The Crafer Family


The church family of St Mary's and St George's would like to extend their congratulations and best wishes to the Crafer family on the birth of their son Rowan - we ask for your continued prayers for Rowan and the entire family .

Break In at St Mary's

Many of you will know that in the early hours of the 16th May, there was an attempted break in at St Mary's.  We are pleased to report that the attempt was foiled when the burglar alarm alerted the Police - nothing was taken and the "would be burglers" never gained access to the Church although they did a great deal of damage to the vestry door.  We suspect that our Rector was non too pleased to be taken to the Church in a Police car at 4.10 in the morning!!  (and there is no truth in the rumour that he was arrested!!)

The Sunday morning service had to be held in the Community Hall as we couldn't get into church as the door was jammed.  We also had some visitors from Australia (who were only here for a week) but who never managed to see inside our church building!

Flagpole - St Mary's

I suspect that the William (Ward) and Martin (Crafer) will never ever be asked to raise the flag again as St Mary's (to celebrate St George's Day) as ever since the flag has been stuck at the top of the flagpole - mind you I suppose we could always say that we were showing our support for the England football team.

Crosstalk


Crosstalk, our Parish Magazine for June/July is now available.  It costs just 30p per edition or £1.80 for the whole year (What a bargin!!)

Any other contributions for the August/September edition should be given to Anne Eastwood as soon as possible please..

Monthly & Weekly Parish Prayer

We meet together at 9.30 am on the first Saturday of each month in the hospitality area of St Mary's and every Thursday at 7.00 pm  in the Rectory.  We 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 every Thursday at the Rectory or on the 1st May in St Mary's.

Men's Group

The Mens Group meets monthly on a Thursday evening for friendship, fellowship and fun.  Interesded???  Then please contact Philip Shergold for further details on 01226 754862 or look at the notice boards at the back of both churches.

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. and
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.
