A WARM WELCOME
to the families and friends of children who are being baptised at St Paul’s
today.
From Murray
We are beginning to
work through the questionnaires people filled in at Family Worship and I have
seen some very encouraging scores! It is
good to know that what we do at St Paul’s is appreciated. But we can always improve so it will be
interesting when Pam has collated the results to see the areas you think we
could work on. Strategy Group will do
some work on results before we report to the next PCC meeting.
DATES
FOR YOUR DIARY
Ash Wednesday 18th
February Holy Communion, 7.30 pm at
St Peter’s Greenhill, led by Harry Steel with Geoffrey & Murray and with
Duncan (curate at St Chad’s) preaching.
Faith to Share – St Paul’s Lent series 2015 will
begin on Wednesday 25th February, 7.30 pm in the Meeting Place. It will have a similar format to last year
and will run for the following four weeks. Please make a point of being there!
Questions! Questions! will begin on Wednesday 29th
April, 7.30 pm in the Meeting Place. If you have not yet done Questions!
Questions! why not come along this year!
Ascension
Day Thursday 14th May, 7.30 pm will be at St James’ Norton
and Murray is to preach. We will also be
able to admire the reordering of the rear of the church.
FURTHER REMINDER! -
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLOSE DOORS as you leave each room to ensure the heat
stays in the room for the group that follows you. In the aftermath of an
expensive repair bill for the boiler, it will also make our heating bills more
manageable. Ones to be aware of are the
doors between the Clergy Vestry and the Old Vestry, and from the Nave into the
OV corridor. Please pass on this message to members of groups that you are part
of. Thanks
KATH KENWORTHY There is message from Kath Kenworthy’s daughter
on the Meeting Place notice board. For a long time Len and Kath were members of
St. Paul’s.
WHAT IS
“VINE TIME”? Well, some of us wanted an
evening service and decided that once a month would fill the gap. It is an
unstructured time of worship with singing, sharing, praying & music, with
times of quiet in between. We meet at 6.00 pm for an hour in the Old Vestry, on
the 3rd Sunday in the month. Anyone who
feels that they need a quiet time with God is welcome to join us. Please see
Jacqui if you’d like to know more.
BRING ME SUNSHINE – a light hearted look at the ups and downs of family
life with Rob Parsons plus special guest John Archer. This hilarious evening of
comedy and inspiration will be held at The Double Tree by Hilton Hotel,
Chesterfield Road South on Tuesday 3rd March from
7.30
pm to 10.00 pm. Doors open at 6.45 pm. (For prices please see the flyers in
church) or phone 02920810800 or contact www.careforthefamily.org.uk/sunshine
This looks well
worth going to and it is unusual to have part of their national tour so close
to where we live. Murray
M.U. EVENT Please
note: There will be a meeting on the evening of 10th June from 7.00
to 9.00 pm which is open to everyone. Please save this date in your diaries –
it will be an interesting evening with a talk given by the Street Pastors.
There
will be no meeting that afternoon. Please see Jacqui if you’d like to
know more.
CHURCH ACTION ON
POVERTY
have designated 15th February this year as Poverty Sunday. In Sheffield we are
holding a service at Victoria Hall Methodist Church, Norfolk St, Sheffield 1.
The preacher will be the Reverend Dr Alan Billings. Fuller details are on the
website at www.church-poverty.org.uk/groups/sheffield-1/events/visions
“MY WORLD ROLLS ON” by Beryl Heathcote,
whom many of you will know. A second
collection of poems inspired by her family, friends and her experiences and including
a lot about Norton Lees and local events. If anyone would like one, (or a copy
of her first book,) they’re £5.00 each. Beryl will give £1.00 from each one we
sell to church funds. There are samples out in church if you’re interested. Further
copies are available from the office.
FOODBANK UPDATE
It
was a steady week processing 11 vouchers and 28kg of food (18kg from St
Paul’s). Over the last 6 months 10 tons
of food has come from Tesco with a further 3 tons which they have contributed
which has given Foodbank good reserves.
Another encouragement has been that CAB have said that they might be
able to have a presence on Fridays which would be a great help. Please pray as the leaders are thinking of opening
for a second day each week.
