The Salvation Army are celebrating their 150 years’ anniversary this year, remembering how William and Catherine Booth started the movement in the East End of London in 1865. Locally, Goldthorpe Salvation Army will be having a celebration day on Saturday 4th July from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at their building on Straight Lane. The newly decorated prayer room will be opened and there will be an opportunity to have food from their new cafe menu as well as a range of activities for families, so if you can drop in on that day, do call in and see what God is doing through the Salvation Army in Goldthorpe!
During the school holidays, we will be embarking on our usual time of building maintenance. We are looking to decorate the community room and need capable volunteers who are not afraid of heights to tackle this mammoth painting job! We will be trying to organise a variety of dates (daytime & evenings to suit) over the next few weeks, so if you can help at all, do join us for this. We are very privileged to have such a wonderful building on Market Street, but we do need to look after it well!
