Hard though it is to believe, we’ve finally arrived at 2015! For many, today is the first day at work of the New Year when life slowly gets back to normal after the holiday festivities.
Our first family service of the year is on 4th January, looking at the theme of ‘Signposts and Directions.’ We are praying for God’s guidance throughout this month, particularly for:
- open ears and open hearts to hear God’s Spirit leading and guiding us in our everyday lives
- obedience to respond to everything God tells us to do
- God to speak into people’s lives and situations, bringing dreams to fulfilment and working all things together for good
- God’s help in listening to Him daily
- church leaders to be attentive to and responsive to God’s promptings and for all of us to work together in following God whole-heartedly
- unity and love to grow in our church and in all the other local churches
As usual, we will be holding a short service at Cherry Tree Court, Highgate on the 2nd Sunday morning of each month (starting at 10.30 a.m.) and so there is no service at Market Street on 11th January in the morning. Sunday evening services throughout January start at 6 p.m.
The first ‘Churches Together’ meeting of the year will be on Saturday 17th January at 7 p.m. at Furlong Road Methodist Church, Bolton-on-Dearne. Celebrating the week of Christian unity, this will be a great time of prayer, praise, fellowship and teaching, so do come along to that if you can.
