This is indeed the strangest of times. I am missing travelling around our diocese and getting to know you better as I visit as many schools as my diary allows. I look forward to when this will be possible again. As I said in my letter to schools before Easter as a Diocesan education team we are so proud of you all and how you are continuing to serve local children and families during this period. Although we are in the midst of a pandemic and it has currently May the road rise to meet changed all our lives, we have made a determined effort to present good news stories you, and information to you in this schools’ Summer newsletter. May the wind be always at The Christian faith is founded on the Good News that God is in control. The Bible is your back, littered with encouraging verses and passages. Psalm 91 is such a passage. It is natural to feel anxious or worried, even as adults, but can I encourage you to focus on May the sun shine warm God’s words when these feelings start to take control? This period of isolation and upon your face, social distancing may continue for a little while yet and we may be tempted to rely on The rains fall soft upon our own strength.

Louise was able to spend time at with staff and pupils in some of our schools and also visited the Ethos Market Place event at Bolton parish church. It was great to have Louise with us because it also meant I got to spend time in school too! We enjoyed being led in collective worship by pupils at St Peter’s CE Primary, Ashton- Under-Lyne and chatting with them afterwards to learn more about how they lead in school. Louise was able to meet lots of different ethos groups at the market place event before going on to Bishop Bridgeman CE Primary School, Bolton to meet with members of the Ethos Group there. The next morning, we joined St Mary’s CE Primary, Prestwich for school Eucharist and then finally Louise visited St Wellbeing Retreat Day Bartholomew’s CE Primary, Westhoughton to find out more about the children Changing Places Project.

  • “We Exist to Receive and Share the Love of God”
    “We exist to receive and share the love of God” Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers as I continue on this physical journey of 309 miles and we spiritually journey together in prayer to Lindisfarne. I have been very grateful for the prayerful support of those whose holy sites I have visited this week. At the end of last week I had physically walked to and prayed around Lees New Road, Alt Hill Lane and the Oldham to Ashton Greenway cycle path, the Ashton to Oldham Greenway Cycle Path to Alexandra Park and back, Knot Hill Reservoir, Hollingworth Lake and Hurst Cemetery. I walked a total of 26.73 miles bringing the total walked to 247.79 miles. I started last week spiritually walking towards St Peter’s Monkwearmouth, after arriving there I went on to arrive at St Paul’s Jarrow and then Newcastle Cathedral, and began the journey to St Cuthbert’s Bedlington which was 4.31 miles away. This week I have physically walked and prayed along High Crompton, Burnedge, Milnrow, Newhey and Shaw, Hurst Cemetery (twice), Dove Stones Reservoir on an imaginative journey around Lake Galilee with Revd’s Penny and David Warner of Stalybridge and Mossley, and again on another occasion simply walking and praying on my own and a blustery walk around Hollingworth Lake. As the new week begins…I spiritually reach St Cuthbert’s Bedlington and begin the spiritual journey to Alnmouth Friary 2.87 miles away. I hope that you will continue to walk with me on this spiritual pilgrimage and that you will make use of this booklet in your prayer over the coming week.

  • The Ordination of Deacons
    The Ordination of Deacons The Bishop of Manchester Manchester Cathedral The Bishop of Bolton Bolton Parish Church The Bishop of Middleton Oldham Parish Church Wednesday 23 September 2020 Welcome to Manchester Cathedral Ordinations during the pandemic Ordinations are times of great joy, not only for those being ordained, but for the whole Church giving thanks to God for the ministers he has called. That joy is undiminished this year, but sadly cannot be shared by a large congregation. Government regulations, rightly concerned to protect everyone’s health, limit attendance to 30. Those present at the service are therefore representative of many others who are today praying God’s blessing upon those made deacon, and who look forward with expectation to their new ministries. It is not only numbers which are limited in order for today’s service to be “covid secure”. For instance, there can be no singing. Those attending are also required to observe the following: • face masks are to be worn at all times (except when receiving Communion); • hand sanitiser is made available to be used on arrival and departure; • the congregation must remain seated in their allocated places; • all direct interaction is to be avoided with those not in your household or bubble, maintaining a two-metre distance; • Communion will be distributed in one kind (i.e. bread alone): hand sanitiser will be available, and must be used should there be accidental contact with the hand of the administer of Communion • the congregation should leave directly after the service, maintaining a two-metre distance and without interacting with others inside or outside, taking this order of service with them.

