It was encouraging to be at the first ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting yesterday and to join with Christians from 4 local churches to pray for our churches, community and wider world. The next ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting will be on Tuesday 20th June at 10.30 a.m. at GPCC and thereafter, we hope to meet on a monthly basis, alternating between morning meetings and evening meetings to allow people who work during the day to attend also. It’s so vital to pray and as we pray together in unity, God hears and answers prayer!
Furlong Road Methodist Church is holding a day of prayer and fasting on Friday 19th May from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Pop in whenever it is convenient to pray there as well.
Helping the Vulnerable
There are opportunities to be involved in befriending people at the residential home Epworth House in Thurnscoe and taking part in a monthly service there. The first service will be led by Karen Beecham from Furlong Road Methodist Church and will be on Wednesday 14th June at 2 p.m. Contact us for more details.
Cycling Proficiency
If you’re interested in cycling, want to get fit but maybe need some repairs on your bike or some general advice on cycling, the Salvation Army will be hosting ‘Doctor Bikes’ once a month on Thursday afternoons. The first session is on Thursday 18th May from 12 noon until 4 p.m., so you can drop in and find out more!
Caring for Your Community
There will be a community clear-up along the railway embankment in Goldthorpe on Thursday 18th May from 10 a.m. until 12 noon, as part of a fantastic project to clean up this area. Come along to the Salvation Army in suitable clothing to help out with this if you want your community to look good!
There are so many ways to serve your local community and be involved in all that ‘Churches Together’ and other community groups are trying to do.
