Please take a pebble. A small initiative of #RealLove on Good Friday in Meltham on our Greenway. 400 stones have been painted by Christians in Meltham. They all have a heart- personally designed by the artist – and are a reminder that the Easter message is – Jesus loves us without limits. You’ll find them in #Meltham down on the greenway. Please take one home or to give to others. You may even want to hide them elsewhere for others to find!
The four Church of England churches within the Meltham Parish have all decorated a tree and a cross outside. Please stop by and take a look.
Good Friday reflection – Crucified God, you suffer with and for your people: in these lonely times of deep distress sharpen our sense of your accompanying presence. Amen.
A reminder that their is a service at St Bartholomew’s this afternoon at 3pm featuring readings and musical excerpts from Stainer’s Crucifixion and Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary sung by 3 soloists. It can also be viewed live on YouTube hopefully using this link:

There will be a special Good Friday service at the Cross featuring readings and musical items taken from Stainer’s Crucifixion and Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (which have usually been performed on this day for many years now). We cannot unfortunately yet have a full choir singing at this times, but are able to have 3 soloists singing the musical items telling the story.
The service will take place at St Bartholomew’s Church Meltham at 3pm and will also be available (hopefully live) via the Parish YouTube channel:

PLEASE NOTE!
The usual social distancing and hygiene measures will be in place including the wearing of face coverings. We will also need to ensure that we do not exceed the now reduced seating capacity to ensure appropriate distancing can be maintained. Should turnout be high, we may need to ask people to return home and watch join via YouTube to ensure everyone’s safety (though we hope this is not the case).
