Are you interested in joining a housegroup? 

There is an opportunity on Monday 24th October at 8pm for people to meet to discuss what they would want out of a housegroup.  It is likely that we would meet twice a month. We are meeting at 6 Woodland Walk.  It might be advisable to bring a torch/mobile phone as the estate still doesn’t have lighting.

Welcome to our tribute edition of the magazine to our Queen Elizabeth, who was an example to us all of how to live our lives in service to others. London seemed so far away, but with the help of Richard Noon and others you will see, we were able to say ‘Goodbye’ in our own Meltham way.

I would also like to apologise for not updating the parish registers over the summer. This was an oversight and are now included in this months edition. As we settle into the autumn months we can read about how the Crossroads continue to help those who need it. There are new events happening like Alpha and also a sneak peek as to what you can expect in the run up to Christmas.

The next deadline for the November magazine will be:
Monday 17th October 2022
Please send them via:
melthamparishmagazine@gmail.com
or
via the vicarage letterbox.
(150 Huddersfield Rd, HD9 4AL)

God Bless,
Fiona.

You can also find here, a copy of the September magazine which unfortunately didn’t get posted last month, but still worth a look if you didn’t manage to get to see a copy. Apologies from the webmaster for that.

4 pm Sunday 16th October at Welshampton 

We suspect a number of us will want to join Rev Maureen and John for their retirement service.

In these days of high fuel prices and environmental concerns it would be good to take as few cars as possible and some who want to go may not have car access. 

Mike Still will try to coordinate transport.  So if you are going and have spare car space or you want to go but need a lift. Please contact Mike. 

If you are interested in a Coach or Minibus again if there is sufficient demand we will try and organise it. 

Please reply to Mike by Sunday 25th Sept.
