CALDER VALE METHODIST (cont) calls; I’ll think about it; Certainly a possibility; Let’s come back to that; Good idea; Maybe it’s on my list; I’ll look into it. Be careful how you answer any request or maybe nothing will get done. On the other Sundays in January we meet at Calder Vale at 10:45 am for Sunday morning Worship. CAMEO will meet on Fri 21st Jan at 2:00pm. Why not come and join us for a cuppa, cake and chat? Our take away Friday lunches continue in the New Year. Please ring me to book one. After the business of December perhaps we need to stop a moment. This is a prayer written by a lady from a church at Clitheroe. ‘Stop a moment and say a prayer for our broken world; Stop a moment and give thanks that we are not alone; Stop a moment and let God speak to you; Stop a moment and listen. It may not shout over the dire news on the television; It may not come on the telephone in a cold call; It may not be seen on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook; but in a still small voice only you can hear; so stop a moment; Stop.’ I think she wrote this many years ago but it is still relevant today. Our prayer is that 2022 will bring good news and good health, please take care and stay safe. Edith Gorst 01995 602078
