Come meet the church at summer car boot sales!
T
h is summer, some quite exciting new things are happening within the life of the Clitheroe Methodist Cir cuit. Some of this has resulted from a
report, “Time to Talk of God”, which came out of the Methodist Conference in 2005. The words "Methodist Conference" and
"enthusiasm" and "vitality" don’t always sit well together, but on this occasion there was a great enthusiasm at conference. This report was actually practical, out
lining ways we need to re-discover Christ ian conversation as a way of nurturing dis- cipleship in Jesus. As a result, some 70 people from the cir
cuit met at Waddow Hall, in March, and shared a day together, exploring aspects of the report and ways in which practical action could be taken. If you think seriously about the Christ
ian faith, then a lot of Jesus' work and min istry was conversations, not preaching to people, but conversations with people, and He had an ability to communicate with people at all different levels and situations. So when He was with shepherds, He
talked about sheep, when with farmers about crops, when with fishermen about fish and when with women, He talked about many of the roles that they fulfil. In the village of West Bradford, along
with the newsletter that goes out three or four times a year to every house in the com munity, a little leaflet went with it contain ing questions for people to respond to. A number of people in the village have
responded, giving the Church Council in West Bradford some ideas of ways in which the church could be changed or altered in the style of its presentation of the Christ ian Gospel. Topics included knowing more about how to pray, about the possibility of

CONGRATULATIONS were expressed to parishioners in Waddington, who paid off the final debt of money outstanding in building the village’s parish church. Rebuilt in 1898, parishioners and villagers had gradually been paying off the debt of £8,000 that had been accrued to finish the project. The final £120 was eventually cleared after a sale of works. • Ribble Valley residents were looking

ly expect to find most people from our wor shipping church communities in church, but from every Sunday from early May, right the way through until the end of August, members of churches across the Clitheroe Circuit will be visiting the car boot sales that we have a proliferation of in this area. They will be holding conversa
tions with individual people about faith matters. Already we have discovered a number of
people who are asking questions about the Christian faith, the Jesus of the Gospels and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The major stumbling block, however, for
address that. So if you visit the car boot sales this

Skipton amassed 175 for seven declared while Clitheroe had no answer to the fast left-arm bowling of R.E, Nutter, and could only scrape together 51 runs.

summer on a Sunday morning, look out for us. We have a white gazebo and you’ll find half-a-dozen or so friendly folk (yes, we are friendly!) willing to talk to you about the faith. There are free biscuits, free drinks and free face-painting during the course of the World Cup for all those enthusiasts who want a particular flag painted on their face. There will be lots of literature avail able and we have leaflets which talk about The Da Vinci Code, about the Lord of Lords, but that refers to people who get excited about cricket, and about the great est goal of history which looks at the World Cup. And so there's all sorts of challenging
information available to make you stop and think about your relationship with Jesus Christ. And we are there to .communicate the Gospel in a different way. We've come out of our churches and are mixing with people where they gather, the thousands of people who visit our car boot sales in the Ribble Valley during the course of each Sunday. We want to take the opportunity of sharing the Gospel with you, in a non-
■ threatening, friendly way. So come and join us. For the month of
June we will be at the car boot sale just beyond Sawley, then at the one near Gis- bum and then back to the one on the A59 in Barrow for August, which is where we started and spent the month of May. So we will look forward to seeing you. Come and have a word. Share your doubts or your concerns, share your problems, it doesn't matter, we're there to listen and to care and to support in the name of Jesus Christ.

spend the day at St Mary's Hall, the prep school for Stonyhurst College, as part of its 200th anniversary celebrations. “The day was a roaring success,” said
Mrs Marie Lea, the Head of Pre-Prep at Hodder House, part of St Mary's Hall. “Most said that the experience was quite
different from what they had expected. There were no dull, dusty teachers and bor ing lessons. Instead they found they loved the technology and thought that the teach ers were very lively, enthusiastic and young.” Headmaster Lawrence Crouch started
the day by telling the assembled grandpar ents: “You are here today because we value you as part of the St Mary's Hall family. We also want to give you an insight into 21st Century education. “Also,” he told them, “I am tired of being
the oldest person walking around the build ing!” Mrs Lea said th a t the grandparents
