Prayers 1 STORIES ACKWORTH Was that who I thought it was? A cold December morning saw the arrival of some surprising guests in Ackworth Mary and Joseph, together with their donkeys, arrived in Ackworth around 9:00am looking for somewhere to stay. They were to be seen walking around the streets, and through the Co-op car park. Causing many a second look from passing drivers and dog walkers! They visited Bell Lane Academy, where the nursery and reception children were treated to a description from Joseph about how difficult their journey had been. Followed by the opportunity to feed the donkeys with some carrots. They were then seen walking towards Hemsworth, and calling in at Oakfield Park School, where all the students turned out to see them. After lunch they made an appearance at the schools Christmas concert at St Cuthbert’s Church, in the middle of the children’s nativity. One of the donkeys was not particularly well behaved, but Joseph was able, once again, tell of the difficult journey he and Mary had had. Then some- one shouted from the back of church that a place had been found for them. And so they disappeared. But everyone at that concert was able to see the donkeys once more. This was a memorable event for all involved. A big thank you to Mark Ineson and Craig, at Real Donkeys, (www.realdonkeys.com) and also Ash and Jackie, for showing us what it was really like to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Reverend Paul Fox ST STEPHEN’S, EAST HARDWICK A Barn Service was held on Sunday 20th December at Berrill Farm in Hundhill. The service is held each year and families, horses and other animals gather to sing Carols and share festive refreshments. This year over 100 people attended with 42 horses. A collection was taken and £276 pounds was raised for the Brooke Animal Hospital. Reverend Shelagh Stacey ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, ROYSTON Between 50 and 60 children demonstrated their creative talents at a Messy Church that was run in conjunction with a St Nicholas Fayre in Church on Saturday, December 5. It was something of an experiment as, for many years, an Autumn Fayre and Grand Draw has been held in the Church School Hall. Although there has always been a wide variety of stalls, there has been little opportunity for youngsters to be actively involved. Attendance has also declined in recent years and so it was decided to give the event a new look, which proved a great success both socially and financially. There was a good selection of colourful stalls and appetising refreshments and people came along in numbers to enjoy all the fun and soak up the wonderful atmosphere. All the children were asked to remove their shoes when they came into Church and they were soon absorbed in the many activities that had been arranged for them, as well as looking for - and finding- St Nicholas himself (Fr Matt looked very fetching!). When the time came for the children to leave and they went to collect their shoes, they found them full of sweets - left of course by St Nicholas. Sheila Monaghan, Church Warden, Royston 2 BBC Radio Leeds comes to Ackworth The Thursday Coffee Morning at All Saints Church on 17th December was a different and busy affair. Mainly because Richard Stead from BBC Radio Leeds broadcast his Morning Show from All Saints Church. After a few email exchanges, and a meeting to check the sound, the scene was set. The van with satellite dish arrived at 7:30am, Richard the engineer was setting up the equipment, closely followed by Emma and Jane, the producers of the show, and Richard the presenter. First thing was breakfast, from the local sandwich shop. As the morning progressed, Richard interviewed several people from our congregations, and coffee morning staff, together with people who performed during the morning, namely the Featherstone Male Voice Choir, and the Ackworth Hand Bell Ringers, together with Mrs Ward, Head Teacher at Bell Lane Academy with two children from year 6. He even found his old French teacher from high school in the choir, who baffled him with some French! He was also challenged to take up the heaviest of the bells and ring a change with them. Done admirably, to a round of applause. It was a good morning, and enjoyed by all. Reverend Paul Fox Darrington Collective Worship Committee Bishop’s Rap When Bishop Tony went to We are DCWC and we would like to say thank you to our Bishop Darrington Church the children and parents were for being here today. delighted to meet him. We’ve learnt about the special hat he wears upon his head The children from the local school performed a it shows us that he leads our church rap they had written. to live like Jesus said. The staff he carries at his side is like a shepherd’s crook we are his flock, he cares for us and shows us where to look for comfort, help and guidance inside our Holy book. The cross he wears around his neck reminds us all of Jesus. And we must try to live each day. The way that Jesus teaches! 