OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

OCC Logo

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO PACKED SHOEBOXES, KNITTED, SUPPLIED GIFTS AND DONATIONS - TO SEND GOOD NEWS & GREAT JOY TO NEEDY CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD. ALSO A BIG THANK YOU GOES TO CRYSTAL PEAKS CHURCH, Robin Lane, Beighton - FOR ACTING AS OUR LOCAL DROP OFF CENTRE FOR SHOEBOXES.  

FOR DETAILS GO TO: https://ww.samaritans-purse.org.uk 

The first Shoeboxes from the UK went to Belarus - then to Moldova - currently they are making their way to children in need around the middle east - COVID has created various problems and delays but 'love-in-boxes' continues - please keep preparing for the next campaign when hopefully the pandemic will be much more under control.


                                              IMPORTANT NOTICE - REF COVID 19

AS FROM 5th JANUARY 2021 - FOLLOWING THE GOVERNMENT'S INTRODUCTION OF THE 3rd NATIONAL LOCKDOWN (REFLECTING THE RAPID SPREAD OF THE UK MUTATED COVID 19 VIRUS) - 

IN LINE WITH OUR BAPTIST UNION ADVICE - THE CHURCH WILL EFFECTIVELY BE CLOSED 

(EXCEPT FOR ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE, ETC) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. 

THIS MEANS WE WILL NOT BE HOLDING ANY WORSHIP SERVICES, EVENTS, ETC

However, we would hope to try to host funerals if permitted/possible.


We continue to pray that the COVID situation improves significantly - especially once the vaccination programme is well advanced - so maybe we can hope for things 

like a Spring Fayre and maybe 'in person' EASTER CELEBRATIONS at Church in 2021?!

May God's will be done for His Glory. AMEN.


(PREVIOUS 'COVID' UPDATES AS AT 26.11.2020/AND THEN ON 15.12.2020, etc)

 We have addressed the possibility of re-opening for COVID control style  services – taking account of:

the latest Government Rules (which as we know can change rapidly) - alongside the regularly updated Yorkshire Baptist Association/Baptist Union Guidance. 

To ensure public Health and Safety - particular emphasis has been given to conducting COVID 19 Risk Assessments - to enable actions to be identified (and now implemented) to permit shorter than normal services to take place (although only Funerals could take place during 2nd National Lockdown).

The control actions and restrictions during such services have been shared (particularly for feedback) with Church Members and regular Attendees (as far as practicable). Although we are still awaiting some feedback - we have enough for the Trustees to now arrange 'COVID Controlled style' short worship services - when Government restrictions permit. 

 Information will be issued as appropriate (a worship service did take place on 20.12.2020) 

Funeral services will continue as needed (if possible). 

During the 2nd 'Lockdown' we were so glad to be in a position to respond to a request from Pastor Dave Goddard to host a funeral for his friend. Dave led that service held on 
30th November and gave us this very positive feedback:

A BIG thank you to TREETON BAPTIST CHURCH...the Funeral of Stuart Smith went lovely...again thanks to everyone that helped clean and prepare the Church...you all did amazing.  

People also commented how clean the Church was...and that all Government procedures due to Covid were in place and followed.

Treeton Baptist Church was mentioned and thanked at the Graveside by the family...a few people also said they would attend a service there when things are back on.

During the remainder of 2020 and into the early part of 2021

- apart from 'Maintenance', minimal Admin duties & possibly Trustees Meetings - 

sorry to say that there will be 

NO EVENTS / ACTIVITIES 

taking place within the church buildings or grounds

i.e. No weekly Library Coffee Morning; Thursday Exercise Group; 

Sugar Craft Group; No monthly Lunch Club, Ladies nights etc; &

All 2020 annual ‘social’ events had already been CANCELLED

(e.g. Bonfire Party; Autumn/Christmas Fayre; 

and the Salvation Army & Christingle Events). 


EARLIER COVID 19 INFORMATION (UPDATE AS AT SEPTEMBER 2020)

We can confirm that presently (as stated back in March 2020 see below) - the church is CLOSED to the public.

This means no church services are taking place at Treeton Baptist Church (unfortunately - currently that includes Weddings and Funerals)
                                                                                         PRIOR TO THIS:  

As from now (21st March 2020) - all Treeton Baptist Church services and smaller gatherings - including all the EVENTS (as previously advertised below) - have now been cancelled until further notice. Effectively the Church is closed until further notice.

