HELP
WE ARE IN AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS
And if we are to continue as a church and social venue at the centre of the village we need your help and commitment.
At present the few of us that are left are in our late 70s or early 80s and no longer able to meet the demands of running the building.
Combined with this the numbers of people attending the worship services and our coffee mornings and any social events has seriously declined.
We have recently lost the services of our organist / pianist but are are able to provide music / songs via videos
At present the building is used as follows:-
Sunday at 11.00 Worship Service
Monday 2.00 Open Door β Ladies group
Tuesday 10.30am Coffee Morning
Tuesday Rainbows and Brownies
Wednesday 10.00 Chair exercise class
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday once per month are meetings by Codnor WI, U3A and the Trefoil group.
Saturday 10.30am Coffee Morning
****************
BUT the building is primarily a Methodist Church and if the services fail to continue then the building closes with the attendant loss of its use for the other events.
Is there anything we can change / modernise that would attract you to worship here e.g. time of service, the type of songs, less formality, etc.
You are and have always been assured of a warm welcome here.
Your input on the way forward would be most welcome.
