TRINITY CHURCH HONLEY Newsletter September 2015 New Minister moves in Rev Helen Roberts, our new Methodist Circuit minister, moved into a new manse in Honley on August 5th. Find out more on page 3 The New Manse— 7 Mullion Avenue, Honley. Fabric Committee does a good preparation j ob. By Linda Craven Stephen Craven, Fabric Committee member, was asked in March if he would like to go along, with some members of the Huddersfield Methodist Circuit, to visit the ‘New Manse’; and meet our new minister Rev. Helen Roberts. Notes were made then of what needed to be done prior to Helen moving in. This list seemed very long at the time! Church Treasurer Hilary Turner asked if Steve would like the position of Project Manager. After a little thought we both said ‘Yes’ and so our journey began! Fifteen different suppliers and tradesmen were contacted, plus Steve himself and Peter Stephenson as the ‘Odd Job Men’, for which a very big thank you for all the hard work they have put in. We enjoyed the challenge of finding these tradesmen, who couldn’t have been more helpful, bending over backwards to help us complete the work within a six week time scale. If anyone needs a good tradesman for a job I have a list; all of them are to be recommended!

The Minister’s Column Rev Helen Roberts writes

Arriving in a community as the new minister is a daunting thing; following in the footsteps of all who have gone before, yet not having the same shape feet to step into their shoes. With the images of last month’s newsletter of Rev Tim’s exploits with water and eggs and goodness knows what other tricks and talents I couldn’t possibly emulate – follow that! Well I can’t, at least not in that way; I come as who I am, different to Tim just as the churches I have left behind will find

their new minister to be very different ent, learning to let each one’s gifts to me! and abilities develop and bloom. I am not a great gardener but even I realWe are all unique – all bearing the ised that what was growing from the image of God yet ‘wonderfully made’ half price pack of Lily of the Valley in huge diversity and variety.

A bit of background about Helen. This was written by her for last December’s issue. By the time I j oin you I will be the grand age of 40 – the age they say life begins, well my Yorkshire life at any rate. I grew up in South Wales and have mostly lived within Wales until training for ministry in Birmingham and then 6 years in the Marches– the English side of the Welsh borders– with churches in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire. My family, parents and two sisters, are still based in South Wales; I was the only one to fly far from the nest and I have since flown to a range of places with experiences of living and being church: Australia (6 months), Zambia (3 Months) and most recently North Carolina, USA, for a 6 week ministerial exchange. I am a creative person and dabble in a range of crafty hobbies – preferably ones that take less patience and precision. Currently that involved turning empty bottles and windows into bowls with my kiln. The creative edge comes to church life too and I love to see new options and possibilities for how we serve the community and connect with people. Joining you in the Huddersfield Circuit will be new territory for me – I gather I may need some local v ocab. aids or I may end up with the w rong teacakes – but I am looking forward to getting to know you and the community you serv e.

Lobbyists in London for Climate Change Surfers, beekeepers, nurses, anglers, friars, grandparents, faith leaders and farmers. All descended on Westminster on the 17th June to lobby their MPs on climate change. More than 10,000 people attended the event, organised by the Climate Coalition. Lobbyists stretched from the Houses of Parliament to Lambeth Palace, hoping to speak with their MPs. The day started with a choice of two services at St Margaret’s or the Emmanuel Centre, both attended by the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt. Revd Nicholas Holtam who said: “Climate change is not just our individual concern. It is our Christian concern together as the church. It is the concern of people of all faiths. The world is our home.” Following the services, lobbyists flocked to meet their MPs who were transported out to their constituents on a flotilla of rickshaws. Jeremy Corbyn, a candidate for the Labour leadership stated that, if elected to lead the Labour Party, he would work on setting the issue of sustainability into policy change. The lobby culminated in a rally on Millbank, hosted by comedian Arthur Smith, Around 350 MPs were lobbied. It is hoped that they will take on board the concern shown by so many of their constituents on the issue of climate change. Source: Christian Aid. Online. June 2015

Wider worship 1 A Church in China Marina Woodhead

In June, I went to China with some Christians from various Chinese Methodist congregations in the UK. We visited some churches and Christian organisations in Shanghai and in some cities in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces. What I saw and learnt exceeded my expectations. On the last Sunday of our trip, we were at Hangzhou city, the capital of Zhejiang Province, with a population of approximately 9 million. Hangzhou is world famous for the beautiful West Lake. However, it was the visit to Chongyi Church (pictured) which will remain in my memory for a while. Chongyi Church is the largest church in Hangzhou and is also one of the largest in China. Its sanctuary has a capacity for 5,000 people, with a

multi-purpose building for offices and other Christian activities. It is conveniently located near a big shopping mall. Inside, the worship area resembles a huge modern conference centre, complete with a big stage and screens, state-of-art acoustics, and even sign language facilities. It is similar to any evangelical mega-church seen in other parts of the world. For one and a half hours, we joined some 5000 people in lively worship and praise. We listened to an uplifting sermon with the theme ‘Lord, I want to see’, and we shared the Holy Communion. I can only stand in awe and marvel at the wonders of what God has done: I have heard so much about the rapid growth in the number of Christians and churches in China. But nothing prepared me for what I experienced that Sunday …as I witnessed what happened at Chongyi Church… People of all ages – young and old came not grudgingly, but with expectation, joy and vitality…and they left satisfied, having been well fed spiritually. And this is just one of many churches in China that is filled with worshippers every Sunday and even on weekdays… Yes, there are challenges facing churches in China. But…where weren’t there challenges for churches down the centuries? May the Lord continue to bless His work in China and guide His workers there!

