Notices

There has been some concern about excessive noise in the Church just before services begin, and it has been decided to reintroduce a quiet period (about 4 minutes), during which appropriate music would be played, so that the congregation can prepare for worship. 

John Finnegan’s funeral service will be held at Woodseats on Monday 10th March at 1.00 pm, followed by internment at Abbey Lane Cemetery at 2.00 pm. The service will be led by Deacon Annabel Terry

Lily Pickles' funeral will be on Friday 14th March - 10.30 am at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium followed by a service in church at 11.30 am. The family have asked that those attending wear light or bright clothing at Lily's request.

Christine Gagan  is now living at Broomcroft House Care Home, 414 Ecclesall Road South (just left from the junction with Abbey Lane). Please continue to pray for her as she settles into new surroundings.

Two Birthdays to celebrate this week. First, Daniel Hickson on the 5th: Happy Birthday; wishing you lots of cake and other goodies. Then Pat Roebuck on the 6th: Congratulations and Birthday Good Wishes, from all your friends at Woodseats Methodist Church.

March is Women’s History Month

A big thank you to Stephen Crabtree  for facilitating the new Church notice board in the Upper Hall (please take a look) to engage with the groups who use the hall. This will be updated regularly, and if you have any ideas then please let Stephen know

It is possible to print single copies of The Clarion, in black and white, directly from the copier. If you would like a printed copy, please ask Michael. 

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.

A reminder that the Prayer Meeting meets at 9.30 am on a Sunday   morning, however if you can't get to church for that time, the group meet until approximately 10 am and you are warmly invited to join them at any time during the half hour.

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.
