Welcome to the churches of Little Horton in Bradford

Sunday worship:

As more people are gradually wishing to re-engage with worship services in person, our churches are now worshipping through two services on a Sunday morning, one in each building to ensure we can still maintain safe social distancing.

So we’ll be at St. Oswald’s at 9:30 and All Saints at 11:15 each Sunday morning.

The 9:30 am Sunday services are live streamed for you to follow at home if you’re still not sure about coming out in person yet, Feel free to join us live at the time, or at any point through the week – the services stay up on the Facebook page for as long as you need them!

On the first Sunday of each month though, we meet as one Church all together, alternating between our two buildings, the next one is 10:30 am, Sunday 5th February at St. Oswald’s..

All Saints

All Saints Church

We believe that God loves us and that he sent Jesus to die for us and to rise again from the dead.  Through faith in Jesus we find our wrongdoings forgiven and we know peace with God and with one another.  And one day we look forward to being with God in heaven.

Sundays
Sunday worship is at 11.15 a.m. when we meet God in the teaching of the Bible and in Holy Communion.   After the service time we serve drinks and cake and a chance to meet one another.

For beginners
Once or twice a year we offer a six week ‘START!’ course for those wanting to explore their faith.  In a small group in the vicarage we meet over coffee and video to discuss the meaning of life.

Our Vicar

We also have a once a month ‘Sunday Special’ service, where both churches meet together, alternating between our two buildings, to celebrate God’s goodness in lively, family friendly setting – will you come a long and give it a go? The next one will be Sunday 5th February at St. Oswald’s..

 

MIdweek Prayer and Communion:

We open All Saints each Wednesday morning at 10:30 for half an hour’s quiet, reflective prayer, followed by a simple commmunion service at 11am, it’s a lovely way to notice God in our lives in the middle of the week.

For anyone you may know who doesn’t find the internet easy, did you know that the Church of England have created a helpline called Daily Hope? This is aimed at those who do not have access to the internet and all the online resources. Using a freephone number (0800 8048044), it offers a hymn, reading and prayer.

The Church of England have also prepared a really valuable set of reflections for promoting mental health and wellbeing at this time, why not take a look?

Weekly Bible Studies

St. Oswalds and All Saints are pleased to have a choice of weekly online Bible studies for anyone wanting to think a little more about God’s word.

We don’t put the zoom link’s on the website, but you can get them by signing up to our weekly newsletter.

We also have a Bible Study group for those who are new to English. it’s on a break at the moment, but should be up and running again soon!

Pop up Pantry 

Thanks to our Friends at InnChurches  it’s great to be able to offer low cost food to anyone from the community who might be able to make use of it, as well as an opportunity for a cup of tea and a chat. We open the pantry at All Saints each Thursday at 12:30, and ask for £1 donation per five items. In order to make what we have go round everyone who might like some, we do ask that customers only take one of each item. The range of what we have varies week by week, but there’s always a selection of fresh and store cupboard food to keep you going!
