LENT COURSE 2013 ‘JESUS REDISCOVERED’ The Tuesday Derbyshire Lane Group will meet again on 26th Feb, and also on 5th, 12th & 26th March for this year’s Lent Course. (As 19th March is a PCC night, the 5th & last session of the Lent Course has been moved to 26th March.)

T.B.C. - JESUS REDISCOVERED ON WEDNESDAYS!  The Lent group being held in church in the Meeting Place will be using the Jesus Rediscovered material which Murray suggests groups use this year.  Dates are Wednesdays 27th February, 6th March (instead of 1st Wednesday Group), then 13th & 20th March.  Please see Jacqui for info.

HOME GROUP AT LIZ & MIKE’S The dates for the remaining Lent sessions at Liz & Mike’s are 27th February, then 6th, 13th & 20th March.  Please note: If you are unable to attend a session at one of the above groups, all groups are using the same material, so please feel free to “catch up” with another group.

SCOUT GROUP CENTENARY The 46th Sheffield St Paul’s Scout Group celebrates its centenary in 2014. Were you or one of your family or friends part of the group at any point? If so, Terry Biglands would love to hear from you in connection with the planned celebrations. You can contact Terry on 2551979. Events planned include an Open Weekend at the Scout Hall, Welby Place (probably mid-May 2014) and also a service with Bishop Peter.

FRIDAY YOGA  Regrettably, the new “Gentle Yoga & Relaxation” on Fridays has been cancelled.

MUSIC LISTENING GROUP are considering moving their meetings from the Old Vestry into the Meeting Place for ease of access. This will be on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings, so church members are requested to use another entrance please.

UPPER HALL Can groups doing craft activities in the Upper Hall please put paintings and craftwork in the store cupboard to dry out, or use a sheet of newspaper underneath if you use the window sills. During half term Ken has been busy painting the Upper Hall and cleaning inside all the radiator covers and we’d like to keep it looking good!



CLEANING CHURCH FOR SPRING Please be thinking about whether you can spare a Saturday morning on 23rd March at 10.00 am to come and help with washing out cupboards, general tidying etc. and let Ken know.

Prayer Focus:  We continue to pray for all who are ill and those who care for them.


FOOD BANK   Donations of packet food for Heeley Food Bank are warmly welcomed- there’s a box at the back of church for your gifts. Robert asks us to pray for the Food Bank volunteers to have the strength to listen without judgement, and to be supportive and demonstrate understanding. He asks us to pray that the volunteers will feel able to put the problems they hear about into God’s hands, and should not feel that they have to shoulder them alone. Pray also that the difficulties being experienced by the people using the Food Banks will soon be alleviated.
