In the 19th century when photography was invented, the photographer would take an ordinary piece of glass and coat it with a solution of silver nitrate. This would make it sensitive to light. The glass plate would be placed at the back of the camera, and the lens cap removed so that the image could be imprinted as a negative, before being fixed and printed as a positive image on paper. It was quite a procedure.

In John’s Gospel it says that John the Baptist “was not the light, he came only as a witness to the light.”

The key characteristic of a disciple who wants to be a witness to the light, is that we first became sensitive to the light. When we spend time with Jesus in prayer or worship, it is as if we are being coated in a solution of light-sensitive Holy Spirit, so that when we emerge into the light of everyday life, we are sensitized to the opportunities which God gives us to be witnesses.

We are sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to ‘walk across the room’ and engage someone in conversation. We are sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is telling us to say or not to say. We are sensitive to the needs and concerns of the people we listen to. And we can carry their image imprinted in our hearts and minds to be developed later in the dark room of prayer. As the technology of image-making developed, it led to continuous film that could capture movement. If we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we are continually open to the movement of God’s Spirit in us and in others, and able to respond to the slightest nudge, the merest whisper of God’s voice.

As we launch the short four week course “Just Walk Across the Room: Steps pointing people to the faith” let’s take the opportunity to discover how God can use every ordinary disciple and make us extra-ordinarily sensitive to the opportunities that arise every day to be witnesses to the light. We’ve planned the course “Just Walk Across the Room” on a fortnightly basis, so that house groups can meet in the intervals, but some house groups are coming to the course as a group. In addition individuals who don’t belong to a group are welcome to participate. The evenings will be held from 7.30 - 9.30 pm in the Barnabas Rooms, St. Paul’s, Walton, on May 9th and 23rd and June 6th and 20th. Rupert

What about Pentecost?

He has left with us the earnest of the Spirit, and taken from us the
earnest of our flesh, which he hath carried into heaven as a pledge
that the whole shall follow after! Tertullian

Years ago one of my friends in the church of Uganda asked me to come to one of their community units and share my testimony. I agreed and went - but before I began the leader asked me to identify which denomination I was a part of.
In my reply I said that I wanted them to understand that first and foremost I was a Christian, but that I practiced my Christian faith within the Pentecostal church. In other words I told him I was a Christian first and a Pentecostal second, and if I was asked that question today, I’d say the same.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I like being a Pentecostal for many reasons, but I’m still a Christian first and Pentecostal second because denomination is a man-made concept and, as such, all denominations have flaws - even the Pentecostals! In my opinion one of the flaws found in the Pentecostal denomination is the fact that - other than Easter and Christmas - we do not observe the Christian calendar. We don’t celebrate the same high and holy days and other events like Ascension Sunday, Lent or Pentecost Sunday, that other Christians around the world do. I for one think that’s a sad thing because by ignoring these special events, we miss out on a powerful teaching tool that could be used to remind ourselves and our children of important spiritual truths.

I am very much aware that this is the month of Pentecost - the period that follows Lent, and another flaw in certain denominations is that when it comes to Pentecost they focus on the wrong things. They focus on the wind and the fire, especially the speaking in tongues. Amazing as this part of Pentecost Sunday was - it’s wrong to focus on it alone, because to do so is to miss the central message of this event - the truly wonderful thing about all this. The thing that jumps out to me about the first Pentecost is that the miraculous experience, as wonderful as it was, was a means to an end and not an end in itself. The significance of Pentecost is what happened as a result of the Holy Spirit and that’s what I want us to focus on.

Firstly, because of Pentecost the disciples themselves were changed in a very real sense. These disciples were wanted men. It took a lot of courage for them to obey Jesus and return to Jerusalem because as His disciples, they were associated with a convicted and recently executed criminal - an enemy of Rome. I’m sure they would have rather headed for the hills. It’s no wonder that they spent ten days fearfully hiding behind closed doors. The pre-Pentecostal disciples were like a company of soldiers in a hideout during war, surrounded by an enemy that outnumbered them a thousand to one. But when the Holy Spirit of God came and dwelt in each of them, they threw doors open and came charging out in public as bold, courageous witnesses. Before, they were like frightened mice. Afterwards, they were like lions roaring out the mighty deeds of God.

