The Women’s World Day of Prayer on Friday 2nd March will be held at Goldthorpe Pentecostal Community Church at 2 p.m. This service, written by Christian women from Suriname in South America, has the theme ‘All of God’s Creation Is Very Good!‘ and looks at the wonderful world God has created and our role as stewards of that creation. All are welcome (including men and children!) and refreshments will be served after the service.
On Friday 16th March, ‘Dearne Churches Together’ will be holding a Day of Prayer at Furlong Road Methodist Church, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Please feel free to drop in at any point during the day to pray and stop for as long or as short a time as you can manage. There will be prayer spaces and activities and the opportunity to take Communion. This is such a wonderful opportunity to take time out from our busy schedules in the Lent period to focus on God and to pray for our families, churches and communities.
On Friday 30th March, local churches will be taking part in the ‘Good Friday Church Crawl’ as we explore different Christian traditions for commemorating the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will start the event at Furlong Road Methodist Church in Bolton-on-Dearne at 10.30 a.m. and will walk between different churches, giving out daffodils and Easter eggs, along with Christian literature, as we walk. If you are not able to walk, please feel free to drive between venues. Please feel free to attend as you can; if you can’t make every church, come along to those you can!
