Services during August in the Parish
Weekly News – w/c 16th July
PLEASE PRAY with thanks for the perseverance and bravery of all those involved in the rescue of the boys and their coach from the flooded caves in Thailand, and for the family and friends of the Navy Seal who lost his life. Sometimes we are called to put others before ourselves, whatever the consequence. Help us to be brave and to persevere.
READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 6, 14-29 – God gave us a conscience. Let us pray that we are able to listen to it and act upon it, even if that means not going along with the crowd.

Carols in the Park
An absolutely magical night at Carols in the Park. Over 600+ came on a beautiful calm night. What can go wrong when Meltham and Meltham Mills Band plays, Meltham Community Choir sings, Richard Whiteley comperes, the Meltham School Choir sings and the glorious grace of God binds it all together! Fabulous community support!
