Far more people helped make this such a success than there are photos of - I was too busy mixing & washing up to take more!😂

💬"I want people to know there is a place for them. There is a church where they will not be judged. There is a community waiting to love them."

For much of their early life, Grace felt pushed to the margins of Christian spaces. As a q***r performance artist, Grace often sensed that their identity and faith were seen as incompatible. Today, that story looks very different.

All are welcome here : )

As we mark the start of LGBTQI+ History Month, we join together in this prayer 🙏

Loving God,
Show us the way to make our worship spaces and congregations welcoming to all who seek your face.
Cause us to lift the barriers which prevent us from being welcoming.
Change the hearts of those who do not welcome difference and who are reluctant to embrace the full gospel of Christ.
All are welcome.
We are one body.
One Church.
Amen.

Whether you’re looking for community or just fancy a cup of tea and a chat, there’s a place for you here at Howden Methodist Church ☕🎶✨

✨Ways to join in…
• Sunday Morning Worship every Sunday at 10am
A relaxed, traditional service with hymns old and new, Bible readings, prayer, and thoughtful reflections from our lay volunteers and local preachers.

• Extravagant Worship once a month, Saturday afternoons
Upbeat, piano-led praise for all ages. Expect energy, warmth, and a lot of joy. Cake and crayons are very much part of the plan.

• Bible Reading Group fortnightly
Wednesdays in person during the afternoon, or Wednesday evening online if that suits you better. Friendly, open, and very much “bring your questions”. Message us for details.

• Monthly Coffee Morning, second Saturday of the month
Coffee, cake, stalls, and good conversation. Come on your own and make friends, or bring the family.

• Special events throughout the year
Our next one is a pancake lunch, on Shrove Tuesday, and there’s always something bubbling away.

✨Getting involved…
We’re a drop-off point for donations to Goole Trinity Food Bank, and behind the scenes there’s a brilliant bunch of volunteers making tea, caring for the building, organising events, playing music, welcoming people, and more. If you could help in any way, big or small, we’d love to hear from you!

A space for the community…
We love being a place that’s used. Thinking of running a group, class, or event? Get in touch and let’s chat if we could host it.

✨Call in or message us, we’d love to see you! ✨
