Surprised? The other day I received a surprise telephone call from an old friend. Emails are fine but they are
not as good as a letter, a phone call is good but is surpassed by a personal meeting. So often we sit back and say
‘nobody communicates with me’ but should we not sometimes make the first move?
Perhaps the same is true of our prayers. It’s a two way process. We are very good about telling God what’s
wrong, and if he did things our way then the world would be a better place. But what if we listen, listen to God.
He answers our prayers, sometimes in the wa y we would expect, but sometimes in totally different wa ys. Are we

 Coffee & Macadamia Ice Cream
This month, which may turn
out to be an Indian summer,
who knows, we have a real
treat- a delicious rich coffee
ice cream recipe.
Transport yourself back to
your childhood by serving it
in a waffle
cone, or
scoop it into
a sundae
dish and
serve with
fresh fruit or chocolate sauce
Preparation time: 30 minutes plus 6 hours freezing
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
600 ml full-cream milk
75g Cafédirect Machu Picchu fresh ground coffee
5 egg yolks
125g Fairtrade golden caster sugar
400ml double cream
1-2 tbsp coffee flavoured liqueur (optional)
75g Fairtrade macadamia nuts, chopped and lightly toasted
Method:
Pour the milk into a pan. Add the Cafédirect Machu Picchu
ground coffee and heat gently over a very low heat. Stir well
and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, whisk and cover.
Leave to infuse for at least 30 minutes. Strain through a very
fine sieve into a bowl.
Beat together the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale
yellow, then add the coffee milk. Gently whisk together and
pour back into a clean pan. Heat gently, but do not boil, until the
mixture thickens slightly.
Pour into a bowl and whisk in the cream and coffee flavoured
liqueur (if using) and macadamia nuts. Leave to cool completely
and remove any surface froth with a spoon.
If you have an ice cream maker, churn the mixture until it
begins to freeze. Transfer into a freezer-proof container and
freeze for 4 hours.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a
freezer proof container, freeze for an hour and then beat gently
to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this twice and then leave to
freeze for a further 4 hours. Remove from the freezer 20
minutes before serving.
(and you can use the left-over egg-whites for a meringue!)
Peek-a-boo. The children were lined up in the cafeteria
of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of
the table was a large pile of apples. A nun had put a note on
the apple tray: "Take only ONE- God is watching." Moving
further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table
was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had writ-
ten a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

Luke 7 (Good News Bible) In blank verse – Iambic Pentameters

When Jesus finished saying all these things
He took the road toward Capernaum.
A Roman colonel lived there with his man
A batman who was very dear to him.
The man was ill and very close to death.
The colonel heard that Jesus was nearby
And sent some Jewish elders seeking help.
They came to Jesus saying, “Please, please come,
This soldier loves our people, and, himself,
Erected here for us a synagogue.”
So Jesus went towards the colonel ’s house,
The soldier’s friends came to him with these words:
“Don’t bother, Sir, I am not worthy that
You come to me, not fit to come to you:
Just say the word, my batman will get well.
I take my orders from the higher ranks
Authority is mine and under me
My soldiers and my slaves take my commands.”
Amazed was Jesus as he heard these words,
Christ turned to those behind Him and He said
“Such faith, believe me, I have never seen
Not here, nor back in Israel whence we came.”
And, back at home they found the batman well.

Kyema Visit June 2010 - The next chapter

By Trevor Jones As it was 21 years since the first water project had
been started, it seemed a good time to have a new
image and a new sign, which has caused a great deal

visit; they are so happy and enthusiastic and want to

METHODIST CHURCH ADOPTS CARBON REDUCTION POLICY

The Methodist Conference confirmed a pledge to reduce the

Church's carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 in line with
government targets after adopting resolutions set out in a carbon
reduction report.

The Methodist Church in Britain has a carbon footprint of around

120,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum for approximately
8,000 of its buildings. The annual energy bill to the Church and
individual ministers is about £19 million a year. Cutting the carbon
footprint has the potential to free up money that can be us ed for
mission.

All local Methodist churches will be ask ed to sign up to the Hope in

God's Future pledge now that Conference has adopted the report.

THE END OF SUMMER

The scent of mown hay on a

late summer’s day.
The heavy air heady as
wine,
The poppies all blowsy, the
bees feeling drows y,
As on nature’s nectar they
dine.

We feel languid and lazy

when mornings are hazy
And the mist slowly melts
in the sun,
The gardens have pea ked
(and our poor backs have
creaked!)
But we’re proud of the
work we have don e.

Fallen petals and nettles
and weeds on the paths –
All the things we’re too
tired to clear,
Soon we’ll feel autumn’s
chill and of course then we
will
Decide what we’ll tackle
next year!

Trinity Church will again this year

Virtue Rewarded
The visiting minister was trying to have
a conversation with a child, while her
mother was in the kitchen pr eparing the
tea and cakes for the visitor.
“So what does your mother do for you
when you’ve been a good girl?” the
minister asked. “I get to stay home
from church,” she replied.
Things you didn’t know
19th Sept is - Car Free Sunday
22nd Sept is - European Car Free Day
A lot of people, believe it or not, have never seen a
Bible and may be uncertain what it is.
The objective of the Gideons, a non-denominational
organisation, is to share God’s message of salvation
through Jesus Christ by personal witness and through
placing Bibles into people’s hands.
The Gideons became established in the British Isles
in 1949. God has since blessed their work. Their work has, in turn,
blessed many people, helping them to seek God and Jesus.
Honley Trinity has been supporting the Gideons through prayers and
financial support. Loose change is collected in plastic tubes (called Mite
Phials) provided by the Gideons to cover the cost of providing school
testaments and scriptures for people who would otherwise not have the
opportunity to read them. Over the years, money collected in Mite
Phials at Honley Trinity Church has been thank fully received by the
Gideons.
Over the last few months, £27.60 has been collected in the Mite
Phials and has been sent to Gideons International Huddersfield
Branch. Thanks again for your contribution.
Please continue to support thi s worthwhile cause – Just give
whatever loose change you have – It can be a one pence copper
or a two pound coin….
You are also invited to continue to pray for the work of the Gideons in
Huddersfield and in other parts of the country and the world.

Funeral Oration
Several children found a dead robin. Feeling tha t a proper burial should be performed, they found a small
box and some cotton wool wrapping, dug a hole in the back yard, and made ready to dispose of the
deceased. The minister's five year old son was chosen to say the prayer. And so with grea t dignity, he
intoned, "Glory be to the Fa ther...and unto the Son...and into the hole he goes."
