We'll keep a welcome in the hillsides……
We'll come when we get around to it…..
We'll come again, don't know where, don't know when…..
Sunday 14 March is another Welcome Sunday.
OK, so you haven't been to church for a month of Sundays, well more than that possibly! How do you get back in touch. You've maybe wondered about doing so but what with everything else never quite made it happen. How to begin? Well, we hope we are welcoming every week to anyone who comes through our doors, but from time to time we have services especially aimed at folk, maybe like you, who just need an extra special "hallo".
March 14th is such a Sunday. We're having coffee from 10am, before the service, which starts at the usual time of 10.30am. We also have the usual coffee and biscuits afterwards. The preacher is practicing hard and promises to do his best. No hour long sermons - we guarantee! There will be a real warmth and fellowship for anyone and everyone who pops in.
It still may be a bit hard? Why not telephone one of our stewards or Minister beforehand for a chat? We can arrange to meet you - outside if you wish, and introduce you gently as it were.
Now you may have noticed that 14 March is Mothering Sunday, that's the same as Mothers' Day! Our service will be geared up to this event with small posies of daffodils being handed out to all mothers, as we do every year.
It's never too late to return to Church. It will be a decision you won't regret. (What's more we promise not to make you turn out your pockets for the collection - unless you want to of course!) St. Paul's is YOUR local Methodist Church. Remember the old saying, "Use it or lose it".
Telephone numbers:
Minister, (Rev Paul Clapham): 01422-311591
Stewards: Molly Bake: 01422-356920, Angela Hellowell: 01422-839736, Michael Clipson: 01422-833548, Dawn Teague: 01422-357772, Paul Hinton: 01422-831431
Of course we at St. Paul's would prefer you to welcome you back to church with us. If however you feel more associated with any of the other Christian churches, we can still help. There are excellent relationships between all the churches in Sowerby Bridge and a call to our Minister, or a steward, will lead to you being contacted by the church of your choice, be it Roman Catholic, Church of England, Elim Pentecostal or any other mainstream church.
SO.......
