Room to Grow From September this year for an experimental period until next summer we will have two morning services, one at 9.30 and one at 11.30. The children’s work will be at 11.30 which will include live worship. This means there will be no evening worship, but we are holding monthly “events” which will cover a wide range of topical, and outreach events. For further information see the website or pick up the information on the welcome desk.

Holiday Club 07 This year’s Holiday Club will take place on 13th to the 17th August and will be called ‘Waste Watchers’ and is aimed at children aged 5-11 years. Gavin will need a team of volunteers to help with the preparation and running of the Holiday Club. There will be a team meeting on Tuesday 5th June in the church at 7.00 pm to discuss and plan the week.

The Mission 07 This year’s Mission Week will take place on 23rd to the 26th October and will be headlined by top rock band Verra Cruz. Gavin will need a lot of help to aid in the many jobs that need to be done when organising a large scale event like ‘The Mission’. The first team meeting will take place on Wednesday 30th May at 7.00 pm in the church.

Flowers We need someone to help Pat with the church flowers for approximately one hour on a Saturday morning, no experience necessary, please see Barbara or Pat Perry.

Brass Cleaning We need extra people to help clean the brasses in church, at the moment we only have one brass cleaner. For more information see Barbara or Christine Steels.

All The Saints 2007 All the Saints has been rescheduled to a one day event of celebration, blessing, praise and thanksgiving on Sunday 10th June 2007. Come along and bring your family and friends to join the fun. A poster and timetable are on the notice board and invitations to give to family and friends are on the welcome desk. Our worship team are leading the worship together with Grimethorpe Colliery band. In view of this there will be no evening service on this day.

Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir In their early summer concert this year the Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir presents the oratorio ‘ELIJAH’ by Mendelssohn, on Saturday 23rd June in Huddersfield Town Hall at 7.30 pm.

After ‘Messiah’, ‘ELIJAH’ is perhaps the most popular and well known of the scripture based works and commands large musical forces to do it justice. It tells of the several dramatic incidents in the life of the mighty prophet Elijah (‘he that troubleth Israel’) as recorded in the Old Testament. It begins from his pronouncement of the great drought as Israel’s punishment for disobedience and takes in the raising of the widows son, his dramatic but rather amusing (not for them however!) victory over the prophets of Baal on mount Horeb and the end of the drought, his escape from Jezabel, and finally his journey into heaven by fiery chariot. It’s powerful stuff, and Mendelssohn’s tuneful and often dramatic music and orchestration makes for an inspirational event.

Because of the scale of the work it is being performed in Huddersfield Town Hall and you have to get tickets from the box office (01484 223200). It’s a little further to travel than usual but comfortable seats when you get there! (Also watch out for the spectacular brass and voices concert on 14th July—notice soon).
