Destination 211

Destination 211

A Dewsbury Team Parish outreach supported by Churches Together in Dewsbury

23/01/2024

“Walking in love” is what we’ll be doing until the bus is fixed! Of course “walking” in this Bible verse is talking of living each day loving God and loving others, not how we should transport ourselves from A to B 😆☺️

So Monday 22nd and Wednesday 24th found/find us on foot, connecting with our regulars and anyone passing by - please do stop and say hello! We will be at the usual place with buns and drinks.

However, Wednesday in Chickenley, the team would also LOVE to pop in homes for a very short “Bible chat” group - an opportunity to read out a short passage from the Bible and let everyone have their opinion!
Two team members would attend and be delighted to crack open the Bible with you and your children/grandchildren/neighbours.

You don’t have to be a parent or carer with children either - if you are interested in discovering what is actually in the Bible in a relaxed setting or in your own home, please do get in touch! We can arrange a convenient time during the week 😄

Please DM us if you’re interested and in any case, hope to connect with you in some way very soon!

This will be a great day for all men. Would love more men to join us for this - it could be life changing! Do contact me if you would like to come.

No bus outreach this week!
But do get in touch if you'd like a home visit from the team!

Hi, Joy here - I just thought I might share this with you if you and your families are interested / up for it? 🤷‍♀️ 😃

Hi fam! 21 day family challenge for 2024:
Who’s going to join me in this? 😃 (spoiler alert - everyone 😂)

Key challenge:
“Don’t give God your leftovers.”
So first thing each day:

Let the first thing we do on waking up be to say out loud:
❤️ “I love you Lord.
How can I show you I love you today?
How can I love others today?”

Then for Jesus time:

🙏 Pray for one minute on day one
Pray for two minutes on day two, etc.

📖 Also, read one verse on day one
Read two verses on day two, etc. (Share the reference on this chat daily.)

🎶 The first song you listen to in the day should be a Christian song. (Can be anytime - not necessarily first thing in the morning.)

🍞 Finally, what would you like to fast from?
Choose carefully because you need to stick to it and not give in to temptation! The fast part will start officially on the 8th.

Who’s in? 😃😃😃

Harleen’s beautiful card - “Welcome Home” based on the parable of the lost (prodigal) son reads:

“Welcome home. Life is good with God; God is nice because he brings friends to people.”

What a lovely message of the reconciliation God brings 🫶

Lovely to have the Archbishop of York on his St Paulinus inspired walk from Ossett to Dewsbury via the Destination 211 bus 🚌 😄

Stephen Cotterell and his team were introduced to some of our lovely regulars and given a whistle stop tour of the facilities, with an informative video of the various work the bus does 🙌🏼

On Sunday it was lovely to meet with all the people who joined us for church on the bus (the ‘Thrive’ session).
We had some great actors and narrators for the story of this term: the lost son 😄

As well as sharing the Word (bible passage) we also sing together, have opportunity to pray or be prayed for, do crafts and of course - eat!

Thrive is once a month 3:30pm on the second Sunday of the month in Chickenley and all ages are welcome 🙌🏼 (Admission free!)

Get in touch for more details!

All the best to all our families across Dewsbury who went back yesterday/ today 😄
Here are two of Joy’s children whom many of the children will recognise - Esther and Honor - taken on Honor’s first day of reception and secondary school, and Esther’s start of year 5, 2nd year of Dewsbury College 🤩

Kids grow up so fast and the new term photos are like the start of a new chapter in a book and can bringing up all sorts of emotions (for the parents/caters!).

We hope and pray the kids settle in well, make new friends, reach new goals and we thank God for their safe passage to this point thus far 🙌🏼

We look forward to welcoming the children (and their parents) back on our bus once the various maintenance issues have been ironed out 😄

Crafts and activities are a wonderful way to connect with the children and build relationships on the D211 bus 🎨 and just like Jesus used parables to teach truths, we can use them to teach about the kingdom of God 😄

Can you guess how the ones pictured here were used?