You know, we should be just as bold and courageous, and the fact is we’ve no excuse - we can be just as forthright as the disciples because if we are Christians, each of us has experienced Pentecost. The Bible teaches that the moment we ask Jesus to forgive us our sins, and come into our hearts and life - He does. At that instant the same Holy Spirit comes to live in us. From that moment He is always ready and willing to give us not only the opportunity to witness but the courage and necessary words as well. We can be just as lion-hearted as these men and women were. We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions and the nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become. That is what happened to those people. The disciples were expecting power to rule but when Jesus came to live in them, what they received was power to witness. This is because the Holy Spirit generated the passion within to carry out Christ’s command.

Then the final thing that reminds us of Pentecost is that the Church was born! What a birth it was. 3000 men, women and children became Christians and experienced new birth that day.

When there are two children born, they’re called twins. Then comes triplets, quadruplets etc. I wonder what you would call 3000 babies born to the same parent. Can you imagine how our Heavenly Father was on that day as people became the church - they continued to do what the disciples had already been doing - studying the written Word of God. They did this because as new born Christians they showed the sincerity of their faith because as Jesus said: If you abide in my word, then you’re truly disciples of mine.”

They also devoted themselves to prayer, knowing they could do nothing without God’s power. They always spoke to God before they spoke with man; they always went to God before they went out to the world; they could meet the problems of life because they had first met God. They worshipped - not privately but publicly - in the temple courts right under the noses of these same people who had plotted to arrest Jesus. They experienced amazing fellowship, and a ‘sweet-sweet’ spirit was in that place. This new church was awe-inspiring. The lost people in Jerusalem saw all that God did through the first Christians. They saw how loving they were and all this made them want to follow Jesus.

I’m sure you’d agree that the behaviour of those 3000 new believers shows us what a truly spirit-filled Church should look like. When I say spirit-filled, I mean a body of believers who are led by the Spirit of our Lord, a group of Christians who function as a body of Christ. To me these first days in the history of the Church shows us what a local Church is to look like and act like when every believer follows Jesus as Lord. When we do this in our local Church, when we allow Jesus’ Spirit to direct our thoughts and actions, we have the same effect on the lost. Our spirit- filled fellowship will draw people to Jesus. In fact it’s another way of lifting Jesus up! Remember Jesus said “If I be lifted up, I’ll draw all men to me!” Emmanuel

Celebrating “Better Together”

Members of St. Helen’s and St. Paul’s gathered together on 29 April to celebrate the completion of our Lent Discipleship Course, Better Together: 40 Days of Community. The worship was uplifting and the testimonies inspiring. In both the 9.15 am and 10.45 am services Margaret Sutcliffe led the way and set the tone:

    “The emphasis of the course was working together to follow the
    teachings of Jesus Christ. We learnt of the importance of being
    honest, patient and forgiving, ready to help anyone in need in a
    patient and caring manner.”

Judith Parkin shared that her group had enjoyed exploring the implications of sharing Christ’s love. The course was nourishing spiritually and encouraged them to go out into the community, and reach out to those not yet in God’s Kingdom.

Roger Parker spoke of their group serving the wonderful work of St. George’s Crypt, in Leeds, which caters for the homeless in our area. By providing loaves of bread regularly, they can help meet the need for 800 loaves per week.

Anne Oldham spoke of how she had learnt from the course that material things don’t matter, that they are transient. It’s good to de-clutter our lives and help others. The happiest people are those who give the most.

Janet Gardiner spoke of how amazingly well their group on Portobello had gelled together. The prayer times were wonderful, and their project, to help build a 5-a-side all-weather football pitch for the young people, was a real challenge.

