St Martin's Parish Church
Haworth Road Heaton Bradford
Worship Group

This group has a very open membership - everyone is welcome as everyone's views, ideas and opinions are valued. The group meets two or three times a year to review past services; discuss what worked and what didn't. In the past the group devised the small coloured booklets used for the Eucharist each week. They also plan for future worship and any major services, eg Anniversary Festival or Christmas.
Dates of meetings are publicised in the Weekly News or Magazine and the coordinator is Kathleen Damant.
One topic to be considered soon (in conjunction with the Ministry Development Team see below) is based on the following article:
Sundays suit some, but churches must look outside box
Recent research has called on parishes to expand the scope of their vision, urging churches to think beyond the hours of Sunday in their attempts to engage communities with the message of the Gospel. The author asks: "Are we prepared to be flexible and responsive in our approach to church buildings and church services as we seek ways to respond to the widening gap between the inherited faith of the nation and its current practice, understanding and nurture of that faith?"
I think the answer from St Martin's is a rousing `Yes'!
