Parish Magazine – September 2021

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)

Picnic in the Park

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 we’ve had technical issues for the past few weeks and the livestream has ended prematurely (usually in the middle of the sermon!). We’re trying various things to resolve this – apologies if it continues to happen – please bear with us.