Emmanuel Were spoke of the importance of God’s WORD, which leads us to Worship, Outreach, Relationship and Discipleship. And how God brings reconciliation into people’s lives.

Theresa Cornish spoke of how God had met them in the group, how she enjoyed the discussions, and how wonderful it was to settle in a small group. Even when she didn’t feel like going, it was always worth it. Their plan was to serve neighbourhood BBQ’s this summer.

Viv Buckley shared how the course had helped change the way we think about things. That we need to step out of our comfort zone and take risks in faith.

Helen Gill said that being with other Christians is an inspiration. On one’s own, one tends to drift. But together we can learn and grow.

Felicite Dodd said that the course was challenging and led to a desire to encourage those in Walton who had drifted, to come back through prayer and invitation to a garden party.

Liz Rowe said their group had emerged from the Alpha Course and gelled well. They were relaxed together and looked forward to helping Terry on the allotments and working with the elderly.

Liz Clark with her husband Neale were new members of a group. They enjoyed the book which had opened up new pathways. They recognised the importance of not gossiping, and other thought-provoking insights from Rick Warren.

Pat Peel said their group was already reaching out in many ways. They were encouraged by the Holy Spirit to love, support and nourish people we contact in daily life.

Mavis Rowley said their group was a good mix, and that new members had enriched their study.

Angie Goddard said it was good to belong to God’s family and to grow by reaching out. They were inspired to help with Soul Portobello and do a beetle drive for the CROSS project.

Bob Coursey’s group valued the deep biblical roots and grew together during the course, especially as they shared prayers and planned their project.

Julie Hay & Liz Morton said their group hadn’t watched the DVD talks but that the book had inspired some amazing discussions, with heart-searching highs and lows. They looked at how they could support each other and extend that love outwards, how to build unity and welcome and engage with people. This led to the first of their surprise projects, to serve hot chocolate after a church service!

As you can see, the response to the course was very positive and has led to real spiritual growth in our house groups. That in turn has led to a wonderful range of outreach projects listed below. Do be praying for the projects to come to fruition during the year. Rupert & Sally

Twenty Outreach Projects:

Sally then shared some thoughts from the writer on Christian social outreach,Ann Morrisy:

1. Mission is always changing in the way it is delivered.

2. We need personally and as a church to move towards Jesus and
create cascades of Grace.

3. Jesus invests in the most unlikely people.

4. We often use money to do our social action - here (in these projects)
we are in it ourselves as people.

From Hebrews 12:

“Christ is the Son in charge of God’s people - we are these people
IF we keep on being brave and don’t lose hope. Amen.

I am immensely grateful to Sally and to Catherine Heaton for co-ordinating this worthwhile course, and to Bill and Peggy Ritchie at St. Paul’s, Angie Goddard and Judith Parkin at the 9.15 service and Catherine Heaton and Anna Young at the 10.45 service for helping with the organisation.

If the comments above have inspired you to join a group or help with a project, do ring me on 255441 or the Parish Office 259966.

May God continue to bless the church which is the Body of Christ as we move towards celebrating the church’s birthday on the
Day of Pentecost on 27 May. Rupert

Just Walk Across the Room
Simple steps pointing people to faith.

As a follow-up to our Alpha Course and Better Together: 40 Days of Community, we’re going to be running a short four week course in May and June, to encourage us to see how in our everyday lives we can help point people to faith. The key to this course is not having the gift of evangelism, nor learning a particular technique; the key is to listen to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the key to our witness: “You will receive energy when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses.......”

Each of us has the Holy Spirit, and consequently, everyone of us can be witnesses where we are. In fact we may be the only person who can point some people to Christ. So this course will help us see how much God can do through us, if we take those few tentative, but spirit-prompted, steps to engage with people we come across in life. The course will consist of four sections:

1. 9 May The single greatest gift

2. 23 May  Life in 3D Develop Friendships
                Discover Stories
                Discern Next Steps

3. 6 June The Power of Story

4. 20 June Grander Vision Living

The course will be in the Barnabas Rooms 7.30 - 9.30 pm with coffee and dessert. There will also be a four part sermon series to tie in with the key themes.

