Don’t forget we have events coming up this weekend which celebrate creativity!
On Friday 18th November from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Furlong Road Methodist Church will be open for prayer and meditation. Prayer is not often considered ‘creative’ as such, but as we deliberately slow down and wait on God, the awesome God of all creation speaks to us and communicates His heart. Take time out to pray tomorrow!
The Arts Festival at Hope House Church on Wellington Street (Barnsley) from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. also promises to be a time of great creativity. If you’re interested in painting, drawing, knitting, sewing, music, photography, writing or any other kind of creativity, go along and find out more! It is also open on Saturday 19th November from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Don’t forget the Winter Wonderland at Thurnscoe Memorial Park on Saturday 19th November from 12 noon till 6 p.m. This is an opportunity to do Christmas shopping and have fun at the same time – Santa’s Grotto will be there, along with an outdoor skating rink. Organised by Big Local Thurnscoe, it’s great to have such events to celebrate our community, and it’s always good to see people’s creative craft skills on display. Turner New Leaf, featuring homemade chutneys, piccalilli, apple sauce and tomato & basil soup, will be selling products at this event, so go along to support Stephen and Stacey’s business venture and enjoy some homemade food! (For those of you who like sweet stuff, the gift baskets contain homemade mince pies and chocolate chip cookies and there will be chocolate brownies to buy… some containing homegrown chillies, which bring back fond memories of Mummy, Daddy and Runty chilli stories…!)
Don’t forget that on Sunday 20th November, we are at Cherry Tree Court in the morning (10.30 a.m.) and Market Street in the evening (6 p.m.)
