This Saturday (28th February) we have the church’s Information & Envisioning Evening at 6 p.m. in the community room. This is an opportunity to look back on all God has been doing over the past year (with the opportunity to find out more about the different ministries of the church) and also to look ahead to some of the ways we feel God is leading us on in the future. Do come along if you are able and are interested in the work of God in our area and want to know how we can continue to be with God in the community, allowing Him to shine through us and use us to spread the knowledge of God’s glory to all around us. Paul reminded the Corinthians ‘For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.’ (2 Cor 4:6)
If you can help with home baking for this, please do bring along a cake or buns as we’ll enjoy time together discussing ideas and vision for the future and such things usually go down better with a drink and something to eat! The meeting probably won’t be suitable for very young children, but please do try and attend if at all possible.
The family service is this Sunday (1st March) and we will be looking at ‘Lessons in Obedience’ in a quacking way… The family service starts at 6 p.m.
Friday 6th March sees the Women’s World Day of Prayer meeting at St Peter’s church in Barnburgh, starting at 6 p.m. The service has been written by Christian ladies from the Bahamas, so we are all encouraged to wear bright colours at this meeting (a contrast to the winter drabness and a reminder that spring is on its way!) There will be a collection of tinned food for the Goldthorpe Salvation Army at this meeting, so if you are able to attend, please do bring along some tinned food if possible. Let us know if you need transport to this event.
In March, we are also hosting a Christian bookstall again, so if you would like to buy any Easter cards or books or CDs, there will be a selection from the CLC bookshop in Sheffield available to buy on Sunday 8th March. This is a great opportunity to buy high-quality Christian literature and gifts, so don’t forget to bring your money on that day if you want to buy!
Easter is coming soon in the first weekend in April, so watch this space for further details about Easter services and activities to help us focus on the great work of salvation accomplished by Jesus through His death and resurrection.
