The August 2018 edition of Connected is now available to download!

 

July (the magazine was of course written in July...) is usually the month where the schools breakup, leading to many families rushing away on holiday. However the Parish has been particularly busy this year for some reason…

Continuing with the vacation theme; guest contributor, Revd. Paul Hardingham contemplates a holiday with Jesus, and I continue with the review of services available at St Wilfrid’s and St Francis, by commenting on Lay-led Morning Prayer.

The St Wilfrid’s Junior Church has been sharing in their good fortune by twinning the toilets in the Parish Hall with others in poorer countries, and the Rector, and others, has continued with his love of all things bouncy by taking part in the Kapow! Challenge.

Tony Service reports on comings and goings in the Methodist Circuit – I suspect that I may be rewriting the Methodist & St Francis Clergy lists next month! At St Francis the usual round of coffee mornings has been supplemented by a Beetle Drive and Fashion Show both of which were great fun and raised money for the church funds. Gordon Tute remembers Trevor Maurice, St Wilfrid’s stalwart and choir member, who has sadly died, whilst Claire Hodgson and Iain Nutt report on the parlous state of the tower and spire at St Wilfrid’s.

St Wilfrid's Parish Picnic will be held in the Rectory Garden between 1:00pm and 4:00pm this Sunday 8th July. Why not come along and enjoy the games and great company! There will be a scavenger hunt with a prize for the best scavenge!

Bring own food & something to drink, and something to sit and/or snooze on. Also remember the factor 50 sun-cream cos its bound to be a fantastic sunny day!

Note that the venue has had to be changed because the Village Green is currently out of action.


See you there!

The July Connected is now available!

In this edition Revd. Pete Watson continues our review of the different Services available at St Wilfrid’s by looking at the background and purpose of the Celtic Communion; the freshness, beauty and poetry to the Celtic style liturgies that can engender a rediscovery of old truths, and renew our wonder in the worship of God. Barbara Richardson remembers Marion Baillie who has sadly died, and Tony Service reports on the latest Methodist News. I report on the St Wilfrid’s Summer Fair that took place in glorious weather on Brayton Village Green. We also look forward to the St Wilfrid’s Fashion event to be held at M&Co in Selby, and coincidently St Francis also look forward to their Fashion Event to be held on 17th July in Church. The Brayton MU remembers its Summer Of Hope Appeal, and Lynn Allen makes a plea for used postcards.

The Goole based Home-Start team outline their services ahead of their move into the Selby area. And we pretend that Churchyard Tidying is a form of Mindfulness, which of course it is…
