Northwich Church - activities

"..but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 40: 31

Open Circuit

Open Circuit, a get together for people from all the churches in the Circuit, takes place each Wednesday. Coffee and tea are served from 10.30 am and an informal time of devotion is held at 11.15 am.

On the first Wednesday of the month, Communion is celebrated and a frugal Christian Aid Lunch follows. There is also a Traidcraft stall on this day.

The Big Lunch

The Eden Project's street party 19 July 2009. Ours had to be held indoors because of rain, but it didn't dampen any spirits.

Prayer Breakfast

A Prayer Breakfast is held on the first Saturday of the month at 9 am. People remembered on our ‘Prayer Tree’ are also prayed for at this meeting. We are always happy to add names to the Prayer Tree on request. E-mail or phone the Church. Finally of course everyone present tucks in to a welcome breakfast.

Singing

Sadly, the Church no longer boasts its own choir, but there are two choirs which practise in the church, making use of the excellent baby grand piano. So if singing is your thing, they are always glad to welcome new recruits.
Contact a choir

Of course, Methodism having been born in song, extra voices are always welcome in the hymn singing at our services - where we are accompanied by the organ. There are also various Circuit occasions throughout the year when temporary choirs are formed.

Born to Worship, the Circuit worship group did a Sunday service for us. Their mix of traditional and modern music, readings and drama were much appreciated by the congregation.

As a church we are eager to encourage you to use whatever talents and skills you bring with you. Though no one is pressured to do things they do not feel led to do.