(This follows Government advice that emphasised that we should avoid social interaction and gatherings - subsequently clarified in Parliament that this included religious gatherings such as church services.  Smaller family-sized gatherings were also included in the advice. In the light of the Government advice - our Yorkshire Baptist Association have concluded that churches should not gather for worship on Sundays, nor in smaller group meetings. As you will all now realise - these are measures to protect those who are vulnerable and to care responsibly for those within our congregation and in the wider community.) However, Maintenance & Administration aspects continue where possible.

ON-LINE SERVICES VIA YOUTUBE:

In the meantime we have introduced VIDEOS (SEE BELOW) of services - from a sister 'Baptist based' church in Portugal) - actively supported/sometimes attended by 2 members of our church family. 

The earlier videos can be found on the Sermon Audio and Video tab - but since most people tend to come to the 'Events and UPDATES' page first - all those from 14 06 2020 onwards can be found below:

So - enjoy the worship - watch & listen to God's word from Joy Borgan.

(Joy is the Minister at the International Christian Fellowship - Portimao). 

Joy has sent these YouTube links to be used on this website - and she is happy for them to be shared as you think appropriate. 

N.B. You can also take part in communion once a month too.

Then so many shoeboxes were filled on the day - such that 183 shoeboxes were delivered to the OCC Warehouse at Chesterfield via Treeton Baptist Church!

 Thanks to everyone who took part during the year - and on the day!

In total Samaritan's Purse International plan to send 11 million gift filled shoeboxes to needy children around the world this year.


PREVIOUS EVENTS ETC:

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY:

It was moving to see so many people at the Baptist Chapel, including youngsters, attending the Remembrance Service which was led sensitively by 'stand-in' Gordon Hawley (we pray Maureen will soon feel better) - with the 'Message' given by Carole Robinson of St Helen's on the subject of 'Love'. 

In the crisp sunshine, Chris Nuttall led the time at the War Memorial - where the Two Minute Silence was observed at 11am after the bugle sounded 'The Last Post'. The Silence was then broken by the playing of 'Reveille'. Once wreathes and other tributes were laid, people returned to the warmth of the chapel to conclude the service with prayer, poem and song. The final song was the fittingly The Dambusters Hymn (God is our strength & refuge). People then reminisced over refreshments in the Community Library which is housed in the church. 

The collection raised over £200 for the work of The Royal British Legion. May the Lord bless their work - and the givers.

COMMUNITY BONFIRE PARTY:

After two very wet days of preparation who would have thought that the Bonfire would light so well at 6.30pm precisely on the 5th November. This was a real tribute to Colin (our master Bonfire Builder - who was also assisted by Brian, Gordon and particularly Mark Hawley this year. Many thanks to them - and to Ian for helping to prepare the grounds before hand. 

The Firework Ignition team did a fantastic job once again creating a spectacular display much to the appreciation of the audience (872 head count by the way!) - so WELL DONE to Colin, and Gordon, Karl and Robert, Matthew and Mark!

MANY many thanks go to all the wonderful ladies for feeding such an incredible number of people! Thanks to so many others who helped - including the Event Stewards and First Aiders.

Thanks to all those who came to support us (including the donations!) and the lovely feedback that encourages us to keep on organising the various events throughout the year!

Special thanks to our various sponsors including: Treeton Parish Council, The Leadership Fund, JTF, Morrisons and UK Fixings.

PREVIOUS MAJOR EVENT:

Community Garden Party was held in the grounds at Treeton Baptist Church on 

Saturday 13th July

The rain held off and a great time was had by all - both young and old – with an obvious community spirit abounding. It was lovely to see so many children enjoying themselves – playing at football and other games (thanks to Simon) – many sporting lovely painted faces (thanks to Rosie).  There was food from hot dogs to cakes (thanks to the kitchen ladies) and array of different stalls (thanks to all stall holders) – including bric-a-brac, numerous crafts, tombola, pull-a string, and an extensive raffle - with 20 winners – all accounted for too! 

A big thank you goes to all the following who supported the event with donations of Raffle Prizes etc: Morrisons and JTF of Catcliffe; the Swallownest Co-op; Guilthwaite Nurseries of Whiston; all these Treeton establisments: Foers, Xzibit Hair & Beauty Salon, Just Fayes, Miners Welfare, Cricket Club, Glenwood Kitchens, The Post Office, Nichols Shop, Rome Pizza, Treeton Community Centre and various Treeton Baptist Church members. 

Many thanks go to everyone for coming along and those stalwarts who help prepare the grounds and clear up afterwards.
