From the Pulpit
Yet Another Covenant Service...?

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 that God may broaden our horizons

God of infinite wonder, whose love has no horizon and whose grace has no border, we open ourselves to your presence this day.
God of the minutiae, in whose company 'insignificant' has no meaning, we receive your blessings this day.
Raise our eyes from only that which is in front of us.
Lift our heads, that our vision may be broader and longer.
Sow seeds of passion in our hearts
and lay embers of hope in our lives
that we may never accept the concept of inevitable,
but instead cultivate communities of peace that live a language of possibility.
