EaSTER OFFERING SERVICE 2022

The Easter Offering Service is on Sunday 15 May at 4 p.m. at Kirkham Methodist Church. This service has been prepared by Methodist Women in Britain.

JUSTICE CONVERSATIONS

At this crucial time of change in the world, the Methodist Church, through the Walking with Micah project, is exploring what it means to be a justice-seeking church today. How should our Church challenge injustice and support others in working for justice in the future? What matters to Methodists today?
See attachment 'Walking with Micah'.

Our local Justice Conversation will take place on Saturday 28 May at Kirkham Methodist Church between 10.00 a.m. and noon. Tea, coffee, soft drinks and cake will be provided. Absolutely everyone is invited. This is for you! Please contact Kirkham.methodist@outlook.com or telephone 07927 410240.

GRAVE TALK

Saturday 14 May at The Drive Methodist Church from 10.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m.
Grave Talk is a Cafe space to talk about life, death, dying, funerals, and grieving. The session encourages us to consider death as an aspect of life but it is perhaps one that we don’t like to think about too often.
Grave Talk offers an opportunity to talk about those issues we perhaps find difficult or have not thought through until we need to. It offers ideas, peer support and the opportunity to share experiences. Please come along, bring a friend. This is open to all, all are welcome. Any questions contact Judith on 07586842846 Judith Smith – Pastoral Lay Worker.
(If anyone can't make the Saturday but would like to participate, there is another group at Freckleton on Monday 16 May at 2.00 p.m., if you would like to come along to that.)

DEADLINE for MAY Notices

Thursday 25 May at 12 noon.
