There’s a lot happening in November, so here is the latest news bulletin!
Sunday 13th November
Don’t forget both meetings will be at Market Street this Sunday (at 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and the CLC bookstall will be available after both meetings. This is an opportunity to buy Christmas cards and presents (books, calendars, fridge magnets, CDs, DVDs etc.), support our local Christian bookshop and earn 10% commission for the church all at the same time! Please remember to bring any unwanted commentaries or books which would help Bible college students to donate to CLC.
Thursday 17th November
The community choir practice will be at 6.45 p.m. at our church, followed by the Bible study at 7.30 p.m. We will be looking at the start of 1 Corinthians 16 in the Bible study.
Friday 18th November
Furlong Road Methodist Church is holding a day of prayer on Friday (from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.) Pop in for a time of quiet meditation, prayer, fellowship and a cuppa!
Hope House Church is hosting its ‘arts festival’ on 18th & 19th November, so if you’re in Barnsley, do pop in to have a look at this creative arts festival. The church is on Wellington Street, opposite Morrison’s supermarket.
Saturday 19th November
As well as the arts festival in Barnsley, there is the ‘Winter Wonderland’ in Thurnscoe flower park from 12-6 p.m. This is an opportunity to go ice-skating, visit Santa’s Grotto and buy Christmas food, including chutneys, piccalilli, apple sauce and tomato & basil soup from Turner New Leaf!
Sunday 20th November
The morning meeting will be at Cherry Tree Court at 10.30 a.m., with the evening service at 6 p.m.
Wednesday 23rd November
Come along to help prepare the goody bags for the Christmas Market if you can – we’ll be stuffing bags from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. This is an opportunity for local community groups to advertise, as we will be including leaflets about what’s on in the area (including our carol service on 18th December). Also in the bag will be Christian comics and leaflets about Christmas, sweets and glow sticks. Please pray for the Christmas Market on 9th December.
Sunday 27th November
Fredrick and Reeba will be here for both meetings (10.30 a.m. & 6 p.m.), so come along to find out more about their work in India and about the missions’ trip next Easter. We are having a buffet meal after the evening meeting (onion bhajis and samosas welcome!), so this is a great opportunity to meet Fredrick and Reeba and find out more about how to support their vital work in Bangalore.
