International AidYou may have been reflecting on both the short-term and the wider implications of our Government confirming their proposal to cut £4billion from the international aid budget for the immediate and foreseeable future.
Below is a link to a press release about this by the President of Conference in collaboration with the leaders of other denominations. This is not party politics. It is people's lives. Statement by the President of the Methodist Conference, the Rev. Sonia Hicks. Our doors are open!
We've re-opened for public worship...
...so come and join us as we celebrate this Sunday! Obviously, we're keeping an eye on the latest advice and guidance but we hope to resume our regular pattern of worship from now on: On the 1st Sunday of the month our service will be at 2:30 pm. (Sadly, the current restrictions don't allow us to offer tea afterwards - but we'll be putting the kettle on as soon as we can!) On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays worship will begin at 10:30 am. And where there's a 5th Sunday, we'll be joining with other congregations in the area as part of Upper Teesdale Churches Together. You'll be made very welcome any of our services - we'd love to see you again after all this time. On-line WorshipEven though we are now allowed to worship in our own premises again, our on-line services have proved so popular we've decided to keep them going.
This week's service is led by the Rev Graham Cutler who reflects on two of Jesus' miracles in: "It was just one of those incredible days!" Please join us as we explore the story of the feeding of the five thousand and Jesus calming his disciples' fears in the middle of the storm. 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 on Tuesday mornings we have our virtual coffee morning from 10:15 am to 11:00 am. Contact Mary Howard at <maryihoward@hotmail.com> 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.

When you can't get to a funeral... In these difficult times, the number allowed to attend funerals remains very limited. That means many family members will 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. |