Schmittenhohe Jean Wood & Karen Stannard Sunday morning 28 th June; a very different location to our usual Sunday. We are at the 2000m summit of the Schmittenhohe mountain in the Austrian Alps, high above Lake Zellar. There before us is a beautiful but small chapel. Typically Austrian, it is built of wood and known as the Elizabethan chapel. Planned during 1904 / 05 as a memorial to the Empress Elizabeth, it was designed by an architect in Salzburg and built by a carpenter and mason from Zell am See.

The chapel was consecrated on the 10 th Anniversary of the death of the Empress but is no longer used for services. Just to stand and look all around at God’s glorious creation is truly awe inspiring. What a wonderful experience!

And coming this month! Trinity Away Day—on Saturday September 12th at Birdsedge A notice from Di Harris, Jane Armitage and Marion Bainbridge This year we are off to Birdsedge Methodist Church for a day of fellowship and fun. The approximate cost will be £10– depending on the number of participants. The day will start at 9.30am with a 'welcoming' coffee and finish around 3.30-4.00pm with a 'farewell' cup of tea. Lunch will be provided by the good people at Birdsedge. The day will be led by local preacher Barbara Rochester (right) on the theme 'Opening the Treasure'. She says “We will be following God’s treasure trail, exploring our faith and having fun as we try 'new things' together.” Please, please think seriously about taking time away to meet with your fellow church members for what assuredly will be a great day. We hope to see you there! Di, Jane and Marion.

Greetings from the Isles of Scilly

Margaret Sheppard & Marion Bainbridge

Steve & Linda Craven Stephen and I spent a week in June on these wonderful islands – just a 15 minute flight from Lands End to St Mary’s (the largest island). There are 5 inhabited islands with a population between them of only 2,200. It is like stepping back in time – where no one seems to lock their front doors and children can run freely (some islands have no cars) so they feel very safe. Crime is just about non-existent, what an idyllic life for a policeman. We stayed in a small flat opposite the Methodist Chapel, so there was no excuse not to partake of the Sunday service. Their minister is Charlie Gibbs and we were given a warm welcome with coffee afterwards where we met other visitors, some of them had returned over 30 times; we have been four. Charlie gives talks every Thursday evening about his life on the islands aptly named “ Scilly Tales”. He told us about when he arrived on the island, by the Scillonian Ferry, along with his chattels and beloved old Land Rover. At the end of the day he asked for the manse key to be told “there has never been one” and so after being there for 7 years he has never locked his door!! He showed us some beautiful slides of the stunning scenery, pure white beaches and the numerous wildlife on the islands. One of the pictures was of the local policeman who he called ‘Laptop’. “Why Laptop” someone asked. Answer, “Because he was a small PC!”

On July 5th, Marion Bainbridge and I went to London to watch the finale of The World Congress of The Salvation Army which was a march down the Mall. The Congress was to celebrate 150 years since William Booth, with his wife Catherine, founded The Salvation Army, outside The Blind Beggar public house in the East End of London. 15,000 Salvationists from 126 countries descended upon London for a week of activities which were based in the O2 arena with some sessions led by General Andre Cox – the 20th General of The Salvation Army. The March down The Mall consisted of 2,500 specially chosen Salvationists. They included 6 Staff bands from various countries, each band followed by a timbrel band of about 30. They were followed by a group of the flags from the 126 countries and the flags were followed by a group Salvationists from those countries. It was very moving to see the group of Salvationist from Pakistan as I had heard the Territorial Commander of that country say, earlier in the week,” It isn’t easy being a Christian in Pakistan” ......but they had just sent 1000 tents to Nepal, apart from their other work in that country. Many Salvationists from various countries had been unable to attend the Congress as they were unable to get visas. General Cox took the salute on the Victoria Memorial and the procession was accompanied, at intervals, by Guardsmen who are also Salvationists.

Cornwall idyll Glenys Pallister I came across an amazing little church whilst on holiday in Cornwall recently. Some of you may perhaps have visited this unique setting where St Just-in-Roseland Church is situated, and will almost certainly have been struck by the sense of peace and beauty which is evident, as the church nestles alongside St Just Pool on the edge of the river Fal. The church was built at the turn of the 13 th century and every year thousands of people from all over the world come to visit this enchanting place in its idyllic location, two miles out from St Mawes. The beautiful sub tropical gardens have been an inspiration for many visitors, and a legend says that Joseph of Arimathea may have brought Jesus ashore here. Whether that is true or not, many people do feel the presence of God at this church and in its gardens. It certainly is an inspiring place of pilgrimage.
