And so it begins.... The Christmas adverts are on the TV, the papers are full of gift ideas, restaurants are advertising their Christmas menus, the shops are getting busier.

Our mission

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.

Our mission in the Shropshire and Marches Circuit is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves by the power of the Holy Spirit in our large and rural community.

With God's help we aim to:

be aware of the differing needs of all our congregations and be prepared to adapt in order to offer mutual nurture and support

be aware of the needs of our Ministers, Lay workers and Local preachers and encourage them in their calling and mission

be aware of the needs of our local neighbourhoods and be witnesses for Jesus Christ within them

accept our responsibility towards the natural world by consciously caring for God's creation

be vocal in our commitment to inclusivity, ensuring our churches are places where all are welcome regardless of gender, race, sexuality, or any other issue which might be considered a barrier

so that we may unite as a Circuit in enabling the worship of God, and be a loving, effective and constantly evolving Methodist presence in our communities.

Prayer of the day

A prayer for our senses

Loving Lord, who made me for your delight,
bless me with good use of the senses you created:
that I may use my sight to see the injustice in your world,
and respond with my heart;
that I may use my hearing to listen to the voice of suffering,
and respond with my heart;
that I may voice what is your will at all times, in all places
and respond with my heart.
Loving Lord, who made me for your delight,
bless me in your service.
Amen.
