Guest Column
This month our
minister has
very kindly
given over his
column to a
guest
contributor,
Jane Armitage.
Jane is our
church
secretary, so knows everything
that goes on and is hard working
provided there’s plenty of coffee.
We are very happy to print her
contribution; The Nun’s Prayer.
17th Century Nun’s Prayer Anon
Lord, Thou knowest be tte r than
I know myself that I am growing
older and will some day be old.
Keep me from the fatal habit of
thinking I must say something on
every subject and on every
occasion. Release me from
craving to straighten out
everybody’s affairs. Make me
thoughtful but not moody; helpful
but not bossy. With my vast store
of wisdom, it seems a pity not to
use it all, but Thou knowest Lord
that I want a few friends at the end.
me to endure them with patience.
Kee p my mind free from the
re cital of endless de tails; give me
wings to get to the point. Seal my
lips on my aches and pains. T hey
are increasing and love of
rehearsing them is becoming
sweeter as the years go by. I dare
not ask for grace enough to enjoy
the tales of other’s pains, but help
Kee p me reasonably swee t; I do
not want to be a Saint – some of
them are so hard to live with – but
a sour old person is one of the
crowning works of the devil. Give
me the ability to see good things in
unexpected places and talents in
unexpected people. And give me,
O Lord, the grace to tell them so.
Amen.
I dare not ask for improve d
memory, but for a growing
humility and a lessening
cocksureness when my memory
seems to clash with the memories
of others. T each me the glorious
lesson that occasionally I may be
mistaken.
On Friday 12th Decem ber, the House of Commons voted to enshrine in law the UK's comm itment to use 0.7% of Gross National Income for foreign aid.
The UK Aid Bill will now proceed to the House of Lords. As the UK Aid Bill progresse s, please:
• give thanks for all who voted for the Bill, a manifesto pledge of all three main parties in the last election.
• give thanks for those instances in which UK aid has made or will make a positive difference in people's lives
• pray that progress towards ensuring the quantity of aid will allow the focus to turn more towards its quality
• pray that the UK government's policies in other areas will not undermine the work it does to relieve poverty
through aid.
With thanks to Christian Concern for One World
Cover Story
Rev Tim Moore offers this explanation:
Very often we come across people who
seem to ask us to do the impossible.
Sometimes we read parts of the Bible
which can have the same effect of
causing us to say, 'that just can't be
done'. On a Sunday morning in January we attempted to show that sometimes what seems impossible- is possible.
First water was poured onto an ordinary cotton handkerchief. The water fell through the weave of the handkerchief
and into a handily placed bowl (as you would expect). However, what happened next caught us by surprise.
We then placed the same cotton handkerchief across the rim
of a glass full of water and turned the glass upside down (as
in the cover picture) but the water didn't come tumbling out as
before; it stayed in the glass.
We had asked the handkerchief to do the impossible by keeping the water in the glass (and the heads below dry) and it
did! It may have seemed impossible, but it wasn’t.
Impossible? Jesus could turn water into wine!. (Ed)

Local Connections
The Samaritan on the Train to London
Interested in writing?
Mohammed Ajeeb was a
teenager when he arrived in
this country from his native
Pakistan more than 30 years
ago. He found himself on a
London-bound train in freezing weather conditions, but
in the company of a genial
Englishman who warmed to
the young immigrant and did
his best to help. He managed to adjust the heating so
that the temperature was at
least bear-able, put his own overcoat around the young
stranger's shoulders, and bought him a cup of cocoa. In
fact, he even offered to find the young man a job.
On Saturday, March
7th, the local branch
of the Association of
Christian Writers will
be meeting in Holmfirth Methodist Church
Kimm Brook writes:
We are a small friendly group of writers who happen
to be Christians from a range of denominations. We
gather at 10:30am for refreshments and chat, followed by a short period of reflection and prayer.
Our secretary passe s on information about courses
and anything else likely to be of interest and then we
have a writing workshop.
There is a break for a “faith” lunch (everyone brings
food to share). This is invariably a splendid feast!
When they reached London, their ways parted. The
youngster managed to land a job, worked hard and
eventually became a successful businessman in Bradford. In May 1985 he was elected Lord Mayor, the
town's first mayor from another country. It was no mean
achievement from such humble beginnings.
The afternoon is given over to reading work produced
in the morning as well as items brought from home
and we finish with a prayer around 3:30pm.
If you fancy giving it a try, please come along or if you
know someone who might be interested, please pass
this invitation on.
Mr. Ajeeb had never forgotten the man who had befriended him on his first day in England. He didn't know
his name. Indeed, all he knew about him was that he
was a farmer in Derbyshire. However, he eventually
tracked him down. The Good Samaritan on the train
turned out to be the late Ted Moult, the popular broadcaster, and he had forgotten all about his kindness to a
young stranger so many years ago.
‘the connexion’
the connexion is a new print magazine for the
Methodist people.
The first issue brings you news of people and projects in these islands as well as North Korea and Sri
Lanka, showing how vibrant Methodism can be. It has
a primary theme of evangelism (the 'e-word') and
ways that Methodists can refocus on an area that
many find problematic.
I am reminded of the old saying, "Never forget a
kindness done to you, but forget any done by you."
Cited from: F. Gay, The Friendship Book, 1989
Priestly said it about Bradford
The magazine has been produced in response to
calls from many Methodists for improved communications and more news about what is happening across
the Connexion.
In 1933 J.B. Priestley embarked on an
‘English Journey’ and, as he crisscrossed the country, found he was
naturally drawn to his home town of
Bradford. It was, he said, ‘one of the
most provincial and yet one of the most
cosmopolitan of English provincial cities.’
Two more issue s will be published in 2015 -issue two
in April and issue three in September.
Treading Water
A vicar was planning an Easter pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, and was aghast when he found it would cost him
£50 an hour to rent a boat on the Sea of Galilee. He
proteste d to the travel agent that the cost was ridiculous. “Maybe,” replied the agent, “but you have to take
into account that the Sea of Galilee is water on which
our Lord himself walke d.” “At £50 an hour”, said the
vicar, “I am not surprised he walked!”
The international dimension came partly from the wool
trade but also from an influx of German and GermanJewish immigrants during the early and mid-Victorian
periods. The houses they once inhabited are now, in
part, owned by the British-Pakistani middle class.
The parallels between then and now are not perfect,
but the lesson drawn by Priestley so many years ago
still holds good:
‘History shows us that countries that have opened
their doors have gained, j ust as the countries that
hav e driv en out large numbers of their citizens for
racial, religious or political reasons, have always
paid dearly for their lack of tolerance.’

