As usual, this year seems to be hurtling along at an almost dizzying speed! We are already past the half-way mark in February. Below are details of some meetings coming up in March to note in diaries and on calendars. (By the way, have you claimed your free church calendar yet?)
- Friday 7th March at 6 p.m. (Furlong Road Methodist Church)
- Sunday 9th March at 10.30 a.m. (Cherry Tree Court, Highgate)
- Saturday 29th March at 6 p.m. (GPCC)
Further details of these meetings are given below:
- The Women’s World Day of Prayer will be at Furlong Road Methodist Church in Bolton-on-Dearne this year. The service has been written by Christian ladies from Egypt and has the title ‘Streams in the Desert’ (perhaps a little too apt for this country, given recent weather!) All are welcome (not just women!) and there will be refreshments served afterwards.
- The first service to be held at Cherry Tree Court care home will be on 9th March and on the 2nd Sunday morning of each month thereafter. Please note that there will be no service at our church on Market Street on that morning; all are welcome to join us at Cherry Tree Court. Some of our church members live there and we are keen to be able to serve them and our local community in this way, adding this service to our usual regular ones as a form of outreach. There is an excellent restaurant at Cherry Tree Court, so if you want to stay for refreshments after the short service and get to know residents better, please bring some money for this!
- The next ‘Churches Together’ meeting will be at our church this time, starting at 6 p.m. on 29th March. We had a great time in January at the Salvation Army Church and are looking to further deepen our relationships with other Christians from the local area. It will be a time of prayer, worship, fellowship and fun, with refreshments served after the meeting.
