On Sunday 12th September there will be a short communion service at St. Bartholomew’s at 9.30am.

At 10.30 the Civic Service will be held at St. Bartholomew’s.

There are no services at St. James’, St. Mary’s or Christ Church.

Church Working Groups are re-commencing the work around the #Meltham Parish starting on Saturday 11th September at St James’ Church, Meltham Mills where will shall be grass cutting, strimming and bush clearing – Saturday morning from about 09.30 to 12.30 but even if you can only spare an hour, it all helps to make the job easier – the more, the merrier!

Feel free just to turn up, for all or a part of the session. We have a good chat and a laugh as well as work. Cake is usually involved at some point too! As we are outside, it is always weather dependent, so rain coats or sun hats required!

If you would like to join this merry group and want to be kept up to date with future dates and locations, please contact Irene Harrop at: irene.harrop@hotmail.co.uk or 01484 664163 or contact Mike Still on 07867 951512 for further information.

You can find the latest services that have been live-streamed via our #Meltham Parish YouTube channel. We’re hoping the technical issues we have experienced recently are now resolved. Use this link to view both the current service live or to watch it and previous ones retrospectively.

This Summer seems to have flown by! Hope you are all rested and ready for whatever awaits you.
This long awaited issue is full of updates including from Meltham Mustard Seed, St Bart’s Choir, Church Hall coffee mornings and Meltham Shoe box. This month also includes a lovely thought provoking poem.

Please continue to forward anything you would like to include in the next edition as without them it would be very boring! The next deadline for much needed contributions will be Monday 20th September.

Please send them via email to melthamparishmagazine@gmail.com
or via the vicarage letterbox.
(150 Huddersfield Rd, HD9 4AL)

The Parish is providing large games such as ‘Connect 4’ at this event. There will also be a table displaying information about the churches.

We would like to have members of the Parish around to talk to people.

Please can you email me with any times you could volunteer on a rota. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the technical issues continued last week, as the internet connection was down! All we can do is keep trying and praying! 🙂

We’re pleased to announce that Saturday Coffee Mornings are restarting at Meltham Church Hall. The first two will be run by the Parish as a trial. Covid measures will still be in place with extra cleaning, distanced tables and restrictions on numbers. Please also wear a mask until seated. Come and meet your old friends, and hopefully some new ones too! There’s so much to catch up on – it’s been such a long time!
