Today is Yorkshire Day and as we move into August, there are some important dates and changes to report.
From Sunday 3 August, we will be moving to one service each Sunday, starting at 3 p.m. Please don’t turn up at 10.30 a.m. or 6 p.m. anymore, as no one will be there! This change of time accommodates all who have attended services and we hope that it will be an encouragement also for new people to join us. We will still be celebrating God’s presence and work through worship, learning from His word (either through sermons or Bible studies), praying and having fellowship. Sunday School will still be available for children to grow in their understanding of God and faith through vidoes and activities and crafts. We’ll still have refreshments after the service. The only thing that’s changing is the time!
Please note that because of holidays there is no service on 10 August and we will not be at the building on 31 August as we are taking part in a joint churches’ celebration at Manvers Lake on that date. Join us outdoors with a picnic from 1 p.m .and enjoy worship, fun and games and public baptisms in the lake, including church member Philip being baptised there.
We’re also involved with 2 Churches Together events in August. Our Summer Fun picnics will be on Wednesday 6 August (12-2 p.m.) at Carrfield Park in Bolton upon Dearne and on Wednesday 20 August (12-2 p.m.) at Thurnscoe Plaza in Thurnscoe. Bring a picnic and join us for crafts and games/ sports with Dearne Family Hub and BPL. These events have been funded by Great Childhoods Ambition. Free drinks, fruit and ice-creams will be provided for children at the picnics. Bring a blanket, suntan cream and anything else you need to have a fab time together!
There is no Parent & Toddler group in August, but we’ll be at the building today cleaning toys if anyone wants to pop in to help or have a chat and a cuppa.
Our coffee morning is on Saturday 2 August between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. and ‘Mindful Moments’ is on Monday 18 August between 6 and 8 p.m. We’re also singing at Parkside on Tuesday 26 August at 2 p.m.
