Yesterday, leaders from some of the local churches met together to prepare for the Christmas Market on Friday and to collect booklets which will be distributed to all primary school children.
Please pray for the ministers as they take these Christmas booklets (provided by the charity Lifewords) into local primary schools (Gooseacre and the Hill schools in Thurnscoe, Highgate Primary School, Goldthorpe Primary School, Sacred Heart School in Goldthorpe, Barnburgh Primary School and Lacewood in Bolton–on-Dearne) and for all who will receive the ‘Hope for Life’ bags at the Christmas Market (which will contain details of local church services over Christmas, booklets about Christmas and sweets). Pray that many people will come to the Christmas Market on Friday (between 4-8 p.m.) and will enjoy taking part in craft activities and buying different decorations and that we will be able to help the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal through everything we do that day. Don’t forget also to pray for the ‘Churches Together’ carol service which will be outdoors in the church car park at 6 p.m. Prayer is the foundation for all we do and we long for God to draw many people to Himself at this Christmas period and into the New Year.
