Dear Friends
You’re warmly invited… come On The Way!
We’re excited to invite you to register your interest in an inspiring new Methodist discipleship course: On the Way
This short, accessible course is designed especially for those who:
Whether you’re at the beginning of your faith journey or seeking to refresh and deepen your discipleship, On The Way offers a welcoming and thoughtful environment to walk alongside others.
I had the privilege of a sneak preview of the material and was involved in its launch at the Methodist Superintendents Conference in Blackpool—and I can honestly say it’s engaging, relevant, and full of rich opportunity for conversation and growth. It’s been carefully shaped to speak into real life, and I’m genuinely excited about what it could offer across our Churches, Circuits and Districts.
If you’re curious, interested, or simply want to find out more, we’d love you to register your interest and take the next step On The Way. This link will enable you to get in touch to express interest and find out how you can be involved.
Let’s journey together.
Every Blessing
Rev. Dr Vincent Jambawo
A Superintendent Minister

Thanks to grants and support from Warrington Borough Council community initiative fund, AED Donate and Tesco Bags for life we installed a public defibrillator in May 2021 outside the church hall doors for use by anyone in the area.
During these four years the defibrillator was twice called upon but ultimately not required for either emergency.
The defibrillator battery has a shelf life of four years and so we have recently replaced the battery to help protect our community way into 2029.
