Services and other events
It is with sadness that for several weeks now we have suspended all events in church buildings around the circuit in line with Government guidance.People, not the building, are the church and we will continue to find innovative ways to worship and join together in prayer.
For a guide to radio and television services available download Corona Radio Services
We are pleased to say that the Government guidance is slowly changing and so churches in the Circuit can start to consider re-opening for worship. The Methodist Church have compiled guidance to help Church Councils in their decision to re-open. Please see this letter (BMC Letter to all members) from the Circuit Ministers which explains the steps to reopening and also includes a survey which we would like as many of our members and worshippers to complete by 31st July 2020. The results will help the Circuit Leadership Team to plan strategically for reopening. If you have any questions on the letter or on our buildings reopening please contact your minister. The circuit is publishing a monthly preachinbg plan which is available on the downloads page
