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). Sunday 10rd June. Duty Roster If you are on duty but cannot make it then you must find a replacement. We have had a number of people recently who have failed to do this and it has caused embarrassing silences in the services, please check your rotas. Readers: John Brennan Christine Shaw. Intercessors: Mick Thrower. Welcome/Coffee Morning: Janet Robinson, Daisy Bastow, Jennifer Sanderson Anne Moran. Counting: Sally Dinsdale, Mike Child Gerry Newton.
