A celebration...

Circuit spotlight ⭐️

On the 7th June, the congregation at Trinity Methodist Church Oadby celebrated the 100th birthday and 78 years of ministry of Rev Dr Albert Mosley. Albert received a letter from the then President of Conference, Rev Richard Andrew, which was read out by Rev Malcolm Oliver, acting Superintendent.

The letter spoke of a life of outstanding service to Christ's Church across the world. As Overseas Division Secretary, later General Secretary, Albert worked tirelessly to strengthen relationships with Methodist Churches across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Americas and Europe, helping to shape what we now understand as the global relations work of the Methodist Church in Britain. It spoke of a ministry shaped by compassion, openness and a vision of God's inclusive kingdom.

Please join us in congratulating Albert! 👏

Thank you all for your love and support over the last eight years.
We have loved living in the diverse, multicultural place that is Leicester.
We have enjoyed being part of a church that seeks to be a 'Church for all in the heart of the community.'
It has been brilliant to see the buildings so well used by so many people of all faiths and none. In a time of increased tension in so many parts of our country, it has been great to see people of many faiths and cultures feeling comfortable in Zeph's cafe.
Our church community has welcomed new people from different continents and cultures and it has been a joy to see new children join, whether those children are the under fives or the over ninety-fives ... or anything in between.

The last service I will lead, will be the 10:30 Communion on the 12th July, and the circuit farewell service will be at 6:30pm on that day.
Do come along and say goodbye.

God bless you. Rev Derek

All welcome...

Join us for a memorial service ahead of Mothering Sunday held in loving remembrance of the wonderful women we have lost. This non-religious gathering will be a time to celebrate motherly love, honour their memory and find comfort in one another’s presence.

Great to hear

We'd like to thank Clarendon Park Orchestra, their director David Calow and their lovely audience for all their donations during the fundraising event last Saturday.

A grand total of £919.52 was generously given, and will be put to excellent use providing meals and activities for refugees and asylum seekers. This money will make a real difference to those seeking sanctuary in Leicester.

And on top of all that, it was a wonderful night too - so once again, thank you so much for everything to everyone involved.

A prayer for today

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.

We pause and remember

Join us in a prayer for Holocaust Memorial Day which takes place every year on 27 January 🙏

Holy God,

On this Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish persons whom the N***s murdered. Some names known to us but all known to you. We remember, too, those who survived and bore the physical and emotional consequences. We pray for our neighbours today, our Jewish communities who still feel the effects of the Holocaust and the fear that antisemitism continues to bring.

We remember, also, the thousands of other victims of the N**i regime. Those who were disabled, gay, Roma, Jehovah’s Witnesses, political opponents, and those who were brave enough to stand up and say that what was happening was wrong. As we think this year of the need to ‘bridge the generations’, forgive us when we have allowed ourselves to hate others. Forgive us when we have chosen not to stand up against hatred, and forgive us when we choose to forget because it’s more comfortable than remembering the horrors of what has happened.

Yesterday, today and forever you are God. Your love endures forever. We hold before you all victims of genocide and hatred and ask that you bring peace and justice. May we never forget and may we be equipped to make a better world.
Amen.