So do make a point of attending the course if the Holy Spirit gives you a nudge, and let me or Sally know.
Yours in gratitude for those who pointed us to faith, Rupert

Preaching Themes for 2007

We started this year focussing on the themes of the Lent Course, “Better Together”. During the rest of the year, there will be three tracks, beginning with an extensive exploration of the Book of Revelation, following the recent sermon on chapter six which met with such a positive response.

The aim is to show how relevant John’s apocalyptic vision is to our contemporary world, as well as to explore its original context. The structure of the series is based on the book by Eugene Peterson, who translated The Message, entitled Reversed Thunder: The Praying Imagination of John.

The second track will look at spiritual disciplines for contemporary life, and is based on John Ortberg’s book, The Life You’ve Always Wanted.

The third track will focus on simple steps pointing people to the faith. It will be an attempt to encourage us in our personal witness. Based on Bill Hybel’s book Just Walk Across the Room, the four part series will tie in with a course with the same name, which will be run in the Barnabas Rooms on 9 and 23 May and 6 and 20 June, which anyone is welcome to join.

I hope that these themes will give us a balanced diet of scripture and practical application which will strengthen our faith and enable us to continue maturing as disciples of Jesus Christ. Rupert

Christian Aid Week, 13th - 19th May

St. Helen’s

Please collect envelopes from the table at the entrance to St Helen’s. Let’s see if we can raise more than last year with street collections around Sandal.

St. Paul’s

St Paul’s will be hosting a Coffee Morning, 10 am - 12 noon, on Saturday 12th May to which everyone is welcome to come.

Christian Aid Week is a wonderful opportunity to show our faith through action while making a real difference for the neediest communities around the world, regardless of faith, colour or politics.

African Connection News

It’s been a few months since we gave an update on the Komenya village project so its time to keep you lovely folk informed on the comings and goings. As you are all probably aware African Connection provides (up to now) 35 children with shoes, uniform and basic school books and pencils in order to attend primary education and we also have on loan to us, a little house that has been transformed into a basic resource centre where any child in the immediate vicinity who wants to study can attend every afternoon and Saturday. There are children of varying ages from 5 to 15. Could you imagine any of our students here in Britain attending a class with such a varied age in one year group? In Komenya, Kenya it is common and an accepted way of life. Young people are hungry to learn but if there’s no money for uniform – there’s NO SCHOOL! That’s basically what African Connection is all about – education! and it comes in many forms.

Did you hear about Ali Bullivants whirlwind visit to the village? Thank you Ali, you did so much to boost the moral of the dedicated local volunteers and children alike, particularly project co-ordinator Peter and his wife Elizabeth and Jacki (all local people). These dedicated people are all trying to improve the standard of education for all who want to learn in this remote little village. You won’t be surprised to hear there was “music” and “laughter” and I’m sure the songs she taught them will be humming around the compound – in fact that is exactly what Peter told me only a few days ago. The whole spirit of the project was boosted.

More good news – we have stepped out a bit further and we are now able to provide porridge on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday alongside a piece of local fruit for all the children who attend homework classes. The numbers are swelling and more than 60 children attend so please keep supporting us when we have a “do”, which leads me to the Fashion Show we held in Barnsley. To all those who attended “Wasn’t it a fabulous night ?” and to all those who couldn’t make it, “Don’t worry there will be something in Wakefield soon”. We raised (after all the expenses) a fantastic £1,600. GOD really does have a way of providing doesn’t he? We were worrying a bit about where all the money would come from to give 3 meals a week and the increased expenses but HE knows all about those lovely children in Komenya and HE’S opening doors. WE just have to LISTEN and DO and not worry so much. HE WILL PROVIDE A WAY.

