Christmas Day 2014

30/12/2014

 
For Christmas Day 2014, Rev'd. Denise Harding challenged  the congregation to come in their most Christmassy clothing. Here a few of the success stories!

Holiday Club and Christingle Service 2014

25/12/2014

 
Picture
Monday 22nd December was the first weekday of the school holidays - but not at Frodsham Methodist Church, where there was an afternoon holiday club! There was making and baking gingerbread men, stars and other strange shapes; playing Nativity bingo; enjoying the mild weather outdoors; making craft items such as a mobile hanging nativity scene; and preparing ornages for the Christingle service at 5.30pm. 


After a bring and share tea, around 40 people gathered together for the Christingle Service in the church, and a collection was taken for the work of The Childrens Society. 

Equinox Concert 2014

25/12/2014

 
Picture
Tuesday 23rd December saw a full church as 200 people enjoyed singing along with Equinox at their 10th Annual Concert. A wonderful evening was shared by all - and the Frodsham and Helsby Rotary Club made easy work of preparing the church and serving refreshments and welcoming people. Once more we are grateful to Equinox and the Rotary Club for their support of Frodsham Methodist Church. 

This year had a particular poignancy as it was the year in which Equinox lost pianist and Musical Director Dorothy Devlin to Motor Neurone disease in October. To mark this sad bereavement, and in thankfulness for Dorothy's life, Rev'd. Denise Harding presented the members of Equinox with a gift from Frodsham Methodist Church - a rose called Dorothy - which will be planted in the spring into the Church garden to continue to remember Dorothy.

Christmas Day Challenge

21/12/2014

 
Rev'd. Denise Harding is challenging all attendees of the Christmas Day service at 9.30am to come in festive attire - a Christmas hat, jumper, tie, scarf (or even a onesie if you are under 18 - definitely not if you are over 18!). Or perhaps you have a Christmas outfit you've worn at school maybe? Let's have fun together celebrating Christmas Day! 

Christmas Greetings

New OPAL (Older People Active Lives) Club

19/12/2014

 
A new OPAL (Older People Active Lives) Club is to be set up in Frodsham, hopefully from February 2015. It will be based in the Methodist Church every Tuesday, 10.15-3pm and will cater for 15 older people living in the community who are lonely and at risk of social isolation. OPAL will provide a fun day of activities and a home cooked dinner. Transport will be provided. The club will be run by volunteers supported by a paid member of staff and they are looking for volunteers to help with cooking, driving, leading sessions and sitting on our committee. Volunteers wouldn't be expected to work every week and all expenses will be paid. Some training is offered.  Are you interested in joining? For more information contact Zoe Blocksidge, OPAL Club Organiser on 07562 619 275 or email zoe.blocksidge@rcswc.org.uk

Time to Remember Service

2/12/2014

 
Picture
Around 75 people gathered at 3pm on Saturday 29th November for our Annual Time to Remember Service - which was an opportunity to remember loved ones we have lost, and to take space and time before the Christmas festivities begin.

People placed gift tags on the Church Christmas Tree with the names of loved ones on them. They also took the opportunity to light candles and remember and reflect. 

The theme for the service was peace - and the Gospel reading was John 14:15-27. Rev'd. Denise reflected on the importance of finding both peace of mind and also peace from God to help us in our daily lives. A new Christian song from songwriter Paul Field was shared by video - entitled Small Town. He gave permission for this to be used in the service.
