those who were moved from here at the end of the 19th century when Church Bank was created. This grave will be re-dedicated by Dean Jerry at 2pm next Sunday 25th August and all those who supported and any others, would be very welcome to join us for this brief ceremony. Tea and biscuits will be served afterwards. VISITING CHOIR – Next Sunday we will welcome the Choir from St Oswald’s at Guiseley to our 10.15am Sung Eucharist and also to Choral Evensong at 4pm. It is always a joy to welcome new choirs to help to lead our worship whilst our own Choir is on its annual summer break, so do come along and support them if you can. SUMMER SERMON SERIES During the summer weeks to the end of August we shall be offering a series of sermons and reflections on Sundays, based on the lectionary readings. (At 8.00am / 10.15am) 11th August to 25th August The Letter to the Hebrews (Chapters 11+12) (At 4.00pm) 11th August to 25th August The Second Letter to the Corinthians ( Selected texts) ALPHA starts on Wednesday 11th September and we are looking for volunteers to help with food and hospitality and with hosting the event. If you are interested and can offer one or more weeks, then please speak to Canon Mandy or one of the Community Committee. ALPHA - who will you invite? The course will be held every Wednesday in the autumn term starting on 11th September between 5pm and 7pm. Do come along and invite someone to come along with you – all are welcome. For more details, please speak to Canon Mandy. THE SIXTEEN Tickets are still available for the concert by The Sixteen on Saturday 14th September and can be booked on bradford-cathedral.ticketlight.co.uk or by calling 0161 8321111. The Sixteen is an internationally renowned group and we are privileged to have them here at the Cathedral during our Centenary Year, when we are assured of a spectacular evening of music.
STEELEYE SPAN We are also privileged to have been chosen as a venue for Steeleye Span as part of their 50th Anniversary Tour. Steeleye Span are an English folk rock band formed in 1969. Still active today, they are amongst the best known acts of the British folk revival, and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat". The concert will take place here in the Cathedral on Friday 29th November and tickets (£28 and £26) are now on sale. These can be obtained from either the Bradford Theatres’ Booking Offices in either St George’s Hall or the Alhambra, by ringing the Booking Office on 01274 432000 or on line at https://www.bradford-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/steeleye-span-in-concert ECO EXTRAVAGANZA Bradford Cathedral’s first Eco Extravaganza will take place on 19th October and we are looking for a large team of volunteers to help throughout the day. There are openings in the hospitality, set up and take-down and welcome teams and if you are able to help please speak to Canon Mandy, Phil Lickley, one of the Eco Group or let the Cathedral Office know. DONATIONS BOX Have you noticed the Cathedral’s new donations box by the North door? We have been considering a special box for donations for quite some time as we are very often asked by visitors where they can put a donation. The existing slot in the blue safe in the shop area is not particularly visible and we are hoping that by having a designated box, which states how much it costs to run/open the Cathedral each day, it will help people to give to us should they wish to do so. SPRING BULBS We are wanting to enhance the West End garden area and at Messy Harvest on 29 September, we are aiming to plant as many Spring flowering bulbs as possible to add a splash of colour in the Spring. We are wanting particularly crocus and snowdrops and if you are able to donate any we would be most grateful. They can be given to Canon Mandy or left in the Cathedral Office. Thank you. MICHELLE SIMPSON would like to thank everyone who sponsored her on her Coast to Coast cycle ride in aid of the Sue Ryder Manorlands and Wheatfields Hospices. The final amount raised, which will be divided between the two hospices, was £1680.50 of which £471.25 was from Cathedral people, and she would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their support, which was a huge encouragement to her. TOILETRIES Now that we are fully into the holiday season, please remember to collect the unused mini toiletries that hotels and guest houses put out for guests, as these can be used by Inn Churches when they start their winter programme. They can be brought into the Cathedral Office and Inn Churches will collect them from us. Thank you
