Wymeswold

We seek to fulfil our calling by:

• uniting in praise, helping all to offer their worship to God.
• joining together in fellowship and encouraging all to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
• encouraging the use and development of the gifts of the whole people of God.
• seeking to care for the needs of one another and developing links with, and service to the local community.
• building strong links with the Anglican community in the village, through worship, fellowship, service and mission.
• supporting mission at the local level and throughout the world.
• supporting , praying for and engaging in the life of the Methodist Circuit, District and Connexion.

Our aims are:

• to continue our work with the Village Primary School, particularly Open the Book and the Experience Journeys.
• to help continue to support Warm Welcome, Open The Book, Coffee Morning, and Bible Fellowship Groups and encourage new members.
• to continue close relationships with St. Mary’s and wherever we can to unite in worship, service and mission.
• to make available the premises for community use.

Although we are small in number, this is a vibrant church with strong ecumenical links with St Mary’s Parish Church. Every month there are three joint services.  All major festivals are celebrated jointly and both buildings are used, enabling us to offer different facilities for different styles of worship or community venture, whilst offering the best experience for those attending. The worship space is flexible and the building has a 1^st floor which is set up to offer Godly Play, and is also suitable for small groups or meetings, with a fully fitted kitchen; access is via a stairlift.  Both spaces are available for hire by members of the local community. The village has a good community spirit, which the Methodist Church is keen to be involved in whenever possible.
