Church Organ

Major restoration work on the church organ is due to start in the first Quarter of 2014. The PCC extends a big thank you to everyone for their help in raising enough money to not only restore the church organ, but reconfigure and improve it as well! Thus laying the foundations for at least another 100 years of organ-based worship in Whiston.

Further updates to follow in due course.

Bible Study Groups

A new series of Bible Study Groups - reflecting upon the Lord's Prayer - begin on Monday 23rd September at 7.45pm.

These studies are open to everyone and, depending on the numbers interested, there will be two groups of up to eight people that will meet on alternate Monday evenings.

For further information, and to put your name down; please speak to Janet Vout. Places may fill up quickly so book soon to avoid disappointment.

Resources Centre

Did you know that the Sheffield Diocese has its own resources centre based within Church House in Rotherham Town Centre? Church members from any parish can borrow items for up to four weeks at a time and there are over 11,500 books, DVDs, periodicals, CDs, toys, puppets, learning materials; and so forth; to choose from. But don't take my word for it! Clicking here will take you to their webpage; where further details are to be found. It is free of charge and, as the author of this website can verify, the staff are very helpful; knowledgeable about their subject, and will even offer to make you a cup of tea upon your arrival!

So, there really is no excuse for not paying them a visit to broaden your theological knowledge, hunt down that ever-so-elusive reference, or just browse to see what you can find.
