Despite not having any midweek meetings in August, there is still a range of activities happening in the area.

On Tuesday 15, 22 and 29 August, ‘Churches Together’ will be hosting family fun days at Houghton Road Centre in Thurnscoe (where Thurnscoe Pentecostal Church meets) from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. There will be the opportunity to take part in craft activities and play crazy golf; refreshments will also be served.

Prior to the first meeting on 15 August, there will be a ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting at 9.30 a.m. Come along to pray and ask God’s blessing on our local communities.

Before then, there are craft sessions at Cherry Tree Court on Monday 7th August and at the Salvation Army on Wednesday 16th August (10 a.m. – 12 noon) as part of the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival build-up. Roxana Whiteman is leading these workshops which show how creativity can be good for our emotional wellbeing! Free entry and suitable for all ages. These workshops (which include one for children between 10 and 18 years of age on performing arts at the Dearne Playhouse on Thursday 24th August from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) lead up to the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival at the Dearne Playhouse on 1 & 2 September:

Many thanks to everyone for your continued generosity in supporting Bedline in Haiti and now Amshika in India. Last month we collected over £74 to support these two needy children.
