Coffee and Cakes Supporting Daniel

On a very wet Wednesday morning on 23rd August over

50 people turned out with brollies and raincoats to raise

funds for research into muscular dystrophy. £710 was

raised at a coffee morning which was prompted by the

recent diagnosis of this condition relating to Daniel, the

grandson of Jill and Kevin McIntosh.

I would like to say a big thank you to all who contributed in making this event

such a success and also to those who were unable to attend but sent such

generous donations.

Love thy neighbour 19 Church services 32

Well the new school term has started, the students are returning

to university and the nights are pulling in. Soon the leaves will be

turning beautiful shades of red, gold and amber. Autumn is my

favourite month! New starts, cosy evenings and all sorts of

celebrations to look forward to attending.

High on that list is Harvest Festival and the infamous Harvest

Lunch. Fred managed to wangle himself an invite last year, we as usual had not

been organised enough to buy tickets in time. We won’t make that mistake this

year. I hope it doesn’t clash with one of the many university open days we will be

attending over the coming weeks…

Margaret and David Kirby have kindly written a very informative article about

foodbanks and our harvest collection supporting this sadly vital service to those in

great need.

New for this month, and continuing our thought on caring for others, is our ‘Love

thy neighbour’ article. This series of articles by Bill and Janet Cunliffe, celebrate the

good works of fellow parishioners: voluntary activities people are involved in

outside of St Giles.

The eagle eyed amongst you may notice the slightly larger font size of the articles.

This has been increased in response to feedback from readers. I hope this makes

for an easier read.

Come ye thankful people come ………

Harvest time again a time to give thanks, a time to bring gifts for others, a time to

harvest.

A time to give thanks – there are two opportunities to join us for special events on

that day

10.30am everyone is invited to our Harvest Service where we will sing the traditional

and not so traditional harvest songs to worship and praise God.

6.30pm our harvest celebrations will continue with a celebration of Holy Communion

with yet more harvest hymns.

A time to bring gifts for others – this year Reverend David Kirby asked if we could

help the Leeds South and East Foodbank where he and his wife Margaret volunteer.

The services of the foodbank are well used so much so that they are running out of

food. These food gifts are distributed to some of the most vulnerable and needy

people in our society. Please give generously. Full details of goods required on our

web site stgilesbramhope.org.uk

A time to be a family – for many years now we have joined together as a family for

our harvest meal together; this is at lunchtime (midday) on the 8 October. It is a

three course lunch with good food, good company and some of our children will

entertain us by playing their musical instruments. Everyone is welcome contact Keith

for tickets on 07920139172.

A time to harvest – Jesus uses many stories of sowing and harvesting to illustrate the

kingdom of heaven. The parable of the Sower talks about seed grown in different

kinds of soil and the abundant harvest that the good soil gives. As you know he is not

referring to plants but people and their faith. Or do you know? Do you know what

From the vicarage

the stories or parables of Jesus mean? Do you understand why Jesus came to earth to

tell us about his Father God? This autumn we are running a confirmation course where

you can explore the Christian faith and decide whether you wish to be confirmed.

For those of you who have not been confirmed and wish to consider this I am

currently running two separate courses for adults and young people. Bishop Paul will

be coming on the evening of 19 November at 6pm. If you or a member of your family

want to join in please contact me.

So wherever your faith is planted there is an opportunity for you to bring your thanks

and praises to God and even add a little fertiliser!

Janice

The loss of a loved one is hard to bear and the time before and after a loved one dies is often busy with arrangements and seeing family and friends. The day of the funeral may be unreal and busy.

Each year we hold a service to remember those whom we have loved and see no more. It is a quiet reflective service to remember, to light a candle and pray and give thanks for the days which have gone and look at the days to come in which we seek God’s love and support.

This year the service is on 5 November at 6:30 pm in church. No matter how short or long a time it is since you lost your loved one you will find this a very helpful service. Please join us.

Janice

In loving memory service

Circle Dancing

We started our dancing

again last Tuesday after our

August break. All of us were

so pleased to be back

together again to do some

of our favourite dances.

We did Edelweiss which has

now become one of our

favourites since we learnt it

in Austria in June. We had

our longer than usual

sharing of our news sitting in

the cosy corner in the hall,

hearing about all the

amazing places we'd visited

during the summer, and the

latest news of our

families. This is what brings

us close together.

On Monday, September 11,

some of us are did an

evening of Circle Dancing for

Billing Trefoil Guild at

Horsforth Central Methodist

Church. We showed them

how to do several simple but

meaningful dances. We

brought it to an end with our

Blessings Dance, and I

believe in Angels, and lastly

I Offer you Peace from Karl

Jenkins Peacemakers. Oh

what a joy music and

dancing are!

