Incredibly, we’re already in July of this year… I must be getting old, as time seems to go by so quickly these days!

Services tomorrow are at 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tomorrow’s family service is looking at the theme ‘Just What The Doctor Ordered’ and at the fact that Jesus is our Great Physician.

On Sunday 9th July, we will be at Cherry Tree Court in the morning, and on Wednesday 12th July at 1 p.m. we will be hosting a service of celebration for the life of Pat Collins. Please pray for all the arrangements for the funeral and for Pat’s family and friends as they attend. If you can help in any way with the service or with refreshments, please let us know.

On Friday 14th July from 5 p.m., we will be having a work day to clear the stage area as we are having flooring done under the stage in August. All helpers will be given supper as a thank you for their service! Come along any time from 5 p.m. to clear away rubbish and tidy up generally.

On Tuesday 18th July at 7.15 p.m. we will be hosting the next ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting. It’s so good to get together with other Christians and pray for our communities.

Please continue to pray for the Monday youth club and Friday Parent & Toddler group, meeting until 17th & 21st July respectively, then having a break for the summer holidays.

On Thursday 27th July there will be the first of the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival workshops, featuring a virtual reality film on the history of mining from 10 a.m. – 12 noon and a free aromatherapy session from 1-3 p.m., both events at Goldthorpe Library.

On Monday 31st July, Jeannette Ayton, a local children’s author, will be hosting a creative writing/ storytelling workshop at GPCC from 1-3 p.m. If you know any children aged 6-12 years who would be interested in attending this free workshop, please let Julie know.
