Southlands News for 17th January 2021

Dear All

I hope you are all well. 

Sunday 17th January Service on zoom:

Meeting URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87030747784
Meeting ID: 870 3074 7784
Password: methodist

Our plan is to use this same link each week, for the coming weeks, unless we need to change things for security reasons.

On 17th Jan 10:30, Rev Louise Grosberg will return us to our journey with Paul in Acts, looking at Timothy & Paul in Philippi.

If you missed last weeks zoom service, Andy has recorded a video on his thoughts on the reading and that can be watched on YouTube HERE

Concern
The prayers sheet for this Wednesday's Concern session is attached HERE.

As usual, if you cannot join in our zoom services, there is a list on the circuit website with more "worship at home resources" found HERE.

Create Together on Zoom
As many of us are stuck at home again Donna Taylor is organising a weekly 'create together’ zoom session. 

The idea would just be to come together on zoom to simply create in company. You can sketch, paint, sew, craft, crochet, knit - or just chat if you prefer. Whatever floats your boat really. It will be very informal.
 
The time of these sessions will be Fridays 10am - 11.30ish. It started this week, with Naomi joining 6 of the Southlands artists. All are welcome to join in - please email Donna for the zoom link: donnamtaylor@ntlworld.com


We are recruiting!
The Circuit are recruiting for an Outreach Worker to work with Lidgett and Poppleton churches.  An advert is attached or download an application pack from https://www.yorkmethodist.org.uk/news/outreach-worker-vacancy.html   Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested.

Circuit Newsletter
If you have a story or item of news you would like to share for the next Circuit Newsletter, please send it to yorkcircuitoffice@gmail.com by 19th January.  We'd especially like to hear anything you would like to share about Lent.

Sleep out for homelessness
Various young people and members of the CYF team will be supporting Sleep out for homelessness on 23rd January.  Can you help or donate?  See www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sleepout-forhomelessness?utm_term=Kv6A4wyaK for more details and to give.

Safeguarding Foundation module
We have not been able to run safeguarding courses during most of 2020 and are aware that many people's training will now be out of date, and others have not had the opportunity to do the training at all. 
We are now able to run training sessions online, so if you are able to please do sign up for the course coming up on 9th February 2021 (course details attached).  This course is limited to 20 people so please contact Lois admin@yorkmethodist.org.uk with your name, church name and postal address so we can send materials to you.
(This course is for anyone who has never completed Foundation training, or who completed the Foundation or Refresher training more than 4 years ago.  Those whose role also requires them to complete the Advanced module will now only need to repeat the Advanced training, but will need to do the Foundation training as well when first taking up a role.)

Praying for our Circuit 
The church on the Circuit Prayer Rota for 17th January is Lidgett.  Let us thank God for the work of God in that place, and pray for the church as they consider how best to respond to God's call at this time.

If there is anything you would like included in these weekly emails, please send them to me by Friday evening.

Regards, Naomi