  • Short History of the Parish
    St. Thomas’s Church, Bedford C ENTENARY OCTOBER 12th, 1940 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND PARISH COMPILED BY The Rev. G. WILLETT, M.A. VICAR OF BEDFORD / PRICE 1 - ST. THOMAS’S CHURCH, BEDFORD CENTENARY OCTOBER 12th, 1940 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND PARISH “Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house : and the place where Thine honour dwelleth,” – Psalm xxvi, 8 COMPILED BY The Rev. G. WILLETT, M.A. VICAR OF BEDFORD THE LORD BISHOP OF MANCHESTER THE RIGHT REV, GUY WARMAN, D.D. Foreword N November, 1922, the late Vicar wrote in the Parish Sheet of his intention, if possible, of writing a short history of Bedford Parish. Mr. Lawton was then in his 67th year, and this fact, I added to the charge of a large parish, prevented him from carrying out his wishes. The duty has fallen on his successor, the present Vicar, who has done his best at what has been a difficult but very happy task. The old Parish Sheets, written by the late Vicar, and dating back to 1894, have been a mine of information, and in addition, I have been fortunate in having easy access to the old Deeds of the Parish, the old Registers, old Minute Books, and other similar sources. I should like to express my thanks to the following: - To the Lord Bishop of Manchester for his encouraging message in this book. To Mr. Arthur Mee for permission to include his description of Bedford Church from his book entitled “Lancashire,” and to the Publishers, Messrs.

  • “We Exist to Receive and Share the Love of God”
    “We exist to receive and share the love of God” Revd Liz writes… On Monday 25th May the church celebrated the Venerable Bede, who wrote the most complete History of Christian England up the year 729. He was born in Northumbria in 670 and at the age of 7 he was given to the monastery of St Peter and St Paul at Wearmouth. He then moved to Jarrow where he lived as a monk for the rest of his life. After I said Morning Prayer on Monday remembering St Bede I set out on a walk to pray. As I walked up the hill to Harsthead Pike from Knott Hill Reservoir an idea emerged in my head almost fully formed! I have been worrying about how church will be when we return and how people are being spiritually fed without us not being able to gather for the Eucharist as we love to do and I have been worrying about how church will be able to pay our way without our usual fundraising efforts. I have been offering these worries to God in prayer. The idea of a sponsored walk combined with a Virtual Pilgrimage to Lindisfarne, a place I love and have a deep spiritual connection with, seemed to be an answer to prayer for some of those worries at least. Sponsored Walk I will physically walk 300 miles around the area between Pentecost, 31 May and St Aidan’s Day, 31 August and this walk and challenge will be sponsored for the work of St John the Evangelist Hurst.

  • CHRIST CHURCH, WALSHAW HARVEST MAGAZINE, September 2017
    CHRIST CHURCH, WALSHAW HARVEST MAGAZINE, September 2017 CHRIST CHURCH HAS A NEW WEB PRESENCE The eagle-eyed will notice that the footers at the bottom of pages 2-7 include a new address for Christ Church’s principal web presence. The front page gives access to up-to-date information about what’s going on and also provides links to Twitter and Facebook. Both social media are proving very popular indeed. ANOTHER WEB PRESENCE @ CCW Amidst all the mission activity at Christ Church, it’s reassuring to know that just occasionally, things can stay as they are. In a building like ours, access is sometimes an issue so that things can lie undisturbed for weeks, month, years and even decades. Very recently, members of the fellowship discovered a cobweb – pictured right – measuring a couple of feet across. Whilst there was no evidence of the resident spider, there were one or two rather red faces amongst members of the cleaning team! CONFIRMATION PARTY ARCHDEACON DAVID TO RETIRE On 2 July, five members of the fellowship were confirmed at a service held at Christ Church, Harwood. Proceedings were led by the Right Revd Mark Ashcroft, Bishop of Bolton, who is pictured here [centre], together with the Revd Steve Openshaw and the party of confirmands. The Archdeacon of Bolton, The Ven David Bailey, is to retire at the end of this year, after serving nine years as archdeacon in the Diocese of Manchester and 37 years in ordained ministry. He took up the post of Archdeacon of STREET PASTORS Bolton in November 2008; having previously been Vicar of Beverley Minster.