Despite Wednesday 6

September being a bit chilly

and grey we were

transported into the

colourful world of our

feathered friends. Jean

Weatherill gave us a

fascinating talk on birds.

Not only did she bring some

lovely books and

photographs but she burst

into song as well. Jean

reminded us how birds

feature in our everyday life

– they are mentioned in

the Holy Bible, hymn books,

songs, films and public

house names. I am sure

we all like to see birds in

our gardens but we

couldn’t possibly compete

with Jean who has

travelled by land, sea and

Some prayers for October

Father in heaven, all good gifts come from

you. You send the sunshine and the rain

and it is through your love and care that

we can enjoy harvest time. Thank you for

providing so richly for our needs and help

us to share the good things we have with

those who have little or nothing.

Lord we pray for your blessing on every

kind of harvest we enjoy. Thank you for

the harvest of the land and sea. Bless too

the harvest of factory, mine and

workshop. Bless the harvest of research

and of creative art. May we work together

with you in every area of life to produce

what is worthwhile, good and fruitful.

May you be glorified in it all.

Author Unknown

The seed is Christ’s,

The granary is Christ’s;

In the granary of God

May we be gathered.

The sea is Christ’s,

The fishes are Christ’s;

In the nets of God

May we all meet.

A Prayer from Ireland

Bring to fruition, Creator God, the work of

your kingdom.

Make us part of that joyful harvest in

which your loving purpose is completed.

Help us to realise how important the

smallest words and deeds are in the

context of eternity.

At harvest time, when we remember your

goodness make us grateful also for all we

have received from the labour of others

who have sown the seeds of faith, hope

and love in our lives.

Author Unknown

And lastly a Prayer from Singapore for you to ponder and to pray

God stir the soil,

Run the ploughshare deep,

Cut the furrows round and round

Overturn the hard, dry ground,

Spare no strength nor toil,

Even though I weep.

In the loose, fresh mangled earth

Sow new seed

Free of withered vine and weed

Bring fair flowers to birth

Getting to know...

Hazel Lee

I was born in Hyde Terrace maternity

home in 1937, making me the youngest of

the St Giles 80 year old Babes, and

subsequently lived at Old Pool Bank with

my parents, Sally and Bill Lancaster.

Schooling was at the orphanage (now

Hilton Grange) as an “outsider”. I passed

the 11 plus exam to attend Prince Henry's,

which at the time was just a stone

building.

My first job was at the Yorkshire Electricity

Board’s head office located in Bramhope

(now Manor Close) before they moved to

offices in York Place in the city centre. This

was a good move as this is where I met my

lovely husband Bob. For the first seven

years of our married life we lived in

Yeadon where our daughter, Valerie Ann,

was born (Val regularly reads the prayers

and helps at Communion).

I was confirmed at St Giles during the

reign of the then vicar, Reverend

Bairstow. The joint confirmation event

was celebrated with a similar group at

Harewood Church.

For many years I have served on the Pool -

in- Wharfedale Parish Council, Old Pool

Management Committee, West Yorkshire

Transport Committee and the local Royal

British Legion Committee and Otley and

District Road Safety Committee. I have

always had a great interest in the

performing arts and have performed in

many plays with the Overdale Players and

the Electricity Players at the Civic Theatre,

now a museum in Leeds.

Since Bob's death, singing has filled a huge

hollow. For the past 19 years I have sung

with a large choir - Sing Live now called

the Inspiration Choir.

I have sung in the Royal Albert Hall and on

Mediterranean cruises, the Epcot Centre

in Florida, Disneyland in Paris, Henley

Festival, Leeds Town Hall, Bridgewater

Hall and the Edinburgh Festival to name

but a few. The joy I get from singing is

wonderful. Singing with the choir at St

Giles gives me great support in my

worship, although I sometimes struggle at

Evensong with the chants.

In the church circle I regularly attend a

whole variety of services and for the past

five years I have been a deputy warden.

For many years I have been actively

involved with the Women’s Fellowship, of

which I am currently the chair; I am

grateful for the great support from fellow

committee members.

Love thy neighbour

Recently, we found Sue Gamble beyond

the comfort zone of Bramhope, in Eccup

at the Donkey Sanctuary where Sue

Gamble has been doing voluntary work

one day a week for the last seven years.

The Donkey Sanctuary provides riding

therapy for children as well as being a

refuge home for up to 23 donkeys who

themselves are disadvantaged either due

to age or abuse. It is a win-win situation

for the children, staff, parents, donkeys

and volunteers like Sue. Children who

attend the sanctuary get much benefit by

riding the donkeys or if the child is too

large, then walking the donkeys.

The activities are under the supervision of

the staff or trained volunteers with up to

3 donkeys being involved at any one time.

