BAMFORD CHAPEL
Mission/Vision Statement
MISSION
TO MAKE KNOWN THE GOOD NEWS OF THE LOVE OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
WORSHIP
We believe as a congregation that our worship should be
wholehearted and meaningful as we join together in praise and
thanksgiving to God. In response to God’s love, we wish to express our joy, to open
our hearts to God’s voice and to respond to His word.
LEARNING
Recognising our need to learn of God and from God, we seek to
provide an environment within which learning and teaching can take place. We
would want to enable each person to accept God into their life and to have the ability
to discuss and share their faith with all.
PASTORAL
We are joined together in our faith by the Holy Spirit. As a loving
fellowship we wish to deepen and extend our care for each other
encouraging everyone to use their gifts, as they are enabled by God, to show
tenderness and compassion in a spirit of humility.
MISSION/SOCIETY
We accept that we are called to make Christ known in our community at Bamford
and in all other places. We would wish to influence others by example and comment,
accepting that God will speak through us as we maintain a relationship with Him. We
recognise the need for the Church to participate in all aspects of the life of the world,
and proclaim God’s will, as it is revealed to us.

Message from the Manse “Seeking God’s Vision for the Church”
I want to start by thanking people for taking part in the recent questionnaire that came out. I have had 61 replies and have put most of the replies into the computer. I want to say thank you for your honesty in the comments you have made. As I stressed on the form, and as hard as it was to do, it was about seeking what God wants for us as Bamford Chapel. As I have stressed in services this is not about making the church into what I “want”, or indeed what any other person “wants”. It is about listening to God and responding in faith to what He says and what He wants. It will be an exciting journey but it may also be, in places, a difficult journey. The responses, as you can imagine, have been varied. For some they feel things are fine as they are. For others there is a strong sense that we need to try different things or alter some things in order to survive as a church as well as to grow as a church. Over the coming weeks and months as we digest the information I want to encourage us all to continue praying. I want to ask some questions for you to think about and pray about:-
In your prayer life what is God saying to you about your role at Bamford Chapel? What you do now, what God may want you to do in the future.
To pray about the areas of our church that may need to
change or areas of weakness that need strengthening. What are these areas? Pray that God will give us the faith to change where we need to change in order that the church will grow.
As we move forward I feel it is important that the Elders read the feedback that we have received as a church. I also feel it is important that we move forward with what we feel God is saying. For this to happen we all need to be committed to what God is saying to us. I feel we need to look at every area and aspect of the church: what we do
3
now; how we do it; looking at areas of weakness and making them strengths. Looking at areas of strength and where we might be able to learn from them to strengthen the weaker areas. We may also feel that some things need to be stopped – so that something better or more suitable can be put in its place. I intend to set up a small group of us to look at the responses to the questionnaires and to look at the church’s vision and mission statement. I don’t see any point in trying to move forward unless we know where are going and for what purpose we are here. With many questions buzzing around in my mind I am setting up a small team (“Vision Strategy Team”) to look at, discuss and pray about, issues around the vision of the church. We will also look at the responses and offer some guidance and suggestions as we feel prompted by God. We will of course feedback at regular intervals so that we all know what is being discussed. I feel this time is an exciting time and a time when God will lead us and God will speak to us….it is our job to listen and respond. I hope we will all travel this road together so that we can see the kingdom advance and the church of Christ grow here at Bamford Chapel so that the church will be here today and also in years to come. God Bless, Richard.

News of the family
People for whom concerns are expressed include Auriel and
Ray Atkins and family, Alastair Linden, Joan Warner and her
sister Sylvia, Don and Wyn Schofield, Dot Craig and family
following the death of Peter, Marjorie and Ken Farrington, Ian
and Anne Newman, Jean Fitton, Ian and Muriel Sturrock, Joyce
and Derek Yates and Christian Platt. Pray also for the little
boy who was knocked down outside St Michael`s school, for
his family and for the other person involved in the accident.
Please remember all these people in your prayers together
with any others known to you or who I may have omitted to
mention.
Belated congratulations to Robert and Jean Foster who
recently celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary whilst
they were away.
Following the magnificent Junior church Anniversary, we think
about our young people at this time. Some of them have
already finished school for the summer and are returning only
to sit exams. Others are facing in school SATs and exams
before the summer holidays. We wish them well in everything
they undertake in the coming months.
Congratulations to Michael Baines and
Rowan Linden who have both achieved
their Queen`s Award in Boys Brigade. Well
done.

