Monthly Parish Prayer
We meet together on the first Saturday of each month to pray for the needs of the Parish of Wombwell. Everyone is welcome.
It is a very informal event and there is no pressure to pray out loud if you are not comfortable with that. Do come and join us in the meeting area in St Mary's at 9.30 for only 30 minutes and see what God can do in our lives.. Future meeting - 3rd April, 2010.
Parish Notice Sheets
From July, the weekly Parish Notice sheet (which is given out at all Church Services) will be produced monthly - the rationale for this is that it will save the environment (fewer sheets!!) and also will enable us to put events in our diaries earlier - it is hoped tha this will enable us to avoid clashed caused by short notification of events.
If youhave any details for the April Notice Sheet, please let Anne Forshaw have details - Please click on the link for the email address.
Notice Board
This is the area in which you will find all notices involving the Parish. It is also your own area for you to publish your own infomation about events and important "happenings" in your life. Please feel free to let us know what you want to be included.
