People tend to fall into one of two camps over Christmas: those who prefer not to think about it until Christmas Eve (mostly men, I find…) and those who spend the entire year planning for Christmas! I’m probably somewhere in the middle, but certainly have to think about Christmas earlier than many because of church commitments. It feels like a pastor’s life always seems to be spent three months ahead of the calendar…
Looking ahead to Christmas, then, we are pleased to be giving out Advent stars in early December and will also be involved with Dearne Churches Together’s Advent trail.
More of that nearer the time, but just to announce also that we are sponsoring 4FrontTheatre on the big screen in our area. Their Christmas show ‘The Satellite Before Christmas’ will be shown via a pre-recorded performance at Goldthorpe Pentecostal Community Church on Saturday 11th December with performances at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Bookings are now open for these shows, which are free at the point of entry. We are also sponsoring the show in local schools.
Our Carol service will be on Sunday 19th December at 6 p.m. and will feature the Nativity play ‘God Is With Us – Everywhere!’, performed by members of the church. If you want to be involved in this, please see Julie as soon as possible.
