It’s encouraging to know that there are many opportunities to pray together with other Christians. On Friday 19th May from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., there will be the opportunity and space to pray at Furlong Road Methodist Church (Bolton-on-Dearne). Come along whenever it’s convenient to reflect, meditate and pray.
The next ‘Churches Together’ prayer meeting will be on Tuesday 20th June (not May, as originally stated!) at 10.30 a.m. at GPCC. We hope to meet on a monthly basis, alternating between morning meetings and evening ones so that everyone has the opportunity to come along at some point to pray. Other ‘Churches Together’ meetings will be during the Pentecost weekend, with a ‘Pentecost Party’ at the Salvation Army on Saturday 3rd June at 4 p.m. and a special family service at GPCC on Sunday 4th June at 6 p.m.
There are a number of events to help our local community on this week. On Thursday 18th May from 10 a.m. until 12 noon, there will be a community clean-up on the railway embankment near Straight Lane and on Saturday 20th May, there will be a jumble sale at the Salvation Army from 9.30 a.m. until 12 noon to raise funds for the food bank. These are all practical ways of showing our commitment to the local community.
And speaking of cleaning… we will be having a cleaning and maintenance day at church on Saturday 10th June from 10 a.m. Come along to help with some cleaning, tidying and general maintenance jobs to keep the building spick and span!
We will also be having the church Annual General Meeting on Saturday 24th June at 6 p.m., so please book that date in your diaries and come along as we look back over the past year and look ahead to all God has for us.
