Winter Fayre

HLBC opens it doors for the very first Winter Fayre!

Lots of local stalls, Fair Trade produce and community crafts.

The Fayre will run in the church buildings from 11.30 til 4pm. Come and get some Christmas shopping done, or enjoy the relaxing and fun atmosphere with refreshments and games.

Community Sunday

10.30am Morning Service

Community Morning. Our series on John continues with John 8.1-11 BUT this morning’s service will be a bit different to usual! For a start, note the change of start time to 10.30am.

Community Sunday is an opportunity to engage in different ways with the scripture for the day. We hope the first thing you will notice will be the welcome. Tea and coffee to begin, and then 4 different opportunities to explore the Bible together as a community.

10.30am – tea and coffee, followed by welcome and intro

10.55am – Four interactive spaces:

• ART SPACE – in the Gym. A creative time to engage with the scripture passage through art.
• READING SPACE – in the Green room. An opportunity to engage with the passage through the lens of current affairs in the newspapers.
• STUDY SPACE – in Graeme’s office. A time to engage with the scripture passage of the day in a basic way with opportunity for discussion.
• LISTENING SPACE – main church. Engage with scripture by listening to the passage being broken open in a more traditional style sermon.

11.40am – Re-gather for worship and Communion.

12 noon – Lunch

6.30pm Evening Worship

A smaller gathering for worship, word and prayer. We continue our study of Ephesians, with Karoly and Paul leading on: ‘Wives and husbands’. (5.22-33)

Bonfire Night

It’s November 5th which can only mean one thing… Bonfire party at HLBC!

Note – there is no Arty Friday this month as Roundhay Park fireworks are on the Friday.

We had an amazing night last year and this time is going to be even better. Hotdogs, baked potatoes, and drinks all provided – bring a dessert to share or a topping for potatoes – something already prepared, please eg: tuna mayo rather than a tin of tuna! (Offers of wood to go on the bonfire are also welcome.)

We will start around 6.30pm so there is plenty of time to eat, enjoy fireworks and chat.
