Charity for September/ October – Community Awareness Prayer and Praise Group We are an ecumenical group who meet on a Thursday evening at various members’ homes. It is a “light hearted” group who discuss a Christian reading, sing songs (some of them new) and pray about any item of concern. It is not a Bible study group.

Who not join us to meet new people, learn more about the Christian faith and enjoy fellowship. Transport can be arranged should you not have access to a car. Please see John or Wendy for further details.

Men’s Night Please note this group meets in the East Ardsley Conservative Club 7.30 / 7.45 on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. The next meeting will be 10th October. All welcome.

Volunteer cleaning of Church

On Friday, 10th October, at 7.30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Community Hall, Bruntcliffe, Morley there will be an ‘Autumn Bounty’ evening with Graham Porter (Radio Leeds Gardener). Tickets are £5 including light refreshments from Hazel Rennison for Christian Aid.

Would any of you be willing to consider helping to clean the Church for a couple of hours (say) once a fortnight perhaps. If there is enough of us to form a team, we may even consider a rota.

Many thanks for your consideration. Please see Kath (Barker) Prayer Thought For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6: 14, 15.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU. There is a Prayer meeting every Wednesday, in Church, 7.30 – 8.30 p.m. All welcome.
