Annual Memorial Service. Sunday 25 October —4.30pm @ St Bartholomew’s, #Meltham. All welcome

Ale Talk is a discussion about all things spiritual. It is friendly, serious and fun. We explore questions about life and God in an informal, open and non-prescriptive way over a drink in the Waggon and Horses in Meltham.

An initial short thought and question gets things going, after which the conversation runs freely. The evening is rounded off with an opportunity to share insights and reflections on the question. All are welcome. Pam Murgatroyd sometimes makes sarnies!

Ale Talk thrives on a diversity of view points and experiences and is not about having ‘the right answer’. In order to keep the conversation open and non-judgemental we have some simple house-rules. These include

– respect each person

– come prepared to listen to others

– do not adopt the posture that “my opinion is more important than yours”

 The meetings before Christmas will be 3^rd November, 17^th November and 1^st December – we may have mince pies on 15^th! 7.30 – be there!

Parish Posada

What is Posada? Posada is a Spanish word that means ‘Inn’, and is also the title for a Mexican Advent celebration. In the UK a more recent tradition is to send out the figures of Mary and Joseph on an Advent journey around a parish leading up to Christmas.

The figures travel from home to home staying overnight before moving onwards in their journey.

Whilst the figures are in your home, it is an opportunity to pray, and quietly reflect on the wonder of that first Christmas, and to share God’s message and promise of love given us in the Christ-child.

Mary and Joseph receive a blessing and set off on their Advent journey at our “Worship 4 All” service at St Bartholomew’s Church on 29th November 9.30am, visiting each home in turn, returning in time for the “Crib Service” at St James’ at 24th December 4.00pm. Where the whole parish will gather together in Church to listen to the Christmas story.

Everyone who has hosted Mary and Joseph during December is invited to the service.

I hope you enjoy taking part!
