Whilst the holiday season is upon some of us, there are still things happening in Goldthorpe in July! Apart from the usual meetings at church, there are special meetings at other local churches coming up. On Saturday 4th July between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Salvation Army will be hosting a special celebration to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Salvation Army. There will be activities for all the family and a chance to see the newly decorated prayer room as well as the opportunity to find out more about how the local corps is helping the poor and needy in our locality.

Please note that next Sunday morning (5th July), there will be no meeting at Market Street, but we will be joining with the Methodist Church at Furlong Road in Bolton-on-Dearne at 10.30 a.m. The evening meeting at 6 p.m. will be at Market Street as usual.

On Friday 10th July between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., Furlong Road Methodist Church in Bolton-on-Dearne will be hosting ‘Prayer Spaces’, an opportunity to spend some time in quiet prayer, reflecting on God’s goodness and praying for His kingdom to come in the Dearne Valley and beyond. You can spend as long as you want there, so even if you only have a short time to spare, it is good to be able to join with other Christians in prayer.

As the school holidays start, we hope to start decorating the community room and other areas, so if you have a day to spare from 20th July onwards, let us know and we can join together on this practical and necessary job!
