Muddy Church
Sunday 21st April at 3.00 - 4.30 p.m. n invitation to ‘wander and wonder’ at Shining Cliff Woods, Ambergate, meeting at the Youth Hostel car park accessed from
Jackass Lane. (See poster for more details). This Muddy Church will be in a beautiful remote setting, and being in a woodland we will be thinking about trees. EXPECT MUD!!
Easter Offering Service
Sunday 28th April at Belper Methodist Church. This Methodist tradition dates back to 1883, when women in Manchester collected £32 for missionary work overseas from 'Christmas pennies' at family gatherings on Christmas Day. An annual service of dedication is now held with all money raised through the Easter Offering going to the World Mission Fund of the Methodist Church in Great Britain for work in Partner
Churches around the world. In 2023 this appeal raised over £190,000 nationally.
‘Let Justice Roll’ is this year’s theme drawn from Amos 5:24. Offering envelopes and bookmarks are still available; please place gifts in the offering basket at Wellspring on Sunday 21st April. The Dedication Service is next Sunday 28th April at Belper
Methodist Church at 4.00 p.m. and will tell stories of people standing for justice, persisting in the face of setbacks, and taking up the challenge anew as circumstances change i.e. how justice has 'rolled' into their lives. The service will be followed by tea and cakes, and all are welcome.
Trace & the Resonators
Saturday 27th April at 7.30 p.m. Hosted at Wellspring, this concert is being presented by friends from Cromford Methodist Church. Trace is an accomplished
Christian singer-songwriter, and the evening is something of her faith journey through well-known cover versions and self-penned songs. The concert starts at 7.30 p.m. and refreshments will be available in the interval. Tickets are £5.00 on the door, or to reserve please email Ian Ambrose: ian.ambrose@w3z.co.uk.
All proceeds will go to Wirksworth Christmas Lunch fund. (see poster)
