BAPTISMS, WEDDINGS, FUNERALS: The celebration of baptisms and weddings are suspended in churches until further notice. Funerals can be still be held, with a maximum of 30 people allowed to attend and sit with their bubble of up to 6 people. People are asked to wear a facemask during the service, but places are prepared at 2m of socila distancing for those who cannot do it. FAMILIES, CHILDREN: Resources for a Sunday School are available on our Facebook page every week, along other resources for adults and teenagers. Our Messy Church for children with thier parents/guardinas is held on the 2nd Sunday of a month, at 2.30pm. The Toddlers' Group and After School Christian Club will resume after the first school mid-term break in February. FOOD BANK: Our Food Bank is open every Wednesday, 11am-12 noon, in partnership with the Metropolitan Bradford Food Bank: we collect food for them and take bags already prepared by them. People can receive a one-off help with a self-assessment, but need to contact a social adviser from CHAS (01274 731909) to receive further help, that will be given according to the instructions of the social adviser. It is about making sure that people receive all the help they need to go back on their feet, without falling in a system of dependency. Note that people living in the areas of Buttershaw and Woodside will be redirected to their local foodbank at the Sandale Community Centre (Reevy Road West). Note that the foodbank of the Salvation Army is open every week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9am to 12 noon. OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES: Wibsey drop-in, with the local wardens and ward officer, local police officers, local Incommunities officer and CHAS social adviser (you can make an appointment with her calling St Vincent of Paul: 01274 726790), has resumed every fortnight in our church. ONLINE RESOURCES: Every week, in our facebook page, resources for adults, teenagers and children can be downloaded, and a text to meditate with a video (from the Pilgrim course) is offered to deepen your understanding of what is christian faith. CHRISTIAN COURSES: We are running monthly an evening to explore an aspect of Christan faith. Each time, one of these questions is addressed, and change on a rota: has contemporary science proved faith wrong about the existence of God? Is God just a projection of our desires? Why is there so much suffering in the world if God is love? What is the Bible and how could it be the Word of God with so many horrible passages? Did Jesus really exist or is he a myth? Are the Gospels just a glorifying novel about him? Who was he and why did he die? Is the resurrection of Jesus just a fairy tale for primary school children? Who is the Holy Spirit and what does she do? Why should I pray and what does mean the Lord's prayer? How can I be free if I have to follow ten old fashioned commands? What is faith and why is there so many religions? What is the Church, and what mean baptism and holy communion? What happens after death: can we really believe in heaven and hell? Call the vicar to know more (01274 676359). GIVING: During the difficult time when all church buildings were closed, here at St Paul’s we did everything we could to maintain fellowship and care for our community. Our church has always been reliant on people’s generosity, your generosity, for which we are truly grateful. People give to our church in a variety of ways, but with the closure of our building, we cannot receive those gifts as we usually would, so we really need your help now. We cannot carry on fulfilling our mission in Wibsey without your generosity. Please, read the page ‘Giving’ (p.10 in the tabs) to know more about what we have been doing since the lockdown, and use the Donate button on our home page. Many thanks.
