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.

A prayer for those affected by Hurricane/Storm Melissa Loving God, We offer you our prayers for people of the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti and nearby islands. For those whose loved ones have been killed, we pray for comfort. For people who have been injured, we pray for those bringing medical aid to come quickly. For those anxious about the destruction around them or the coming wind and rain, we pray for your peace. For the public and emergency services, and those bringing aid, we pray for strength. We pray for our partner Churches in the Jamaica and Haiti districts of the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and Americas and in the Methodist Church in Cuba. Help them as they pray with and serve the community around them, may they know your presence at this time. Help us in Britain to be responsive in our prayer and solidarity with them as the news of the effects of this hurricane become clearer in the coming days. In the name of Christ we pray, Amen The President and Vice-President of Conference
