A warm welcome to our online HOME MISSIONS SERVICE.

Each year the Methodist Church in Ireland sets aside Home Mission Sunday to focus on local mission and to raise money to support mission initiatives throughout Ireland.

Our theme for Home Mission Sunday 2025 is “What Matters Most”, based on the passage in Acts 20 where Paul addresses the Ephesian elders for the last time on his final missionary journey to Jerusalem.

Acts 20:17-24

¹⁷ From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church. ¹⁸ When they arrived, he said to them: ‘You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. ¹⁹ I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents. ²⁰ You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. ²¹ I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

²² ‘And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. ²³ I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. ²⁴ However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Supporting Our Local Community …

At our church in Mossley, we may be small in number, but we’re big in heart. We’re proud to support two vital local causes that make a real difference right here in our community.

Both initiatives depend on the continued generosity of our community. If you’re able to contribute, your donations will go directly to helping our neighbours in need. Together, we’re keeping compassion local.
