There are a number of different meetings coming soon. On Friday 28th November at 6:30 p.m., the Salvation Army is hosting a ‘Pamper Evening’ for ladies, so if you would like to have a massage or some other beauty treatment, that’s the place to be!

The parish church is holding a Christmas Fair on Saturday 29th November from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Furlong Road Methodist Church are holding a Christmas Fair on Saturday 6th December from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. All are welcome to attend. Later that evening, at 6 p.m., we are holding the ‘Churches Together’ community carol service at the parish church in Goldthorpe (on Lockwood Road), with refreshments served after the service. Do come along to that if you are able!

Meetings in December will focus on the coming of the Lord at Christmas. Morning meetings start at 10.30 a.m., with a carol service at Cherry Tree Court being held on 14th December.

Evening meetings will start at 6 p.m.:

  • 7th December is the family service, looking at the theme ‘Whiter Than Snow.’ There will be a range of activities, quizzes and games for all to be involved with during that service.
  • 14th December is the carol service, featuring a ‘Christingle activity’ and the Sunday School choir!
  • 21st December is our Christmas drama called ‘Cosmic Christmas’
  • 28th December will look at ‘What’s next after Christmas?’, reminding us that Christ is for life, not just for Christmas!

The Parent & Toddler Christmas Party will be on Friday 12th December from 9.30 until 11.00 a.m. (this is the last meeting for that group until after Christmas) and the church will also hold its usual New Year’s Day party on 1st January 2015, starting at 4 p.m.

Midweek meetings will continue in December, on Thursdays at 7.30 p.m. However, on Christmas Day itself, we will be holding a short service in the morning (starting at 10.30 a.m. and guaranteed – as far as it depends on us! – to finish by 11.30 a.m. to allow you all to go on home for your Christmas lunch!)

There are invitations with all these details available at church, so please take one and pass some on to friends, family and neighbours if you can.
