MD CHURCHES TOGETHER: The next Churches Together in Market Drayton meeting will be the AGM. This year it will take place at St Mary’s Church TONIGHT. The usual format is a service of unity at 6pm followed by short meeting

MEAL FOR ROMANIA: Come and enjoy a 3 course meal on Saturday 9th February at 6pm for the bargain price of £10pp to raise funds for Market Drayton Romania Link so that we can continue to help finance the food distribution from Golgota church in Petrosani. Please sign up on the list in the foyer by Wed 6th Feb and give monies to Jeannette or Derek Wanless so that we can cater efficiently.

COMMUNION STEWARDS: There will be a meeting for all those who are communion stewards on Tuesday 29th January at 7.30pm in the church lounge. Anyone who is interested in becoming a communion steward should speak to Ruth before the 29th January. The role involves preparing the elements for communion prior to the service and clearing up afterwards. You would only be on the rota once in 3 months.

FRESH START COURSE: There will be a new ‘Fresh Start’ course starting on 22nd January for people wanting to have release from any addictions. The course is affiliated to CAP (Christians against poverty) and will take place on Tuesdays, 5-6.30pm in the church lounge.

BUMPS TO BABES: Jane Hughes is starting a ‘Bumps to Babes’ group on Thursday afternoons 1-3pm commencing on Thursday 31st January. If anybody is interested in supporting in any way (prayer would be much appreciated, obviously) or if you know of anybody who would benefit from such a group, please contact Jane Thank you.

CHURCHES TOGETHER REP: Ivy Meredith has been one of our Churches Together Representatives for several years but now wishes to step down from this role. Is working alongside people from other churches and planning joint events something you feel called to do? There are only 4 meetings a year!! Please prayerfully consider whether this is something you could do. If you have any questions please speak to Gail Ackerley. THE SOCIAL HOUR will next meet on Tuesday 15th January at

2.15pm in the church hall. Th speaker will be Rev Ruth Jeffries and as usual there will be refreshments served. All are very welcome.

THINKING ABOUT THE BIBLE: Those interested in Thinking about the Bible will meet at 2.15pm on Tuesday 22nd January in the Church lounge. We will be thinking about the 1998 Methodist report, “Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path”. Everyone is welcome

BUS MINISTRY: If you would like to hear about the update on the Blue Bus Ministry that was shared at the Prayer Service on 6th Jan, then you can listen to it on the MDMC Website. Please continue to pray about the bus ministry.

AFTER MORNING SERVICES: Please be mindful of those wishing to pray or have quiet in the church following morning services. It would be great if everyone could vacate the main church area straight after the service and go through to the hall for coffee and chat, to allow a quiet area in response to worship. Also, could parents please be reminded to encourage your children to do the same. Many thanks. The Church Stewards.
