Month of Prayer

23rd December 2019

During January 2020 we will be spending the month focused on prayer. As well as our regular Sunday services we will also be holding some daily open prayer meetings. We’re going to be asking God to cleanse us and refresh us.

Why? Because we believe God has spoken to us. We believe He has given us a prophecy. We believe He is telling us:

It’s not working.
Lay things down.
Come to Me in prayer
and see how I will restore you.

We believe God is calling us to spend time praying and listening to Him. We must therefore be obedient.

You are very welcome to join us in prayer, either virtually or in person. As part of our month of prayer we have also put together a Prayer Diary of Bible verses that we’ll be praying through twice a day. If you would like a copy then please email [email protected].

It’s Christmas!

7th December 2019

The season of advent is now upon us, the time when we as Christians remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago and prepare ourselves for when he will come again in glory.

Here at BV we’re gearing up for this wonderful and joyous season, the Christmas decorations are up, our Messy Christmas event has taken place and tomorrow sees our traditional Christmas carol concert with the Hall Royd Band. Here’s a glimpse of what else we have going on this Christmas.

Start Course

17th October 2019

If you have questions about God, Jesus and the journey of life then why not come along to our Introductory Night where we’ll tell you all about our Start Course which will run over 6 sessions in the following weeks (at a time to be decided with the participants).

There’ll be no pressure, just open friendly conversation about matters of faith. We’d love to see you.

Wrestling with Life

23rd September 2019

We’re running a Live Pro Wrestling event on Friday 25th October 2019, the evening will feature lots of action along with the story of a life transformed. It is a ticketed event and tickets cost: Adults £5; Under 16s £2; Family Ticket £12. Tickets can be purchased from Refreshed, our charity shop and cafe. There will be refreshments including hot dogs and cheesy nachos available.

Harvest Festival

13th September 2019

Our Harvest service takes place on Sunday 29th September. This year all donated goods will be split between two local charities, the North Bradford Foodbank and Caring for Life. Both are great organisations that do a lot of good work in the communities in which they’re based. If you’d like to support us as we support them then these are the goods they’re looking for.

Freedom!

31st August 2019

We’ve got a new banner going up on the outside of our church today. This is a quote from 2 Corinthians chapter 3, and it reminds us that when we accept Jesus Christ into our lives, when we receive the Holy Spirit therefore we are truly free. This is because we are no longer bound by sin and death. Christ died so that we might receive eternal life. Amen!

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom

Jesus said: I am the Light of the World

29th July 2019

A new Banner should be going up on the outside of Church this week. This quote comes from John’s Gospel chapter 8; it is a reminder that no matter what we have going on in our lives Jesus is always there. That even in the midst of total darkness, even when we have sunk down into the deepest darkest despair we could possibly imagine He is there. Jesus provides the light we need to find our way back out into the sunshine.

Our next Encounter Night

16th July 2019

We are running another Encounter Night on Friday 2nd August starting at 7.30pm. It will be a great opportunity to worship our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to hear from God as He speaks to us. It’s going to be a great evening, so do come and join us as we encounter the Holy Spirit through praise and worship.

New Banner

6th July 2019

A new Banner has gone up on the outside of our church this weekend. As everyone starts thinking about their summer holidays and time away from work or School, time to relax away from all those pressures which we live with in our day to day lives we encourage you to Be still and know God is with you.
