On-line WorshipThe service this week is led by the Rev. Brian Hutton who asks: ‘What business are we in?’ In Luke 4: 13-21. Jesus shares His vibrant transforming call for His people and says ‘Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.' What does that mean and how does it affect us? Listen in to find out….
Although the Nativity and Christmas Party had to be called off because of Covid, village youngsters were still able to enjoy some festive fun.

Toy Service
Our Annual Toy Service took place a week later than planned - thanks to the power outage caused by Storm Arwen!
But in spite of the delay, there was still a wonderful selection of toys and around £200 in donations to go to our friends in the Salvation Army, in Stockton, for their magnificent work among needy families on Teeside. So a big 'thank you' to everyone who contributed in any way - and that includes you too, Judith Tarn! Find out about our Pumpkin Heroes! Just click here.
Join us for a cuppa...You'd be made very welcome at our weekly coffee morning every Friday from 10:15 am to 11:45. There's tea, coffee, biscuits - and sometimes cake! - and always lots of chat.
Monthly Tea Service
On the first Sunday of the month we swap our normal morning service for one starting at 2:30 pm - and we follow it with afternoon tea!
It's a great opportunity to meet up with old friends - or make new ones - over a warming cuppa and a tasty snack. What could be nicer? There's no charge (though donations are always welcome) and we're always happy to see new faces. Please join us if you can, you'll be very welcome. Zoom in...
...on alternate Sunday evenings, starting at 7 o'clock, we have an hour of fellowship when we can catch up with each others' news and share a brief time of prayer. Contact the Rev John Howard for the link. ...and to see some of the other ways we have been active in the community over these past months, just click here. Chat & PlayChat and Play is BACK - and it's weekly! Click here for more info.

When you can't get to a funeral... Although the number allowed to attend funerals is no longer limited, many family members will still have to mourn the loss of a loved one from their home. To help them do so in a thoughtful and meaningful way, the Methodist Church has prepared this short act of reflection. You can download a copy here. |
