Conference feedback sessions

As previously announced at the Synod the Liverpool District is running a series of sessions looking at topics raised by various reports to the conference this year.

As you will see the first one is next Wednesday – we thought these details had been issued last week – but appears that they didn’t go out as anticipated – please give wide circulation (e.g. in church notices etc.).

These are open to all and each one starts at 7:30pm, each one is a stand alone session so whilst you are encouraged to attend as many as you wish there is no presumption that anyone will attend all of them!

Happy 127th Birthday!

Our church is exactly 127 years old today, Sunday 10th October. Happy Birthday Latchford Methodist Church.

Methodists were recorded in Latchford around two hundred years ago. Their first meetings were held in a room over a Wheelwright’s shop but because of growing numbers, worshippers moved, first of all to an old barn ( which had been used as a Sunday school since 1872 ) and then in 1879 to a Temperance Hall. Finally, after much fund raising and hard work our present Church was built and was opened on 10th October 1894 by the President of the Conference, the Rev. Walford Green.
The Sunday school continued to meet in the Temperance hall until 1907 when the Church hall was built, a primary wing was added in 1914 and the Church was enlarged in 1932 by the addition of a beautiful Chancel.
Over the years all the uniformed organisations have been part of our Church family, we also had a large church choir which won many trophies. Bible classes, guilds, missionary groups and a ladies’ bright hours have existed over the years as has a very large youth club in the 1960’s.

Bible Study

The study group meets again on Monday 4th October in the church lounge at 2pm. All are welcome. We are looking at the Book of Acts – studying God’s power in action.

If you are coming it will be useful to have read Acts chapter 5 v 15 – 42 beforehand. More details from Kit Heald
