GRASS CUTTING

On the 4th August we had a meeting in the Village with a representative of Leeds City Council to discuss grass cutting, or perhaps more to the point the lack of it;

As you may know a Contractor took over from Leeds City Council in 2005 and there was unfortunately a considerable gap when the hand-over took place. Consequently all grass cutting is behind schedule and the Contractor is trying hard to catch up. I agree, not our problem, but that is the explanation.

We drove round the Village to show the extent of the problem and focused on areas that appeared not to have been cut at all.

Around the 10th to the 12th of August you may have noticed a flurry of activity particularly on Aberford Rd, Clifford Rd, the top of Wetherby Rd, and from the Old Peoples Shelter to the Wood Yard gate, so we have been listened to.

Leeds City Council have acknowledged that we have been particularly patient in 2005, and have assured us that the proper schedule will be maintained in 2006.

We now have a map showing the areas to be cut and the frequency, and if anyone is concerned about the grass cutting in 2006 please contact the Environment Group as we will be closely monitoring it.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

This past summer the East Anglia Ambulance Service launched a national “'In case of Emergency (ICE)” campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone's annual life savers award.

The idea is that you store the word 'ICE' in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted “In Case of Emergency'“. In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple - everyone can do it. It really could save hours at time when you need your loved ones most. From the Parish Pump

Dear Friends

The first of September marks the beginning of another Methodist Connexional Year and deacons start a new phase of life and ministry, and it is right that we should remember them in our payers. For them and their families the change brings both challenge and opportunity. The minister must get to know the local community and with it its ethos, needs, strengths and weaknesses as quickly as possible. The ministerial family has to settle into a new home and neighbourhood. If there are children in the manse, they will have to come to terms with a new school, new class-mates and new teachers.

As ministers stand before their new congregations for the first time, they realise the pastoral challenge to get to know each person and family; children and young people; those with special needs; the elderly and infirm; those in long-term sickness and the housebound. In the Methodist Church all ministers, whether those just starting out or those who have served for forty years, share a common calling in that we are ordained to celebrate the sacraments, to preach the word and to care for God’s people.

Of course, ministry in the 21st century provides other challenges for both minister and people, and strangely I find myself turning once more to our founder, John Wesley and his ministry in the 18th century to help focus upon them.

Far from being merely of historical interest John Wesley challenges our Christian discipleship today. Take, for example, his passionate concern for the poor. Significantly, his first open-air sermon preached in Bristol in 1739, was on the text, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.” Wesley’s commitment to mission and service to the poorest people and his ardent support for Wilberforce’s campaign to end the Slave Trade should surely encourage modern Methodists to combat all that enslaves and dehumanises people today.

Also, in our current ecumenical situation, we can take heart from Wesley’s efforts for Christian unity. He insisted that, “The Methodists are the friends of all and the enemies of none” and applied that openness and charity especially towards fellow Christians and other Churches. He believed that even where differences do exist that these should be faced in the context of the major agreements shared on so many others Wesley can still speak to us today and still challenges us to respond, in Christian mission and service, to the needs of the present age. as he so notably did in his.

Rev’d Gary Ridley
