Worship Sunday 14th January 2018 at 10.30 am

This Sunday is our Covenant Service including Communion.

Worship led by Rev Alan Clark. Organist Mr Nigel Ogden.

The Covenant Service is a unique gift to Methodism from its founder, John Wesley: a moment for renewing our commitment to God’s hopes for us – affirming that we give our lives and choices to God – even as we celebrate all that God has done for us. The service is often held at the beginning of the calendar year or at the start of the Methodist ‘Church year’ (September).

ALL ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT THE DRIVE.

Christmas does not end at midnight on Christmas Day!

Christmas does not end at midnight on Christmas Day! The Christmas season runs from Christmas Eve all the way to Epiphany on 6 January and then the  season of Epiphany lasts until Candlemas on 2 February, when we celebrate the presentation of Christ at the temple.

Epiphany, the date in the Church’s calendar in which Christians remember the visit of the wise men from the East to present gifts to Jesus.
