We continue to support Ian and Sarah Hodgson with their work in Cambodia for Wycliffe Bible Translators. We have received a detailed newsletter with many wonderful examples of good progress. They have plans to return here for a break. Please pray for their continued success and care. 

 

Methodist Women in Britain held a Christmas fayre on 29th November. They raised over £400 which was given to various charities at their AGM in March. These were Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance, Little Princess Trust, Water Aid, Action for Children and Motor Neurone Disease.

​

Our Methodist Women (MWIB) also help support El Shaddai Street children rescue charity which is based in Goa. They recently donated £200 to this worthy cause.

​Please consider donating and hold them in your prayers.

​

A Singalong jointly hosted by MWIB and the Dukeries Singers in April was a stunning success. The church was packed, and everyone enjoyed the afternoon.

 

Methodist Women also donated £200 to  AllweCan, a Methodist charity supporting communities worldwide. They also gave £200 to the Little Princess Trust and to Methodist Homes.

​

Methodist Homes Sunday we also raised £105 for this charity - apparently the largest provider of such social care. No doubt with Christian dedication, volunteers and donations they do better than many in this sector.

 

Methodist Women in Britain (MWIB) - each Tuesday at 2.00pm. Great ambitions to do community outreach as part of our mission - watch this space.  The monthly knit and natter will be on the last Tuesday of the month when new people are especially encouraged to attend. 

​

Looking to the future we are seeking ways to share in Remembrance Sunday, making provision for those who through mobility and other issues struggle to do the open air service. For all people of course, not just our members.

​

We support the Freedom Community Project. This is a Christian charity that was set up in 2008 to support people who are struggling with poverty and other issues. The project has grown to cover the North East Midlands and Yorkshire with 8 support centres, currently the nearest is at The Meden Methodist Church.
