| Vicar’s letter April 2013 |
What a blessing! These aren’t easy days for many Christians. Some feel vulnerable within their places of work, others within their homes. Isaiah chapter 58 was written when God’s people felt vulnerable. It’s there we hear God’s fantastic promises: The Lord wanted to bless his people, so they could be a blessing to everyone else. [...]

| Vicar’s letter February 2013 |
“Christians are Christlike.” It must be time to begin planning your summer holiday! So, just for a moment, imagine you’re at a lovely hotel in a sunny Mediterranean resort. You come down for breakfast and see the most fantastic array of fruit: Apples and grapes, mangoes and bananas, melon and kiwi fruit, strawberries and grapefruit. [...]

| Vicar’s letter December 2012 |
Load-bearing and burden-carrying Joyce and I lived in Malawi for two and a half years. We once joined some friends who were climbing Mount Mulanje, Malawi’s highest mountain. We each set out with our own back-pack. Halfway up, one of those climbing was exhausted. She couldn’t go any further. We had to stop. A team [...]

| Vicar’s letter October 2012 |
Knowing God There’s a world of difference between knowing God personally and just knowing about him. Blaise Pascal, the brilliant French mathematician and philosopher understood this very clearly. He once described the God who is known about (but not known personally) as ‘the God of the philosophers’. As Graham Tomlin explains in ‘The provocative church’, [...]

| Vicar’s letter August 2012 |
Building up and sending out From time to time, every organisation is advised to ask themselves what they’re in business to do. That’s part of what we were doing during the Vision 2012 exercise. In the June / July edition of the magazine we looked at the first half of our new strapline: We’re called “to [...]

| Vicar’s letter June 2012 |
Looking up and reaching out One thing the Vision 2012 exercise has done is remind us of the immense potential of our church. There were so many good and godly ideas. The work and ministry of St Mary’s with Holy Apostles clearly has many years to run!! There’s so much outreach and discipling to do; [...]

| Martyn’s trip to India |
I met some wonderful ministers during my all-too-brief visit to north India. One of the most remarkable was Sanjay Singh. He and his wife run a children’s home and he is minister to seven small congregations that meet in houses throughout the town where they live.Sanjay came to faith when he was seventeen. He’d met a minister, got [...]

Fun in the sun - Family Fun Day!
We are planning a Family Fun Day for Saturday, 6th July. There is a meeting about it at Parish House at 7.30 pm on Monday, 20th May and we’d like anyone who is interested to come along. Do join us. Everyone is very welcome.
Bethany Bookstall at Solid Rock Café - Friday 24th May
The Cafe does great coffee, and cakes, so how about calling in for coffee and having a look at the Bookstall. Chris Heywood can take orders for you to collect. Contact him on 01262 604758 or email: chris@bethanybookshop.co.uk
St Mary’s Grand Spring Clean! Saturday 25th May
The recent high winds have caused a lot of sandstone dust to fall in St Mary’s. We’d like to have a good spring clean before the Flower Festival, so we’re going to have a work party on 25th May, 10.00 am to 12 noon. The more the merrier! Please bring own cleaning things.
“Glorious Yorkshire” Flower Festival at St Mary’s 1st to 3rd June, 10.00 am - 4.00 pm
Flowers, photographs, paintings ... the Flower Festival is a great chance to invite friends and family to something in church, so do visit over the weekend or come to the Preview Evening on Friday 31st May at 7.00 pm. Tickets (£5 incl wine and nibbles) from Christine Cox (370382), or pay on the door. We’d love some help with refreshments and stewarding, so if you can give an hour or two - or bake a cake - please phone Margaret Cheetham (362113).
Sole to Soul Bungoma Charity walk - Saturday 8th June, 9.00 am Starting at St Oswald’s Church, Filey. The short route (5 miles) finishes at the Plough Inn on the Filey coast road. The 16-mile route is a circular walk. Hopefully there will be at least two support stops, at 5 miles then at about 8 miles. But everyone should bring food / drink and waterproofs etc. Please ring Wendy 351225 for sponsor forms or further information.
The Pregnancy Crisis Centre Annual Fundraiser. If you would like to help the Centre please take an empty baby’s bottle from the back of Church, fill it up with coins and return it to the Church, or the Centre, on Fathers’ Day – or any convenient time. We appreciate that many already support a range of very good causes, and your support in prayer and ‘standing alongside us’ is much valued.
Budget Buddies - Claire Daniels, Rainbow Money, hopes to recruit a few volunteers who could give one or two sessions a month to get alongside someone by encouraging them to operate with the budget Rainbow Money have drawn up. Please phone Claire if you are interested on 500568 (or freephone 08081 789 362).
Community Angels - an exciting initiative for Castle Ward, run by local churches, in co-operation with the local authority. The idea is that volunteers will come alongside residents and encourage their use of the available support and facilities, by introducing or accompanying someone to a group. Training will be given to volunteers. If you would like to find out more, please contact Graeme Parkins on 07788 510 720.
Home Groups. Belonging, learning, encouraging, laughing, crying, praying, caring ...
Small Groups can really help us in our walk as Christians, particularly in living out the many “one another” exhortations we find in the New Testament. If you are not yet in a Group now would be a good time to join one. Do ask Martyn which one might work best for you