More great news. Thanks to Peter Omolo (Past Bradford Careforce worker & graduated student of Belfast Bible College) who has agreed to take a group of 10 young adults from Nairobi to the Komenya project at the end of June for 9 days and work alongside the village children. Not only our children will benefit but we’re hoping that 5 feeder schools will also benefit from the teams presence there. These 10 young people will be assisting with assemblies and working alongside the young people in the mornings (a bit like Cross project here in the UK). In the afternoons they’ll work in the project with one to one homework tuition etc, but more so giving of their time and showing the children that these young adults who live in Nairobi care enough to come back to the villages, (their ancestral homes) and give something back ! On the Saturday there will be a BIG coming together of all the schools for a SPORTS and PRAISE day – can you believe that! Now, going back to that £1,600 raised last month……we’ve never managed to raise anything like it before in any one event. It had to be ! There’s work to be done ! There is so much more to tell you, but for now, thanks to you all for your support in so many ways and keep praying that all will come to fruition (the last week in June) for Peter and his Aflame team.

God Bless

Yvonne on behalf of all the African Connection team.

Portobello Rainbow Cafe

As you are all aware, we are endeavouring to keep the cafe open as much as possible and I do thank all those who supported it (and me) through the Easter holidays. What a joy and privilege it is for me to be on the estate in the cafe. Opening times are as follows:

        Mondays        9am - 2.30pm
        Wednesday      8.30am - 11.45am
        Thursday        8.30am - 11.45am
        Friday        8.30am - 11.45am

Any help would be very gratefully received at the cafe itself. However, our real need is for some extra help at The Spring on Wednesday and Friday mornings 10am - 12.30pm.ish or even Wednesday pm and some Thursdays, to cater for holidays. Please, please, if you can help do give me a ring on 242593.

Portobello Over 60’s Club

We wish to extend a huge thank you to St. Helen’s bell ringers for a fabulous evening last Thursday 27 April, especially Margo, Clive, John and their helpers. 25 of us from the Bella Club enjoyed a wonderful welcome and some great practice at both the ‘big bells’ (for those who could negotiate the dizzy heights!), and the handbells for those more restricted by age and nerves. We finished off with a buffet at The Spring, where we swelled the coffers. What a privilege to have such a magnificent church to ‘show off’, as well as the warmth and love extended by Rupert, Sally and the ringers. Thank you Lord.

Our next over 60’s evening is on 24 May at the Rainbow Cafe where we are having a Pie ‘n Pea Supper with the Merrie City Singers coming to entertain us. We will probably fit in the usual bingo, quiz and/or beetle. Do please feel free to join us for these social nights 6-8.30pm, when we finish off with a time of prayer.

In June we are hoping to get a trip to the Mining Museum as many of our ladies and gents haven’t been, so watch this space... Terry & Pam

Away Weekend

At St. Oswald’s Pastoral Centre, Sleights, Whitby- 1st/2nd June

We have booked St. Oswald’s Pastoral Centre for a weekend, for anyone wishing to spend some quiet time with God. The centre is in beautiful countryside. It has 10 single rooms and 3 twin. If you would like to spend a little time away from the busyness of everyday life, where you can enjoy having time to be with God and Jesus coming closer to Him and allowing Him to come close to you, why not think of coming on this weekend away.

We shall arrive at about 4.30pm on Friday 1st June and leave after lunch on Sunday 3rd June. The cost is £78 per person for full board and part of the time we shall have some input from the retreat leader at the centre. These sessions are entirely optional and if you just wish to be away in a quiet atmosphere that is fine. Please don’t be put off if you haven’t experienced a led retreat before as this is tailored for those whose first time it is as well as for those who have already been away like this before. I really want to encourage anyone to take this opportunity of having time to “spiritually sunbathe” - and receive what God has for you on a break away with Him.

Any questions please have a word with me - Tel. 274366. I do need to let the centre have the numbers fairly soon so don’t delay too long if you think you would like to come. With love for Jesus, Pam Payling

Ten days of Prayer
