As we approach the Easter weekend here is a little reminder of what is going on at MBC…
| Day and Time | What’s On |
|---|---|
| Good Friday 10am | Reflection in the building – time to sit, be, reflect, draw, read on Good Friday |
| Good Friday 10.30am-11.00am | Service |
| Good Friday 11.00-11.45am | Reflection in the building – time to sit, be, reflect, draw, read on Good Friday |
| Good Friday 12.00 midday | All Age Easter egg hunt with some craft activities |
| Good Friday 2.00pm | MBC Walk Meeting Point: White Wells Car Park, Ilkley, Google Maps Ref: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gW4wfiJfv7TmmWJB8 (If there are no spaces then you can park in Darwin Gardens or on Wells Road itself). Length of walk: 1.5 hours in total (maximum) From the car park is the steepest part of the walk, for around 10 minutes and after that it levels off for a while. The inclines are not too steep and the path is a gravel one with few muddy bits. I would recommend walking boots or sturdy trainers if you have them, just for your comfort. Feel free to take it at your own pace. You might want to bring a warm drink and a snack as well as suitable outer wear as it can be a little windy at the top! Krys says that there are a few roadworks A65 in Burley in Wharfedale that are creating a bit of a hold up in central Ilkley so you may want to allow a bit of extra time or go via the Cow and Calf pub instead. Otherwise, just sit and enjoy the scenery. |
| Easter Sunday 11am | Sunday celebration service with baptisms and everyone welcome for Easter refreshments and tea/coffee after the service. We encourage you to share lifts, walk up to church if you are able and arrive before 11am. Extra chairs have been put out too. Look forward to seeing you! Do pray for Jason, Rebecca and Rowan being baptised from MBC. |
A reminder that the funeral of Barbara Dews, Howard Dews’ mother will be on April 11th at 12pm with refreshments and drinks in the building after the service. All those who knew Barbara or would like to support Howard are welcome to both.
In May … calling all gardeners! The church will be holding its annual charity plant sale again in May this year and as always it is your contributions that will enable it to happen. The weather has been awful, but now is the time to split and pot perennials, sow seeds and pot up runners so they will be attractive plants by May. If anyone needs advice or pots, please contact Jenny (or Lesley to pass onto Jenny) and also if you would like to help on the day (either 4th or 18th May).
Finally thank-you to all who were able to come to church on Tuesday for the church meeting. Thank you for your prayers and kindness on the evening. Also to our tech team who made a private YouTube channel possible for those who were unable to get there but wanted to be part of it. We continue to seek God in the new season and pray for all those who were mentioned on the night in any capacity.
Blessings
