Phoenix Park was redeveloped when my son was just a child, and we have many fond memories of the initial work which turned the former slagheap into a beautiful parkland area, with artwork commemorating local history:

DSC_0436We were especially pleased to be able to give out about 120 goody bags containing leaflets about the meaning of Easter, leaflets advertising our Easter services and Easter eggs. We hope many people will be able to join us on Easter Saturday for our ‘March of Hope’ around Goldthorpe, when we’ll again be giving out goody bags and inviting people to church services. We’ll be leaving our church at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday 26th March, joining with other churches at Lockwood Road and 10:30 a.m. and returning for a light lunch at Market Street after the march. All welcome!
