FROM OUR MINISTER -The Rev Ernie Grimshaw
At the start of the new Methodist year, and having had pastoral charge for the last year, Nicky and I would like to thank you all for your help and support. I am really impressed by the dedication and hard work that the members of our congregation put into making the church a dynamic place of worship and fellowship and a community centre for our surrounding neighbourhood. I would particularly like to thank Doreen Iddon, Pam Christopher and Joan Farnworth. They have each stepped down from their duties after many years of service and hard work. We welcome Caroline and Katy to the team and also welcome Reverend Chris Humble as he takes up the Circuit Superintendent’s role. It is important that we look to the future and seek God’s guidance for the direction we should travel, not only in relation to bricks and mortar, but also in mission and outreach. To this end, the Leadership Team will be spending time in prayer and reflection together seeking God’s guidance. So Be Bold, Be Strong for the Lord our God is with us.
