It has been a busy week at church at all the usual groups. Keep on praying for the Monday night youth club, which has seen over 40 children attend in recent weeks, and for the Parent & Toddler group on Friday mornings, where we have over 12 babies and toddlers and even more adults! Pray for the volunteers who help at these groups and for good conversations as we get alongside people of all ages.

This weekend, we have our usual Communion service tomorrow morning at 10.30 a.m. and a dedication service in the evening at 6 p.m., so please pray for both services. It’s especially poignant to do a dedication service so close after doing a funeral service for a 94 year old man, as it reminds us of the cycles of life. We are so grateful that God is present with us from conception to our final breath.

The WEA is running some taster sessions for different arts and crafts throughout March. If anyone is interested in creative writing, the next session is at the Snap Tin Cafe at the Factory (formerly the Dearne Enterprise Centre) on Barnburgh Lane from 10 a.m. until 12 noon on Thursday 23rd March. The session is free and open to all.

The men are meeting together for takeaway and DVD night on Saturday 25th March at 6 p.m. at church. Bring along a DVD of your choice and a vote will be taken as to which one will be chosen! The next men’s gathering will be a go-karting expedition, so please see Garry if you are interested in this.

Don’t forget as well the Watoto Children’s Choir concert, which is on Saturday 1st April at 6.30 p.m. at Grimethorpe Pentecostal Church:
