John hears the risen Jesus say, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ (Revelation 21.5) Lots of things are being made new in April. From Easter Day onwards, we shall be part of the new Diocese of West Yorkshire and the Dales. We shall have a new (interim) Area Bishop of Huddersfield, Tony Robinson. New people will be taking on rôles in the parish. Most importantly, God offers each of us new life in Jesus Christ, whom he raised from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus is the best news in the world, but it is news to which each of us must respond for ourselves. When we respond in faith to the claims of the risen Jesus, everything looks different. Old assumptions are challenged. Old ways of life are left behind. God fills us with his holy and life-giving Spirit as a promise that one day we shall be in his new creation. That is a promise for everyone, whoever we are and whatever we have done, whether we have been coming to church for many years or have never been to church at all. But God’s promise must first be received. Have you done that? There are so many opportunities in Honley and Brockholes to think things through and I know how helpful Alpha will have been for those who have been part of that. As I write, I have been to one of those Thursday evenings already and found it a great blessing. For your diaries, one opportunity coming up is a weekend of events organised under the auspices of New Wine: at 7.00 pm on Friday 9th May there will be a Celebration at Wakefield Cathedral, with worship and Bible teaching. Then on Saturday 10th April there will be a day of worship and teaching for all ages at All Saints’ Normanton, from 10.00 am till 4.00 pm. On Sunday 11th May there will be a special Evening Service at 6.30 pm at All Saints’ Halifax. Please do put those times in your diaries. The risen Jesus is making all things new. Liam Beadle 1 Share Prayer Making Christ’s Church We love our church, with all her limitations and all her riches too, she is our Mother. For this reason we respect her and while we do so, we dream that she will never lose her beauty. May she be: A Church where it’s good to live, Where you can breathe and say what you think. A Church of freedom. A Church which listens before speaking, which welcomes instead of judging, which forgives without wishing to condemn, which announces rather than denounces. A Church of mercy. A Church where the simplest of our brothers and sisters will understand what the others are saying, and where the wisest of leaders will know what he doesn’t know, where the people of God will be revealed in its entirety. A Church of wisdom. A Church where the Holy Spirit will be able to feel at home because everything hasn’t been foreseen, settled and decided in advance. An open Church. A Church where the audacity to do something new will be stronger than the habit of doing things as they’ve always been done. A Church where everyone can pray in their own language, express themselves according to their culture, and live with their own history. A Church of which people say, not “See how well organised they are” but “see how they love one another”. Church of suburbs and streets and housing estates, you may still be small but you are making progress. you are fragile, but you are full of hope. Lift up your head and look; The Lord is with you, Bishop Guy Deroubaix 2 Lord of Life We pray for all who bring your word of life to those in darkness. For those who bring your word of peace to those enslaved by fear. For all those who bring your word of love to those in need of comfort. Lord of love and Lord of peace Lord of resurrection life be known through our lives ad through your power. Christ the Lord is risen. Charles Wesley These prayers have come to me via Mothers’ Union. Your contributions to this page will be very welcome. Please give them to me, or to the magazine editor, Alison Dean.

Just what are the newly-elected taking on and just what are we expecting from them? Moira Wickens wrote the following for her own churches in Fishbourne and Apuldram giving her views on the collective responsibilities of the Council’s members – both elected and ex- officio. She has kindly given her permission to reproduce the article here. (References to P.C.C. also apply to our D.C.Cs.) Clive Waind What is the P.C.C. and just what is expected of its members? The Parochial Church Council, which is what PCC stands for, is a body of people who represent all the other church members of a parish. It is a complicated body, even before you take into account the personalities of its members, for it is unlike any other committee in that it has to carry out a mixture of spiritual, legal, financial, pastoral and missionary functions. The PCC shares the privileges and responsibility of making certain decisions with the parish priest, and in return co-operates with the priest in the whole mission of the church. This is not a clever arrangement worked out by the church lawyers, but is in fact an attempt to channel the teaching of the bible into the life of the parish. Members are elected by the people of a church and much indeed is expected of them. Being a member of the PCC is a very important role within the life of the church and much is expected of those who accept the privilege. They are to attend all meetings, making sure that these have first claim on their time before any other secular or social function. The PCC has a duty to discuss all matters that affect the life of the church and parish, they do this by looking at the whole picture rather than individual little bits. Sometimes these discussions lead to a vote, after which some sort of action is usually required. Every member is expected to do their share of the action and if they have voted against a particular decision they still need to join with the others for the sake of unity and corporate loyalty. 4 The function of the PCC includes complete co-operation with the incumbent, this does not mean that they always have to agree with everything, but they are expected to work together for the good of the whole church, in many ways they are the eyes and the ears of the church family. Therefore, Love is required of every member, both for God and for his or her neighbours in the widest sense, and this sometimes includes learning to love those who may have been difficult at a meeting. A healthy spiritual life needs to be developed, for no one can act or speak as a member of the Christian body unless they take time to pray and read the bible every day. PCC members are expected to receive communion at least once a week. They are responsible for the repair and upkeep of the church, and for how the money is to be spent, ensuring that the church has an adequate income each year. Ultimately, the PCC is made up of ordinary men and women who willingly give their time and energy. They are to be an example to others, but are also there to listen to the people of the church so that with the priest they can make the right decisions for the future. Please pray for your elected members, get to know them, share your ideas with them, thank them and please do respond to their requests for help.

Harvest thereby becomes not a sentimental denial of the problems which face the earth, but a celebration that God’s love in Jesus Christ transforms the earth.

  • Huddersfield (Town Centre and University) to Holmfirth (Town Centre)
    Holmfirth Transitional Town Proposed Cycle Route – Huddersfield (town centre and university) to Holmfirth (town centre). The proposal seeks to create, as far as possible, an off road cycle path between the town centres of Huddersfield and Holmfirth, together with link paths from other significant Holme Valley settlements, notably Honley, Brockholes, Netherthong, New Mill and Wooldale. In addition to these settlements there are a number of other significant workplace and school destinations linked to or on the proposed route, notably Thongsbridge, Armitage Bridge, Lockwood, Folly Hall, Kirklees College, and Honley and Holmfirth High Schools Where an off road path is not considered to be achievable, the proposed route utilises the road network, with appropriate amendments and improvements to create a safe cycling environment. The existing and proposed routes are described below in clearly identifiable sections. Existing routes include some off road paths which are usable and used currently for cycling, and which will become part of the complete route, subject to any necessary improvements. Where off road paths connect to the road network, and for on road elements of the route, improvements to create a safe cycling environment are proposed. The route sections 1. Huddersfield town centre, within the ring road 2. Ring Road to Lockwood 3. Lockwood to Berry Brow 4. Berry Brow to Honley 5. Honley to Thongsbridge 6. Thongsbridge to Holmfirth 1. Huddersfield town centre – within the ring road The town centre is generally regarded as a relatively safe cycling environment. Traffic levels have been reduced by the introduction of bus gates, and speeds are relatively low. Some cycling infrastructure has been provided and there are some signed routes and safe ring road crossings, however provision is piecemeal and further improvements are required.

It provides a wealth of perfectly proportioned rooms leading off a central hallway with iron railed staircase.
