People o f all ages had
a liv e ly a n d e n jo y a b le
tim e in th e C o c k fie ld
a re a d u r in g a 10 d a y
mission which ended on
Monday.
All sorts o f events were
organised during the period,
and there was a sense of fun at
each of them.
The Methodist Minister, the
Rev Colin Short, was host for
the occasion, in which mem­
bers of his church welcomed 10
men and women from C liff
College, which is in the Peak
District of Derbyshire.
It is a M ethodist college,
specialising in lay training in
biblical studies and evange­
lism.
The events they attended
included the sunshine comer,
holiday club, open air camp,
youth club and finally, on
Monday evening, a love feast.
This was in addition to several
visits to Cockfield School to
take part in the m orning
assembly.
These were joyful visits
which had the pupils singing,
clapping and perform ing
action songs as well as think­
ing about the messages put
across to them.
The team at the school when
the Mercury called — Lilian
Ridley, Shirley Bradshaw,
Frank Holmes and Adrian
Hancock — were given an
enthusiastic reception.
Sunday happened to be the
day, known locally as Camp
M eeting
Sunday,
when
Methodists have by tradition
gone outdoors for a service on
the Fell.
This time it was arranged
for the green next to the
Methodist Church, but a few
hymns were sung earlier on
the Fell, at the camp meeting
ground.
Mr Short and other church
members worked with Cliff
College on details of the mis­
sion for some eight months,
and had three weekend visits
from the team, before the spe­
cial 10 days started.
The minister said the event
was held because the members

of his church believed some of
the most important things in
life included discovering that
God is nice, likes everyone and
loves them all, personally and
individually.
He added: "We believe it is
part o f our responsibility
before God to seek to declare
these truths as we are able.
The college team came to help
us share in this work."
The team was led by Miss
Shirley Bradshaw, a full time
college evangelist, and Mr
Andrew Hinds, a college diplo­
ma student.
They lived in houses around
the village and had meals with
their hosts.
"The hospitality has been
wonderful," Frank Holmes
told the Mercury. "We have
been looked after and fed very
well indeed."
