With our brothers and sisters across Bury we hold all those affected by the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in our prayers 🙏

We in the Bury Methodist Circuit stand with and pray for our Jewish sisters and brothers in response to the appalling attack on the Jewish Community at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. An attack on any day would be awful but on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish Calendar, it is made even worse.

There may be many things that make communities different, but our humanity is rooted in the shared belief that we are made in the image of God, and we offer our wholehearted support, love and prayers to the Jewish Community in Bury, Manchester, and across the country.

As it has so often in the past, we are sure Manchester will rise in response to these horrible events as a city – united, demonstrating the love and care that makes this region such a special place to live, and we will do all we can to be a part of that.

God of peace,
We offer you our prayers for the community of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue,
For those who have been injured, we pray for your healing
For those who have died and their families and friends, we pray for your presence and embrace
For those who filled with fear and anxiety, we pray for your peace
For those who have bravely responded from the public and emergency services, we pray for strength
For those in the wider community who are hurting at the wounds to their local brothers and sisters, we pray for comfort
Today, may we hear your words of peace and love
May we enact them in every part of our lives
And may we be rooted in the truth of your image being at the very heart of our shared humanity.
In the name of Christ, the Prince of Peace we pray
Amen

We had a great time on Saturday at our Easter Crafternoon!

We shared in some great Easter themed crafts and games, had an egg hunt in the worship space, told the Easter story using the word E A S T E R and ate loads of hotdogs!

Thank you to all who came to celebrate Easter with us!

Watch this space for the next Crafternoon announcement!

We had a great night at Chippy Church!

This month we reflected on whether the Church should engage with politics and whether Jesus was political, using this video from Phil Vischer

We left with the questions:

Do you want to see your Church engage in politics and how?

At the beginning of Christmas Week the knitted angels have returned to Prestwich!

If you find one, take it home for yourself or a friend and share a bit of the joy of Christmas 😁

We had a great time at Christmas Chippy Church last night with a huge thanks to Taylor's Chippy for the food!

We ate together and spent time thinking about what our favourite Christmas songs tell us about the Good News of Christmas!