Sue finds that the riding physically helps

the children to build their body core,

stretching and coordination. Occasionally

some children do not improve, but enjoy

the moment in this caring environment.

Over time most children improve their

educational skills and relationships

between themselves, school teachers and

parents.

“Love Your Neighbour As Your-

self”. Mark 12.31

T his new section of the magazine is

aimed to highlight the voluntary good

works parishioners do outside the walls of St

Giles. Written by Bill & Janet Cunliffe, follow-

ing their interview with Sue Gamble...

I appreciate each day as it is a bonus. Some years ago when I was working in the Old Pool Bank Post Office we were robbed. The loaded gun was pointed at me whilst they carried out the raid. When the police asked for information and details I described the accomplice as wearing a white scarf, knit 4, purl 4. This made them smile. The next smile came from the account in the Yorkshire Evening Post describing the postmaster and his middle age assistant held at ransom. Later when I asked the reporter if it could be

altered to a glamorous lady assistant she declined as it would have got less sympathy.

My life is very busy and interesting. I am blessed with a lovely daughter and excellent friends and God has been good to me; in particular, I thank the many parishioners who give me lifts to and from church

I guess most of us are aware how

fortunate we are to live in Bramhope. But

across our fair city there are some really

significant differences in life expectancy,

and other markers of the quality of life.

Did you know, ladies, that life expectancy

for women in Wharfedale and Adel ward

is 86.5 years? But the life expectancy for

women in the City and Hunslet ward is

only 76.1 years. Now ladies don’t live 9

years longer because they live in

Bramhope and not in Hunslet! The

difference, of course, is because of all

sorts of socio-economic factors to do with

life style, housing, diet, employment – or

lack of it. Did you know that 20% of the

population of Leeds live in the 10% most

deprived areas in England?

So it’s not surprising that in these times of

austerity, folk in some parts of the city are

facing real difficulty. Not everyone, of

course, but for some it really is a choice

between putting food on the table or

paying the rent. In 2016-17, Leeds

Foodbanks gave out emergency food

parcels, sufficient for three days to feed

almost 16,000 people in crisis. Some

were for families, some for single people –

the figures hide the fact that of those

16,000 people, over 6,000 were children.

The Leeds Foodbanks operate under the

aegis of the Trussell Trust. To qualify for a

food parcel, individuals have to be

referred by persons like a social worker,

clergy, a doctor, probation officer, Council

One Stop Centres, Citizen Advise Bureau,

or other responsible bodies. People can’t

just walk off the street and ask for a

handout. Foodbanks are essentially for

people in crisis, it’s not Morrisons for

free! And recipients can only ask for help

on three occasions in a six-month period.

Because Leeds is so big, the city has been

divided into two halves – Leeds South and

East and Leeds North and West. There are

19 distribution centres, mainly in churches

or council properties, all staffed by

volunteers. Leeds South and East has a

warehouse in Hunslet and 11 distribution

centres each open for a couple of hours a

week, spread across the city from

Drighlington to Seacroft, and taking in

inner urban areas like Hunslet and

Bermantofts.

Food is donated by the general public,

including churches – Harvest Festivals, like

ours, are a very important source during

the autumn! Big supermarkets like Asda

and Tesco are also very helpful. Some

have a collection basket in store from

which donations of food can be taken to

the warehouse on a regular basis. Once or

twice a year, Asda and Tesco stores allow

special collections when volunteers from

the Foodbanks are present in the store

and ask shoppers to help by buying

particular canned or dry goods and

donating them as they leave. A day’s

collection can yield up to 500 kg of food

stuffs – but that can be distributed by a

couple of busy centres in a week!

What is Messy Church?

Messy Church is a way of being church for families involving fun.

Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, hospitality and celebration.

Currently there are 3782 churches in the UK and the world to help families find out about the stories of God and His Son Jesus.

A typical session of Messy Church is that there is a welcome, a creative time to explore the biblical theme through crafts and getting messy; a short celebration time involving a story, prayer and a song, then we do what do best—EAT together, then games.

Messy Church helps families to grow no matter what type of family they are, nuclear, extended, church or global.

We meet regularly our meeting dates for this year are over the page.

What Messy Church Isn’t

...just for children. It can and does involve all ages.

...a club. It welcomes everyone, values everyone, is always for the outsider because it is an integral part of our church.

....just for families—all are welcome single, widowed, childless. Church is inclusive not exclusive.

Messy Church at St Giles

The leaders are Janice Smith and Suzannah

Hattersley, supported by a large team of

volunteers without whom we cannot

function. People are needed to prep the

crafts, lead crafts on the day, play music,

play games, prepare and serve food, clear

away. If you feel you can help with this

please contact Janice Smith 0113 203
