SEE PAGE 9 2 Trinity Church Honley Newsletter March 2015 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) Trinity Church Honley Newsletter March 2015 3 The Methodist Church network, world-wide Mission Matters is a well produced magazine with interesting articles. The current issue is No.40,winter 2014. It’s free for anyone to pick up from the table in the vestibule. And it’s a good read.

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.’ FAITHWATCH WEEKLY CRIME REPORT 28 JAN 2015 T W O C 28 JAN 201 5 ATTEND AT VICTIM’S HOME- MAN CLAIMING HE HAS NOWHERE TO STAY.

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?

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. 7 Wordsearch / Letters 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’.
