I'm looking for ...
God
... to say
Thank You or Please, Help or I'm Desperate. OK, so God's looking out for
us all, but we're here as part of his 'body' to help where we can. And we're sorry we don't have a picture of God, our heavenly Father, on this page. Here are a few pointers as a start:
To say 'Thank You' It has been said that the shortest prayer is "Help". The next easiest must be "Thank you, God", indeed, the Bible encourages thankfulness in all circumstances (I Thessalonians 5 17 & 18). That's not always easy, so here are a few links for other circumstances:
Help understanding the Bible Gideons (01455 554241) / Bible Gateway (On line keyword and verse by verse tracking).
Word on the Web Daily Bible Notes on line, with weekly views from a variety of people across the church.
Methodist On-Line Bible Study, with daily readings and commentary
Wycliffe Bible Translators Translating the Bible into every language; also: add to the online collection of My Favourite Verse
The Word (UCB) Word 4u 2day, new thought each day
Alpha Course Various churches run the Alpha Course - and other similar programmes - helping folk to find answers to questions about God; find a church from this list.
Who is Jesus? ReJesus - web-based fact file.
Some simple Prayers Just a few prayers.
Help with Finance / Cash Flow The Hope Centre, based in Albert Street, Harrogate, have run a debt counseling centre up to 2005.
Bereavement, despair, physical or emotional illness Contact your local priest, minister or pastor where possible (links via Service times). Some churches and Christian groups in Harrogate offer accredited counselling services, such as Wellspring, affiliated to UCHM Counselling, based in Huddersfield, who are quoted as offering "counselling to anyone in need, as the counselling will only include issues of faith if you request this. There is no set charge for this service, but clients are encouraged to make some regular donation towards their counselling."
It's been a long time, but I want to come back Find out about the courses offered by many churches; over recent years many churches have run special events for those getting back on their pilgrimage.
I want to move on in my pilgrimage A Retreat Centre? An intensive course of study - in Harrogate, or a Bible College?
Return to the "I'm looking for..." menu.
Christianity On Line, Findachurch or the Anglican A Church near you may help you find other churches or resources to help you in your pilgrimmage.
