General Notices and Church Family News 

This is a week filled with Birthdays. Congratulations, and every good Birthday wish from everyone here at Woodseats Methodist Church, go to Pam on Monday, John Glossop on Wednesday, and Marion on Friday.

February begins next Sunday, so the next edition of the Clarion will be due. If anyone has an item for inclusion, please let Michael or Glyn have it early this week.

Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, falls on Wednesday 18th February this year.

You will be pleased to learn that we raised £256 for Action for Children  over the Christmas period. Our thanks go to everyone who contributed so generously, and especially to the people who came to Lunt’s memorial carol service. 

It’s still possible to submit a prayer for the next Prayer Handbook.  Please ensure you email your prayer to prayerhandbook@methodistchurch.org.uk no later than Friday 23 January

A gentle reminder that if you stay for coffee after the service on a Sunday, please could you leave via the church door on Mitchell Road and not the brown door near the Large Hall. Although the church door may be locked, you can get out by pushing the crash bar and slamming the door behind you.

We are still accepting donations to the  Grace Food Bank - www.gracefoodbanksheffield.org.uk - via the ramp door on Mitchell Road on Wednesdays from 10.00 am – 11.30am.

Please continue to support this essential service If you are able to help, please let Pat or Tony know.

The Foodbank has requested that as well as the donation of toiletries, they are trying to collect more items that don't need cooking. So, gifts like tinned fruit, ham, corned beef, tuna etc. are especially welcome.