George Marsden retires
Click here for Heaven
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Where ever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one other thing
I wish that you would do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
(Believe it or not!)
Honley Male Voice Choir’s popular and
well-loved organist and deputy piano accompanist George Marsden has decided
to retire after nearly forty-one years loyal
service.
George played at his first service at Salem
Methodist Church in Berry Brow in 1949
when he was 14 years old and afterwards the church trustees decided to appoint him as organist, even though he had never applied for the job! He was paid £10 a year for two Sunday services
and Tuesday choir rehearsals, plus ten shillings and sixpence for
weddings and funerals.
During his Army National Service in Germany he played the organ
at the garrison church. When he returned home in 1958 he resumed playing at Salem church but later was appointed organist
at the Salendine Nook Baptist Church where he stayed for twentyone years.
Since 1981 he has been playing the organ at St. John’s Church,
Newsome and St. Paul’s Church, Armitage Bridge - on the same
Sunday. For many years he was accompanist for the Honley Gilbert and Sullivan Society and currently plays for the Huddersfield
Over Sixties Choir.
In 1984 he was elected President of the Huddersfield and District
Organists Association. Can he really be retiring?
Paraprosdokians:(they have w ays of maki ng you thi nk)
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
T akes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
Bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer

June Hatton
June Hatton died in January. Her
funeral service was led by Pastor Ian
Sharp from Elim Pentecostal church,
and was held in T rinity as so many
people wanted to attend.
In the early 1960’s her family
moved to Honley and June worked in
the textile mill in Thirstin, but most people in the village
will have known her as the lollipop lady by the fish and
chip shop at the end of Jaggar Lane. She did this job for 16
years in all weathers come rain or shine.
She was an advocate of keeping the Green Belt protected, and was very involved in the Honley Village Community Trust since it was founded 21 years ago. She was a
great one for making sure that the Magdale Fields were
protected and not built upon, and one who advocated they
should be a wildlife haven and not landscaped.
Well known around the village, she would invariably
end a conversation with: “Now you just look after yourself.” A kind and generous person, she will be much missed.

Letters to the Editor
March Wordsearch
Lent lasts for 40 days. Sundays in Lent are not
counted as Sunday is never a day of fasting, but a
weekly celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.
Christians have used Lent as their ‘40 days in the
wilderness’, when they set aside the indulgences of
life and instead look inward, seeking spiritual
renewal and growth. Lent looks towards the Cross
and the Empty Tomb, with the assurance of
redemption and new life in Christ. The daffodils in
our gardens are golden trumpets to proclaim the
wonderful message of Easter!
The English word for Lent is not at all religious; it
is an abbreviation of the Old English word ‘lencten’,
or ‘lengthen’. At last winter is over, and the days are
getting longer…

No-one has written in to this column this month,
which is surprising seeing as we had plenty to discuss
at the Churc h Meeting, not to mention all those
flowers and even the the argument about the
difference between a chicken and a hen.
So, a chance to remind you that there are several
good publications laid out on the vestibule table, all of
them FREE, and all can be taken away and read at
home or while waiting to see the doctor. Try ‘Mission
