Thornton's 12 Days of Christmas

In December, Thornton Methodist Church displayed paper Christmas trees representing the 12 days of Christmas. Each church group and all the organisations who hire our hall throughout the year, were asked to decorate a tree. All agreed to do so and the 12 trees were displayed from the first Sunday in Advent until the end of the Christmas period.

So that as many people as possible could see the trees, an open morning was held on Saturday 13th December. Tea & coffee was served together with mince pies. Christmas music was played to provide a festive atmosphere.

The trees provided a refreshing change to our usual decorations and were appreciated by all who commented upon them.

A wonderful way to get everyone connected with our church to come together at Christmas time.

Wrose Buddies - A wonderful success story at Wrose Methodist Church

Approached by the Halle Project in 2012 to see if we would be interested in setting up a Well Being Cafe, the church was excited at the prospect of setting up a monthly session for those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's, for their carers, for the lonely and housebound. Jean and John Watmough worked in conjunction with Carol at halle and put together a group who would provide once a month a haven for those with particular need. For various reasons it could not be called a Well Being Cafe, and so the name "Wrose buddies" was born. Carol organises taxis to bring people to the church hall once a month, lays on the entertainment, the music, a speaker, food. From the start a charge of £3 per person and a voluntary payment of £1 per strip for the raffle was asked for and willingly given. a group of volunteers was formed and meets once a month before the session to make preparations so that those attending have an afternoon to remember. At first numbers were reaching 20...
