Journalism student Joe Allen made an excellent video about the event which you can see on his blog by clicking here.

The service was held at 7.30pm in Sheffield Cathedral on Monday 14th November and was the second of its type making it now an annual event which I hope we can continue.

The service was attended by some 150 plus people from across a wide range of sporting clubs, communities, related organisations, Christians from across the diocese, and a chaplain from Keighley Rugby League who wanted to view the service with a mind to replicating in his own area. We had official representations from Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Sheffield United Football Club, Sheffield Eagles Rugby Football League, Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey, Sheffield Sharks Basketball, Sheffield Football Club, Hallam Football Club, Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association. These representations included managers, club ambassadors, community workers and more. Football referee Howard Webb who officiated at the 2010 Football World Cup Final in South Africa, ex SWFC and England physio Alan Smith and ex Minister for Sport Richard Caborn also attended the service.

Community Development Manager at SUFC, Mark Todd, himself and ex professional footballer gave the Bible reading, Dan Walker host of BBC’s Football Focus gave a pre-recorded interview on sport in Sheffield, the 2012 Olympics and faith and sport, Yuri Matischen Director of Sheffield Sharks and Montgomery Leisure Services spoke about the heritage of sport in the city and its value to the economy of the region as well as the enjoyment so many people get from sport and Rev Matt Baker Co-ordinator of Pastoral Care for the Premier League and Football League gave the sermon. After the service there was the opportunity for people to visit the Marketplace where the following clubs/organisations had displays and staff: SWFC, SUFC, Hallam FC, SCORE, Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association, Sheffield University, NACRO, South Yorkshire Sport, Activity Sheffield, Wise Old Owls, Sheffield Eagles, and more.

The service was a genuine expression of celebration and thankfulness for sport, brought together sports clubs from across the city, gave an opportunity to see something of the wider community work the sports clubs of the city do and helped people in sport in the city to network. It also offered encouragement to Christians to see the potential of sport as an area of service.

Native of Sheffield and Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder Right Revd. Tim Ellis Bishop of Grantham said a few words and gave a final blessing at the end of the service.

The Games are coming our way

“The Olympic Games are the greatest show on earth and offer churches all sorts of possibilities to our games as communities.” The Rt Reverend Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham

The 2012 Olympic Games are coming and they will produce moments in which the whole nation will share. This carnival of sport on our shores offers churches across the nation and our own Diocese the opportunity to engage with their local communities. To find out more keep reading.

The 2012 Games offer the churches of the Sheffield Diocese the opportunity to engage with their local communities with a view to relationship building, serving, and demonstrating the love of God through words and actions. Just think back to the prevailing national mood during Euro 96, and past Football World Cup Finals and Olympic & Paralympic Games not even on these shores. Many churches took the opportunity during these international sporting events to try and engage with the excitement and interest they generated. As host nation to the 2012 Games those opportunities can be multiplied just as the mood that sweeps the nation will be. It would be a shame for the churches of the Diocese of Sheffield to miss out on the opportunity coming our way.

More Than Gold www.morethangold.org.uk is one organisation working with Diocese across the country to help encourage churches to engage with their communities. Their website offers downloadable ideas and resources designed to help your church make the most of the 2012 Games.

For some the Games may act as a catalyst to helping your church think about engaging with the local community. For others Games focussed events can be incorporated into the on-going ministry of your church and play an important part in furthering your ministry to and within the local community.

It is over sixty years since we played host nation to the Olympic Games and it may well be another sixty before we host them again. Can I encourage you to think about just how your church might seize the opportunity we have in the coming months to be part of the celebration of sport that will sweep the nation during the 2012 Games.

Can I also invite you to come and share in a service at Sheffield Cathedral in celebration of sport on Monday 14th November 7.30pm. This service is open to all who wish to attend and any who wish to know more details can contact Peter on 07772926278 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I work with healthcare professionals and ministers of religion in GP Practices in Sheffield to provide  ‘whole person healthcare’ .

Prior to training as a Church Army Evangelist, I spent twenty years working as a registered nurse in the NHS. My desire is to share the Gospel with those who have little or no contact with church or Christians. In Sheffield, 99% of the population go to their GP seeking help with their physical, mental, spiritual and relationship problems compared to 6% who go to their local church.

My ministry has developed over the last three years and is now based in three GP practices. Patients come to see me with a range of issues such as, chronic health problems, depression, abuse, bereavement, miscarriage, paranormal activity, relationship problems and alcoholism, to name just a few.  I have taken funerals and memorial services for former patients or their families. I also work alongside local churches, linking patients into their bereavement groups, luncheon clubs, pastoral visits and Alpha groups etc.
