To talk, walk and share Jesus, inviting others to meet Jesus and live the Jesus way.
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.
Our Senior Pastor, Rev Ashley Evans, is part-way through a sabbatical period at the moment. He’s using part of his time to do some painting and here’s his latest one. This is all about Walking the walk. Searching, seeking, asking & praying. (Seek and ye shall find- Luke 11:5).
To find out more about what Ashley is up to then head on over to our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/boltonvillaschurch/.
If you’re planning on visiting either Bolton Villas or Refreshed this coming week then please be aware that Bradford Council are re-tarmacking Livingstone Road on 1st, 2nd and 3rd July.
In partnership with Bradford Christian youth charity e:merge, we’re offering the opportunity to undertake a gap year with Bolton Villas and e:merge working with children and young people both in our local community and in the wider Bradford area.
To find out more contact e:merge (details in the advert below) or email our Youth Pastor youthpastor@bvurc.org.uk.
Our friends over at New Hope Christian Fellowship are organising a ‘Men be Kind to YOURSELF’ afternoon at The Idle Draper this coming Sunday, 30th June from 2-4pm. It’s a free event with lots of opportunities to chat and build friendships, there’ll also be videos, life stories and curry! Our men would love to see you there.
As Phase 1 of our new website is now very nearly finished we’ve decided it’s time to unleash it to the world! There are still a couple of bits to be added but those should be done soon.
This all means that when you search for Bolton Villas Google should hopefully start returning this website instead of our Facebook page (although that’s not disappearing). We will then start the mammoth task of advertising our new website on Facebook and elsewhere.
We are intending on adding more content to the website over the coming months, so do come back regularly. Also if you would like to see something specific that’s not currently live then do let us know.
Going up on our external notice board at some point this week is a new banner for Pentecost. This is the time when we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit as described in Acts 2, when we pray for the Holy Spirit to come again.
Do come and join us on our various Pentecost events and services this weekend as we pray for a renewing of the Holy Spirit and the peace that only God can give us.
There’s lots of stuff going on over the Pentecost weekend (7-9 June). On Friday 7 June at 7pm we have our main Tough Talk event with speaker Ian McDowall. Then on Saturday 8 June we have two events: a picnic from 11am to 3pm in Roberts Park, Saltaire and an Encounter Night with Pastor Jonathan Dyke at 7pm. Then on Sunday 9th June Pastor Jonathan Dyke will be leading our family service at 10.30am.
To finish the weekend off Wrose Christians Together will be running Safari Sunday, a walk through Wrose visiting each of the churches along the way. We’ll also be joined by John Froud who will be singing some songs for the journey. Do come and join us for should be a great weekend of events.
It’s not often our Lead Pastor, Rev Ashley Evans, and our Youth Pastor, Rev Karl Hanton are seen in their formal uniform! So when they were both seen in their ‘dog collars’ over Christmas we couldn’t resist capturing the occasion.
Welcome to our new website! This site is still a work in progress, however we will continue to add bits to it over the next few weeks. Do come back to see what progress we’ve made.
