To consider this an initial meeting has been arranged. It will take place on Wednesday 18th July at 7:30pm at Beacon Hurst off Tarvin Road in Frodsham. Anyone interested in participating in this initiative please join us. Your input will be most welcome. Should you wish any further information or directions to the meeting's location please speak to Marion Greer or e-mail enquiries@frodshammethodist.org. ![]() Susie Treeton is pictured third from right. What a happy afternoon we enjoyed! Residents of Chapel Fields Care Home for Older People, their family members, friends and staff joined together for a service of welcome to Susie Treeton and to mark her commissioning as M.H.A. Chaplain to Chapel Fields. The service was led by Rev’d. Pat Christopher and the Chaplaincy Adviser for the West of England gave a short address. I think we will all remember his visual aid – a very small salt spoon. The purpose of a spoon is to stir, so here we had a mini – stir (minister - oh dear!!) which is what Susie has been called to be. She is obviously very much at home at Chapel Fields and already known and loved by the residents. The service included prayers, familiar hymns and Bible readings reminding us that in serving others we are serving Christ. We ended on a rousing note singing the hymn ‘God is our strength and our refuge’ to the tune ‘The Dam Busters March’ after which we were all ready for a welcome cup of tea! As part of the commissioning we said together: Susie we welcome you! May the Lord make you a blessing amongst us and us a blessing to you, as we work together for Christ. I’m sure we can all say ‘Amen’ to that. Sylvia Langley Presbyters from the local Methodist Church circuit, of which Frodsham Methodist Church is part, have begun holding monthly services of Holy Communion in the Care Home.
