Weekly News – w/c Mon 13 August

Posted on: by:

PLEASE PRAY for protection over our time with God. There is so much going on around us that can distract us and take us away from spending time with Him and His word. Pray for personal time with Him to be still and untouched, so that we can draw strength and wisdom from His Spirit for each day.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 6.35,41-51
Let us not take for granted the personal and intimate relationship we can have with Jesus. Let us honour time with Him each day and be sure of the role He plays in our eternity with the Father. ‘Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has
eternal life. I am the bread of life.’ V47-48

PLEASE PRAY for peace among the church and God’s people. In times of trouble, persecution and testing of our endurance, collectively and personally, pray that we will look to Jesus and follow His example of patience and strength.

Thought for today: Remember this – you never lose as much as when you lose your peace. (Inspiration from Smith Wigglesworth 365 Day Devotional)

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 6.24-35

Remember that as it says here, God’s purpose for our lives is to believe in the One He sent – Jesus. ‘Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

Musical Theatre Concert by Michael Frith – Sun 26th August

Posted on: by:

On Sunday 26th August, a concert featuring Michael Frith and other young singers will be held in the #Meltham Church Hall – 7pm.  The concert will be an evening of theatre entertainment – show tunes old and new.  Please support Michael in his efforts to raise money for his scholarship at ARTSED in London.

Tickets are only £5 – Email: rahanafk@hotmail.com Mobile: 07792 055420

About Michael:

Hello, my name’s Michael Frith; 19 year old Huddersfield boy and actor in training. Earlier this year, I was offered a scholarship to train in musical theatre at ArtsEd (Arts Educational Schools, London). ArtsEd is a prestigious and renowned drama school, known for their success in pushing new talent out into the theatre industry. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is the president of the school and among their alumni are the likes of Julie Andrews and Bonnie Langford. There are currently twelve ArtsEd alumni in the cast of Les Miserables on the West End, including leading man; Dean Chisnall, starring as Jean Valjean.

They are very selective about their potential students at ArtsEd and very few applicants are lucky enough to get in, so I have been extremely fortunate to receive this opportunity.

This school will increase my chances of succeeding in theatre tremendously and would help me to achieve my greatest aspiration. In spite of my scholarship, I still need further help to be able to pay for rent and other living costs whilst I’m in training, so that is why I am putting on a concert at the Meltham Church Hall (Greens End Rd) to raise funds. It will be a night of theatre entertainment, show tunes old, and new.

A little bit more about me; I have been training in musical theatre, full time for the past three years. On top of that, I’ve been taking part in amateur musical productions, playing roles such as Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at the Theatre Royal, Wakefield and Jean Valjean in ‘Les Miserables’ at the Leeds Carriageworks theatre and Batley Jo Cox theatre (pictured above).

PLEASE PRAY for our leaders and for those that report the news to us. Help them to serve the world and to find creative ways though thorny issues of ideology and dogma. Please pray for us as consumers of news – that we can be wise and see through sensationalism and appreciate genuine positive intent to serve and create a better
world. And as our schools break-­up for the summer, please pray that holidays will be restful and full of love and fun and that our loved ones will return safely to us.

PLEASE PRAY for all those who work in our National Health Service as we celebrate its 70th birthday. Borrowing some words published this week by the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity Romans 13:7 says: ‘Give to everyone what you owe them: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.’ Paying taxes is an intrinsic part of discipleship, not only because it’s a legal requirement, but because in the UK our taxes are used to meet the needs of the sick, the dying, the very young, the elderly, and the disabled – care of whom is a mark of true faith (James 2:14-17). May we gladly pay our taxes as a mark of true faith to show our love for our neighbour.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 6, 1-­13
Jesus found it was challenging to be a prophet and teaching amongst his own people. Help us to find a way to share your Good News for all people in places where we can be heard.
