PRAYER ACTIVITIES
• Prayer is at the centre of our activities in Wigginton Parish with Prayer Ministry offered after the 10.30 am service on the last Sunday of the month at St.Leonard’s Church and after the 9.00 am service on the 1st Sunday of the month at Spital Chapel.
• A Prayer Board is situated in the Lady Chapel of St.Leonard’s for prayer requests.
• Monthly one hour Guided meditations are held at Spital Chapel from 11 am to 12.00 noon on the last Thursday of each month. Everyone welcome.
• Post a Prayer — Prayer Box available in the churchyard of St.Leonard’s.
OVER 60s CLUB
• The Over 60s Club was the brainchild of Bob Jones who thought that the older generation deserved a club of some kind. It proved popular from the start and there are now over 70 members.
• At each meeting our Chairman gives notices of forthcoming events, days out and our organised holidays. Members are always asked for any ideas or suggestions of places to visit.
• We start each meeting with a prayer of thanks for the fellowship, friendship and caring that is so much part of the Over 60s club.
• We book a speaker for each of our meetings and presentations are always interesting.
• We choose a charity to support each year and fund raise throughout the year, usually garnering between £500 and £1000.
• A newsletter, containing reminders of events, birthday greetings etc is compiled and printed each month and given to every member as they arrive.
• We always have a welcome cup of tea and a biscuit when the speaker is finished and we have a tea rota where members volunteer to take turns.
• We keep a register each month as members arrive, taking one pound from everyone, part of which goes towards the charity and £20 to one lucky winner every month.
