PLEASE PRAY for our young people and their teachers as they break up from school and colleges for the summer break. Pray they will be safe and have an opportunity to rest and come back in September rejuvenated. God of play, God of learning – help us to follow you.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Luke 10, 25-37
We all know the parable of the Good Samaritan. Help us to know our neighbours – next door and all over the world and shown them love them, as God loves us.

ASK MELTHAM Meltham Town Council, in conjunction with Kirklees Council, are conducting an ASK MELTHAM exercise in the next few weeks. Jean Caunce, a member of St James’ congregation is a volunteer helping to collect data. Over the coming weeks she may approach you during coffee after a service to ask a few questions. What you say will be anonymous. Hopefully you’ll be happy to help so we can work to make Meltham an even better place to live.
