An Advent Message from the District Chairs

Our District Chairs, Jonathan and Faith, filmed this at Wesley's House - just yards from the old Foundry where early Methodists turned faith into practical hope. Mary’s song in Luke 1 still calls us to mercy, justice and grace. And Susanna Wesley summed it up: believe it and behave it. This Advent we are asking you to pray, act and talk about it - tell us how you are bringing mercy and justice to your street, church or neighbourhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJfMNNE18ts

Action for Children Secret Santa

Spread a little Christmas joy this year, and make Christmas special for a vulnerable child. Action for Children’s Secret Santa campaign is once again up and running. Make a donation or buy a gift from a teddy bear to warm winter clothes and bedding. Visit the Secret Santa webpage for more information and to purchase your gift.

Thanks, and best wishes.
