MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIPS WORKSHOP: SATURDAY 18 JANUARY 2020, 2.00-4.00pm "Our Methodist Conference in July this year approved a document on marriage & relationships, "God in love unites us", for circulation to and discussion by all Methodist churches throughout the UK. The document proposes landmark changes to our inherited traditional views on marriage & relationships, including the broadening of our understanding of marriage to include same-sex marriages, as well as recognising cohabitation as an additional relationship category which may carry God's blessing. Our Leadership Team is planning this workshop to provide the opportunity for our members and worshippers to become more familiar with the detail and implications of these significant changes, as well as to express any related concerns. More information will follow. However, please note that the recent WInter edition of our Vine magazine carried a two-page "centre-spread" summary on this matter- it is very helpful reading. Alternatively, the entire document, "God in love unites us", can be sourced on the Methodist Church in Britain website.
Please feel free to approach Gary or one of our Leadership Team with any queries or concerns in this regard." Messy Church Rise & Shine - From 26th January 2020 we are starting a brand-new service on the last Sunday of each month at 9am. The service will be held in the church hall and will include activities, crafts and stories around a set theme. The morning will also include tea and toast! I am looking for volunteers to help with this new venture. If you would be willing to prepare an activity one month or come along and make refreshments, then please let me know. Please pray for this as we try to find new ways of engaging with young children and their families. For more information please contact me. Sarah Jessop MESSY CHURCH The next Messy Church will be on Monday 17th February - the theme will be based on 1 Corinthians 12 (One body with many parts) I have booked a planning meeting to prepare for this Messy Church on Tuesday 21st January at 11am in the lounge. Messy Church is a fantastic outreach opportunity and a great time of worship and celebration for all who are there. If you are able to volunteer to help with crafts or activities (either beforehand or on the day), then please let me know. It would also be lovely to have more members of the congregation come along to Messy Church to talk to and be alongside those attending. If you have never been to Messy Church before then please speak to me for more information. Many thanks, Sarah Jessop (droitwichcfw@btinternet.com) |
