CHESTERFIELD SENIOR SCHOOLS ART EXHIBITION

MEN'S BREAKFAST WITH CHRISTIAN AID

Men's Breakfast at Central Methodist Church, Saltergate Saturday 15 October

Our speaker in October will be Paul Furbey, Regional Coordinator for Christian Aid in South Yorkshire, who will be updating us on Christian Aid's current work, including the Christmas appeal around the refugee crisis.

 Christian Aid's vision states "Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. Christian Aid has a vision - an end to poverty - and we believe that vision can become a reality." 

Arguably that vision is needed as much now as ever. We hope that as many men as possible will be able to come along on Saturday, 15th October at 8.30 am to find out more. 

Cooked breakfast is provided and we aim to finish by 10.00 am - if you hope to come, it would be helpful (but not necessary) for catering purposes to let Brian Offiler know (01246 234707 orbrian.offiler@btinternet.com).

NEW LIFE CHURCH BBQ

Thank you to everyone who supported and helped with the BBQ last Saturday and especially to everyone at the parish church for letting us invade their grounds. The decision to postpone for a week proved to be a wise one as rain made way for a lovely afternoon this week.

There was a great family atmosphere and the queue for the BBQ was pretty constant as over 750 free lunches were served. Parents and children alike tried out the circus skills and craft activities and hopefully enjoyed their afternoon in town.

TRADITIONAL DERBYSHIRE WELL DRESSING AT PARISH CHURCH

The well dressing at the crooked spire will be on display in all its glory in the church porch after the service of blessing 9.30am on Sept 10th for a week.  Pop any day in before 5pm (4pm Sunday) to admire the detailed work that goes into producing these wonderful pictures.

Any donations given will be used for the upkeep of the church building.

RELEASED TO BE: AN EVENING WITH JENNY PEGG

A Women's Ministry Event at St Thomas' Church

Wednesday 21st September 7.30pm

The ladies at St Thomas' are delighted to welcome Sheffield based singer/songwriter and worship leader Jenny Pegg to share her beautiful music and powerful testimony.  She is driven by a passion to see people inspired, encouraged and uplifted.

"Jen's music is uplifting and heartfelt.  It comes from a wealth of experience with God in her life and, despite physical health challenges, she keeps her eyes on Jesus and continues to praise him.  I play these songs at my place of work so that others can enjoy the music and, hopefully, be drawn to Jesus" Wendy H (60)
