Wrose Christmas Lights

Photo of the participants at the Wrose Christmas Lights switch on.

All the churches at Wrose and from the Circuit were invited to the switching on of our Christmas lights on Saturday 22nd November 2014.



The partnership of Wrose Methodist Church with Wrose Parish Council is a successful way of encouraging church people to get together and a short service with carols was arranged before the count down to the lighting of our nativity scene.  

Rev. Nick Blundell and Martin Humphreys, Wrose Parish Council Chair, led the worship and David Jessop and Ellen Imeson took care of the practical arrangements.

We estimated there were around 70 people standing round the wall outside and singing, including people from the churches at Wrose and from the Circuit.  Also this year we had a group playing guitars and leading the singing, which I’m sure added to the enjoyment. The singing was brilliant!

The rain kept away, and once the final carol had been sung, most people went into church and enjoyed nibbles and hot drinks or fruit juice, and a good chat! Thank you to all who turned up and took part!

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
