Running for Safe Families

Michael's 10K for Safe Families

As a church, we are partnering with Safe Families, a charity that works to offer support, hope and belonging to improve the lives of those in our communities. On 29th September Michael Savage will be running in the Sheffield 10K to raise money to support the work of Safe Families UK. We can all get involved in this and if you would like to support this fundraising effort there are two ways you can do this.  There is a form in church where you can add your name and give a cash donation. Or, donate through Michael's Just Giving Page which you can find here:

The next men's breakfast is on Saturday 5th October 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.

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.
