You will be able to buy things from our Fairtrade Stall so do come along for a fun day and find out things we can all do to make a change and difference to our world.
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 have a word with whoever is on the stall today or speak to Jane Tarver or let Sandra Heaton in the Cathedral Office know. SARAH MAYBURY writes: Thank you so much for all the love, support and prayers that you have shown, given and offered up to God for me over this past three years of Lay Reader training. Saturday’s licensing was the culmination of many highs and lows; thank you to all of you who could share with me in the joy of the celebration. I will be serving in the parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham, but will see you on Sundays at 10.15am at the cathedral on the third Sunday of the month. Blessings. Sarah 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!! EVENTS 2020: We are currently planning our events for next year and would like your input on what you think has gone well or could be improved, as well as events you'd like to see next year. If you have any thoughts please e-mail them to events@bradfordcathedral.org or see Phil after the service on Sunday 13th October. 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.
