Thackley Methodist Church and Community Centre

We have some good news. A small team of our members have been making regular checks of our premises and the wider Church Council (all volunteers) met with Rev Nick to discuss how we might move forward with reopening. We are still a way off; however, we are conducting risk assessments and have asked our groups to do likewise so we can plan how we can accommodate them and provide a safe environment for everyone. We continue to take guidance from the Methodist Church regarding the re-opening of our premises for worship and community activities. You will see from the link that this is updated regularly in line Government regulations. Opening our buildings and easing back into community life is a challenge as a number of our volunteers have found it necessary to retire from their roles. However, we remain a strong  fellowship supporting each other from our homes.  We hope you will continue to worship with us through our virtual service materials. Stay safe and keep well. https://www.methodi

As lockdown continues, Avis finds this poem by William Styring keeps her faith strong. Thanks for sharing, Avis. Faith's Prayer When all seems lost, no hope in sight No sun to shine thro' our dark night; When all we've hoped for, worked, and prayed Has crashed around us and we've swayed. From faith which always kept us strong Help us Dear Lord to jog along; A true perspective then to see That we may keep our faith in Thee. Though griefs seem more than we can bear And body aches with woe and care; When ev'rything is going wrong Help us Dear Lord to jog along. When our whole life disinegrates Despair is knocking at our gaes; No hope, no one to keep us strong, Help us Dear Lord to jog along.
