Don’t forget that this Wednesday (20th September) is the ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting at the Salvation Army at 10.30 a.m. It has been very encouraging to pray with other Christians over the past few months and we believe that God hears and answers prayer, and that as we share our heart’s desires, He speaks to us and moves us into new areas of intercession and service. Please spread the word and come along if you can! Other ‘Churches Together’ prayer meetings will be on Tuesday 17th November (7.15 p.m. at GPCC) and Wednesday 15th November (10.30 a.m. at Houghton Road Centre in Thurnscoe).
On Saturday 30th September we will be having our Macmillan Coffee morning from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. If you can bring any home baking to this event, that would be much appreciated. Another fundraising coffee morning (for Barnsley Hospice) will be on Saturday 28th October at the same time.
In November, we will be taking part in two community events: the Winter Wonderland at Thurnscoe Flower Park on Saturday 18th November from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. and the Goldthorpe Christmas Market on Friday 24th November from 4-8 p.m. At both events, we will be giving out goody bags containing sweets, leaflets, flyers about Christmas services and other small toys. If you can help with preparing these goody bags, come along to the Salvation Army on Wednesday 11th October at 10.30 a.m. All proceeds from the craft stalls and refreshments served at GPCC will go to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
