Church Weekend at Grange over Sands - A good news story from Haworth Road Methodist Church

On 7 June 23 of us travelled to Grange for our annual weekend away. We all assembled for dinner on Friday evening and left after lunch on Sunday after having a good time.

We were introduced to the theme for the weekend with a DVD on Friday evening. On Saturday morning we divided into three groups for discussion. Saturday afternoon was free for us to please ourselves and on Saturday evening there was a social and entertainment. After service and Communion on Sunday morning we had another couple of hours free before lunch.

For anyone who has not been on one of these weekends, I can recommend them. the food was delicious and the weather was absolutely gorgeous (although I can't promise that every year of course). The topics are always interesting and thought provoking. It is a way of getting to know each other better and there is always a great feeling of fellowship. I always find the whole weekend extremely inspirational.

Protect those who love you; because of you they are truly happy ...