By the time you read
this I hope to be back
sharing in the fellowship
at Bamford Chapel. I
would like to say a big
thank you for the many
cards, flowers, visits and prayers I have
received during the weeks I have been
recovering from my hip operation. To those
who provided a week of lovely meals when I
came home, a special thank you, they were all
delicious and much appreciated.

Humility
At times it is important to remember just how small we are.
Franklin D. Roosevelt used to have a little ritual with the famous
naturalist William Beebe. After an evening’s chat the two men
would go outside and look into the night sky. Gazing at the stars
they would find the lower left-hand corner of the big square of
Pegasus. One of them would recite these words as part of their
ritual: “That is a spiral galaxy of Andromeda. It is as large as our
Milky Way. It is one of a hundred million galaxies. It is 750,000
light years away. It consists of one hundred billion suns, each
larger than our sun.” They would then pause and Roosevelt would
finally say, “Now I think we feel small enough. Let us go to bed.”

Stewardship & Discipleship
For the month of June we will be exploring the theme of
Stewardship & Discipleship during which we will
be exploring for three weeks the themes of:
Time, Treasure and Talents
on
June 16th, 23rd and 30th respectively
I encourage all of us to come to these services as we explore these important themes as part of
Seeking God’s Vision for Bamford Chapel.
If there are three areas which are of vital importance for
us as a Church as we seek to move forward is for us all
to use the God given gifts of our time, talents and
treasure. And the importance of praying for God to lead
and guide us in how we use these precious resources
God has given to us.
God Bless

The Saint Vincent De Paul Society
(SVP) organised the seminar
calling together people who could
talk about the new benefit
changes and their effects and to
consider what we as Christians are
doing or can do to help.
Donna Bowler from Rochdale
council outlined the changes in
benefits which the new system of
Universal Credit is bringing about.
Benefit-capping means that the
total benefit anyone can claim will
be capped at £350 per week for an
individual and £500 per week for a
family. People will now have to
use computers to access the
benefit to which they are entitled
and to open bank accounts to
receive them. They will become
responsible for making their own
payments for rent, utilities, etc.
The net result of the new system is
that many people will have their
benefits cut by up to 25%.
Clare Tostevin of Rochdale
Borough Housing (a privatised
company who manage the 14 000
council houses in Rochdale
Borough) was able to add to what
Donna had said e.g. the “bedroom
tax” will affect many people and
that there is very little housing
available for those who want to
move to a smaller property. She
was aware of the many people on
benefits who had great needs:
their lack of experience in
managing money, using IT, sub-
letting rooms to tenants, etc. They
were making efforts to advise
people with regard to these issues.
John Colligan spoke about his work
sitting on tribunals which deal with
appeals about disability benefits,
now called Personal Independence
Payments (PIPs). He said it was
always possible for anyone who
felt they were not treated fairly
with regard to PIPs could make
appeals.
The impact of welfare reform in Rochdale
and the response of Christians in the Borough. SVP Seminar, Sunday 28 April 2013

The current response of Christians
to this situation was covered by
Addie speaking about Street
Pastors caring for people on the
streets of Kirkholt and Iain Wight
speaking about how the Foodbank
was helping people with short
term money problems to feed
their families.
Discussion followed and we were
left with the question about what
further response should Christians
be making.
Addie & Barbara Redmond
Many congratulations to Michael and Rowan, for
achieving their Queens badge, the highest award in the
Boys Brigade.
They were presented with their awards at a ceremony
in Liverpool on May 12th,a very proud day for the
Second Rochdale Company (based here at Bamford
Chapel)
Michael was also chosen
to parade in the colour party.
A very big thank you to all who
work with the Boys Brigade,
and especially to Emma and
Alistair.
The Baines family.

Advance Notice of the 2013 Project
Gulu-Lancashire Link
Gulu is a town in Northern Uganda. The armed conflict which afflicted Northern Uganda, where many boys were taken to fight in the Lord’s Resistance Army, devastated the local economy, environment and traditional social patterns of self help and mutual support. Also there are serious local impacts of climate change. The life expectancy of people in Gulu is 43–46 and most of the work is done by women’s co-operatives. If any of the young people who were taken to fight in the Lord’s Resistance Army have returned, they are very traumatised. The Gulu – Lancashire Link is a community based charity which aims to promote and facilitate mutually beneficial links between people in Gulu and Lancashire. Derek Taylor and Mark Wiggan came to tell us about the link which is about personal relationships and projects are decided through consultation with the project leaders in Gulu. These small scale practical projects were developed in consultation with the people of Gulu:-
Tree planting
Agro-forestry – planting crops under the trees
Bee keeping
Bio-diesel fuel
Wetland conservation
Waste management and recycling – making jewellery from discarded colour magazines
The project participants have been very positive about the scheme and it has improved social interaction in the town. The successes have been
The participants have become self- sufficient growing crops to feed themselves and to sell.
There has been increased honey production with the new style of hives.
15
The seeds which have been collected have been processed to produce bio fuel for generators and glycerine to make soap.
The jewellery has been sold to supplement household income.
The preservation of the wetlands and the tree planting in the long term should impact on climate change
The charity in Gulu will be consulted as to what they would use the money for. Possible ideas are
A machine to purify the honey Planting more trees Developing the recycling jewellery project
River and Sky Move our hearts with the calm, smooth flow of
your grace. Let the river of your love run through
our souls. May my soul be carried by the current
of your love, towards the wide, infinite ocean of
heaven. Stretch out my heart with your strength,
as you stretch out the sky above the earth.
Smooth out any wrinkles of hatred or resentment.
Enlarge my soul that it may
know more fully your truth.
A prayer of Gilbert of Hoyland,
(died c.1170,