50TH ANNIVERSARY On December 8th the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady, Bishop Tony presided at a Eucharist at St Peter's Church, Horbury. At this service, Sister Phyllis of the Community of St Peter, Horbury, celebrated the 50th Anniversary of her Profession and renewed her Vows. After the service refreshments were served. These had been lovingly prepared by members of the parish family. Sister Phyllis and all the Community are very grateful to Bishop Tony, Father Brian, Father Andreas and all the parish for making this such a special occasion. This is the first time that a 50th Anniversary Celebration has taken place in the Parish Church. Canon John Sharp, Vicar of Horbury, was a co-founder of the Community of St Peter in the middle of the 19th Century. Sister Phyllis 3 St Paul’s Church, Old Town Barnsley Celebrating 80 years of serving the community Anyone visiting Barnsley is likely to have seen St Paul’s Church, particularly if they have an appointment at the General Hospital. It stands close by and is easily distinguished by its green dome. When it was first built the ‘Byzantine’ appearance of the building and the dome did cause some speculation as to what the building might be. In fact, many people thought it was a mosque. In 1964 a cross was placed on top of the dome thus making it quite clear that this was a Christian church. As early as 1600 a Curacy House, belonging to St Mary’s Church, stood on the site of the present Zion Methodist Church, but it wasn’t until 1887 that a Sunday School was established in a two-roomed cottage in School Street. By 1890, when the Methodists built their Chapel in Cutty Lane, the Church had purchased the “Old Church” from them. This had two rooms; the larger one was used for church services and the smaller for the Sunday School, social activities and as a vestry. This building was dedicated on 18th December, 1894, by Wakefield’s first Bishop, the Right Reverend William Walsham How. By 1907 it was realised that a new St Paul’s Church would eventually be needed to minister to the area’s growing population. After many trials and tribulations the building of the present church was begun. Fund raising, then as now, was a huge problem. In the 1930s, during the Curacy of the Reverend W.

Key facts: Can you explain what an object from the past might have been used for? Can you spot old and new things in a picture? A loom is a device used to weave. The purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads in place, to facilitate the weaver weaving the weft threads through them. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the purpose is the same. Can you describe a significant place from the past in your own locality? Can you find things out about the past by talking to an older person? Harry was born in Bradford in 1888, fish and chip frying was a family business. He bought premises at White Cross which had formerly been the Silver Badge Cafe at a cost of £150, opening for business on 20th December 1928. He was so successful that 3 years later he built his "palace", based on the opulence of the Ritz Hotel, he installed fitted carpets, oak paneled walls and crystal chandeliers.

    MENSTON NEWS ISSUE NUMBER 130 www.menston.org Summer 2021 Misson Statement of Menston Community Association: To unite the village through community-driven engagement, communications, events and experiences in order to enhance the wellbeing, inclusivity and amenities of the community for its residents. WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF MENSTON NEWS, THE NEWSLETTER OF MENSTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION The sky on our front cover reflects the unsettled weather we have had of late and also perhaps the uncertain period in front of us this summer. We shall miss the tranquility of plane-free skies and less busy roads, the crescendo of bird song and the solidarity so many of us have felt from collective clapping and community initiatives to support our more vulnerable residents. But we can still resolve to change things for the better. Photo courtesy of Steve Davey MENSTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION In this edition you will at last find some preliminary details of an event – a time to celebrate and reflect upon the period we have just gone through, both on a personal level and a community one. Save the date! - 17th July. Articles develop this theme and there are more walks in response to popular demand. There is much evidence that events from late adolescence are remembered best in later life. So that generation, just about to enter adulthood now, will remember these urgent times more vividly. So we need to work as a community to foster good mental health and also face the next challenge together - to stop an environmental catastrophe later this century. In this edition there are many suggestions as to how we can all play our part.
