Looking after God's world

Tips for a greener Christmas!

As we get ready for the joy and fun of Christmas, let’s try to minimise waste, to help both the planet and our pockets - there are a few ideas on our Eco Church page

See our Eco Church page for more information

Food banks

Church members have always been very generous in their contributions to local foodbanks. You can bring gifts of food and toiletries whenever the church is open for services and other events.  To find out the latest needs and news see the Foodbank page

A church is not just for Christmas

We're expecting lots of you, especially small people, to come into St Mark's over the next few weeks to celebrate Christmas, singing carols and hearing the nativity story, but the church is for everyone, every day. Services are not just for believers, meetings are not just for members, Christenings, weddings and funerals are not just for those who attend church every Sunday. We're not scary and we have really nice tea and coffee. 

Men’s Breakfast

The next men's breakfast is on Saturday 7th December in the church hall, from 8.30 to 10.00. As before, as well as bacon butties, coffee and croissants etc, there will be plenty of chat and a short talk from someone's experience. All welcome, bring a friend. No charge. Contact stmarksgrenoside@gmail.com to book.

Diocesan Vision Prayer

Living God,

Jesus calls his followers to seek first your Kingdom.

Renew us as we make your love known;

Release us to share freely together in mission;

and Rejuvenate us to be fruitful in your service.

Give us courage, wisdom and compassion,

that strengthened with the grace of the Holy Spirit,

we may, as the Diocese of Sheffield,

both flourish and grow through Christ our Lord

Amen.

Donate

Although the life and ministry St Mark's is maintained mainly by volunteers there are a lot of running costs involved in serving the community in Grenoside. Services (including baptisms) are free and open to everyone. All our income comes from donations. If you would like to contribute to the church's work in this village and beyond please visit our Give a Little page.
