Bread Church

Baking bread, exploring faith and building community together.

Starts Sunday 2nd June, 10am.

Meeting in the Carecent room at Central Methodist Church

This is a place where all are welcome.

A gathering place where we bake bread together, eat together and have the opportunity to explore the Christian faith together.

A safe space where there is freedom to ask questions and freedom to say nothing. Simply come as you are, join us at the table, bake and then eat bread together.

“Come to God’s house,
you who have much faith
and you who would like to have more;

and you who have not been here for a long time;
you who have tried to follow Jesus
and you who have failed. Come.
It is Christ who invites us to meet him here.”

Organ Vespers 25th November 2018

Organ Vespers

Sunday 25th November 6.30pm

The organ case

Drawing on a similar service in the German Lutheran tradition we offer a new approach which focuses on organ music appropriate to a time in the church year or special theme.
There are also some appropriate readings and the opportunity to join singing one or two hymns from the Methodist tradition.

On this occasion we mark the church anniversary, “Stir up Sunday”, the festival of Christ the King and look forward to the start of Advent.

All are welcome.
