May coffee morning

4/5/2022

 
Several familiar faces were missing today but those who came had a laugh and enjoyed the company. We collected £105 for our Methodist Church. This total was greatly helped by Sue, who brought her tomato plants for us to sell.
In June we shall be celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee on coffee morning day so be prepared to bring your crown and wave a flag!

Preparations for the external repaint started to appear today in the shape of the scaffolding needed to reach the eaves of the main church building. The whole external woodwork is going to be repainted. This area has not been properly done since the early nineteen nineties.

April coffee morning

7/4/2022

 
April coffee morning was quieter than some and we raised £86.50 for Street Child. Easter simnel cake and meringues with cream were served and Evelyn also made little baskets of mini eggs all of which contributed to our total. Thanks to Evelyn, Phil and Pauline our servers.

Mothering Sunday

27/3/2022

 
Pauline led our service for Mothering Sunday with help from reader including Lynda and Ruby. We had a history lesson of how Julia Ward Howe began the fight for Mothers Day taken through to its successful adoption by Anna Jarvis. Find out more here. We were reminded of mothers in history such as a WW2 Polish lady Irena Sendler, who helped over 2500 Jewish children to escape and of course the Virgin Mary. Thoughts for all Mothers, Grandmothers and those unable to have children were close in our minds. All Mums were then presented with a primula flower in a pot and we retired to a lovely cake and tea in the schoolroom.

A colourful evening sing-a-long

PictureNick sings a dream
A coach trip organised by Castle Bromwich to Coventry Methodist Central hall. A sing along Joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat had the added draw of our own minister Nick Jones starring as the pharoah. A lovely evening was had by all.

World Day of Prayer

3/3/2022

 
A well attended service with the service sheet prepared by the women of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. "I know the plans I have for you" was led by Fiona Bennet as the main speaker supported by a number of other women readers who lit seven candles during the service. The choir also led the singing with a lovely descant in the last hymn "The day thou gavest, Lord, has ended"  After the service tea and cake with sausage rolls and biscuits were enjoyed.

March coffee morning

3/3/2022

 
The coffee morning was a busy one with many people commenting that they had known someone affected with Pancreatic Cancer and so a magnificent £146 was raised for the charity. Thanks to Hazel and Elizabeth for hosting the event.

Looking to Lent

27/2/2022

 
Mike and Anne led our service today looking towards the start of Lent. All were given a little bag which will remind us of things we can do or give up over the period. A reminder of the Sun being in our lives giving us much to be thankful for. The bag we could put our money in for our Water Aid lent collection and if we are planning to give up chocolate then we only have a few days to devour the chocolate included. Remember we have our Wednesday evening Lent studies starting Ash Wednesday too.

Celebrating

20/2/2022

 
Todays service was led by Rev Nick Jones who was celebrating Holy Communion with us. Much talk of his recent promotion to being superintendent of Sutton Circuit was made as well as celebrating Carols birthday with cake afterwards.