Many years ago I had the pleasure of introducing this work at Bamford Chapel when Geoff Yates was our Minister – he had drawn my attention to it, and the choir enjoyed learning and presenting it. Recently some of the congregation became aware that United Christian Singers are reviving it this summer, and suggested that I make that known here so that anyone who wished could hear it again. These are the dates and locations:
Sunday 9th June at 6.30 Atherton Parish Church
Saturday 15th June at 7.30 Christ Church, Southport
Sunday 23rd June at 6.30 Alderley Edge Methodist Church
Saturday 29th June at 7.30 St. John’s Methodist Church, Horwich
(This last date is also the occasion of the URC Day in Blackpool)
The choir had an unexpected and very generous bequest from a member’s daughter, and the visit to Southport is dedicated to her memory and will be financed from her gift. Christ Church is the very prominent one on Lord Street, very close to the War Memorial and in the heart of the shopping area. It has a thriving café – if you are in the town, pop in there for coffee or lunch and have a look round. This is a church taking full advantage of its prime location to reach out to passers-by. The worship area has been comprehensively modernised and equipped. There are two services on Sunday mornings – one in traditional Anglican liturgical format and the later one designed to attract and meet the needs of younger families. Once a month the two congregations combine, with options for members of breakfast or lunch before or after worship. The location of this church gives it immense advantages, and it has an information stall on the street that passers-by cannot fail to notice. If we had that sort of location, I am sure we too would turn it to great advantage!
The Witness A Musical by Jimmy and
Carol Owens
17
UCS is very much missing the presence of Auriel Atkins, who has been one of its most loyal and committed members. Michael Lucas is with us, and Malcolm Gate has accepted my invitation to sing the highly dramatic role of Judas in “The Witness”.
UCS had its beginnings in our Chapel, and, although most of those who were part of the choir at its foundation have dropped out over the years, I continue to be grateful for the support this church gave to us at the outset. The 90 members in membership with us at the moment include many who have been with us over our 20 plus years of existence whilst others joined only a few weeks ago! Incidentally, to underline the ecumenical nature of the choir, one row of men comprises two retired Methodist ministers and one retired Roman Catholic priest!
Walter Brisk
From the Bamford Chapel magazine
June 1988 (25 years ago)
For those of you who were unable to attend the performance
of “The Witness”, what a treat you have missed!
A very enjoyable modern, up-tempo interpretation of TIME’S
oldest story, which surely must have a message for us all….
I was quite touched to see how many people were so deeply
moved, and have to admit that I too was close to tears on
more than one occasion.
I would almost liken it to an old love story movie -
friendship, love, pathos, and ending with great jubilation and
hope.
A musical piece sung with devotion - narrated with emotion.
Well done, choir and musicians, and thank you!
Diane Robinson
Don’t miss it this time round!

The Garden Party is only a success because so many people work so hard to make it so. What can you
do to make this one the best yet?
Prayer for faith in God Heavenly Father,
When the world is wobbling and our lives spin out of our
control, when everything seems wrong and we don’t know
how to put things right, give us the gift of faith: believing
faith, trusting faith, expectant faith.
Faith to believe that Jesus is Lord, your Son and our
Saviour, alive today.
Faith to transfer our trust from our own efforts, which are
insufficient, to his achievement on the cross, which is all-
sufficient, bringing forgiveness and reconciliation with you,
our creator and loving Father.
And expectant faith, that in our trouble, in our helplessness,
in our fear, you will hear our prayers and act; you will bring
hope and healing, rest and resolution, for your kingdom
glory and for our benefit and well-being.
In every circumstance of our lives, give us
faith – in you, Sovereign Lord.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
