Announcing Mossley’s RETRO Senior Youth Club

image

Welcome to our ‘Retro’ senior youth club, meeting the first Friday in every month. ‘Retro’ youth club is open to anyone in our church wishing to recreate their youth in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.  We have loads of activities, including badminton and table tennis or if you just want to sit and listen to the music from back in the day, have a coffee or hot chocolate and chat.
We meet again on Friday, December 4th starting time 8.30pm finishing when we run out of steam!!

Mossley Methodist Ramblers …final walk for 2015

It was always going to be a wet day, and unbelievably we have been blessed with beautiful dry days up until yesterday’s walk THE CASTLE WARD BOUNDRY TRAIL – 8miles. However it being our last of the year I just didn’t have the heart to cancel.

We were drenched, and I may have muddled the route a little, but the group spirit was high and once again being blessed by creation and fellowship was the order of the day.

Well done everyone for pushing on through the weather. I must take this opportunity to thank you all who have joined us on any of these walks, every single person has added to the fun and success of the day. So I look forward to seeing you all out again in January 2016. (Ps it might be an idea to ask Santa for a pair of gaiters 😉)

Mossley Methodist Retreat 2015

A group of our church family returned for the second time to Glenada Newcastle last weekend, where we had wonderful teaching through visualisation and meditative prayer from Brid O’Hare …it is safe to say that we all slept better than expected that first night.

Newcastle is the perfect location to appreciate Gods creation. Our walk with HIM and Friendships have most certainly deepened.

The ‘upper room’ …study, prayer and reflection. Spot the little on-looker … wee Georgia, who became ‘the perfect illustration’ for Gods love for us.

Down Time … tea and biscuits supplied by faithful servants. A thank you and goodbye to Brid. FUN night winners from Adelaide and Alan …priceless

Saturday down time .. some of the Ramblers drove to Dundrum and walked along Murlough Bay where they were treated to Gods beauty through creation. (ye that would be Tommy and Joe up the tree. They wanted to take the visualization of Zacchaeus into practice (or maybe they are just big kids)

 

Harvest Celebrations

As part of our Harvest thanksgiving we were joined this morning by mother and daughter Helen and Jude Sweeney from Whiteabbey Methodist. They shared with us how their vision as a church came into fruition and function of Store House within Newtownabbey, the people effected along with some moving stories.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, both ladies exclaimed how they we “over the moon” with our response.

Successful MACMILAN Worlds BIGGEST Coffee Morning 2015

We heard announced in church this morning that the final total raised was £730! An enjoyable morning with a talk from Lynn Lynas and music from Elaine Gowdy, it was also the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. Congratulations to everyone who took part and attended.

Statistics tell us that one in three of us will face cancer, and the money you raised will help make sure no one has to face cancer alone.
