Pancakes and Poems at Thornton

Image
By
Pancakes and Poems, what a great evening we had on 13th February (Shrove Tuesday), in aid of 2nd Mile Project.

People were invited to come along for tea/supper and enjoy a variety of pancakes both savoury and sweet.


The selection was most tempting with fillings such as chilli. chicken and avocado, mushroom or cheese and onion. The sweet fillings were too many to mention, but my favourite was fresh fruits with ice cream – yum, yum.

Throughout the evening, many people had brought poems to read to everyone. The genre of this was amazing with funny, romantic, knowledgeable and even a little bit naughty.

It was good to be together with laughter and smiles all round. A special thank you to everyone who came and all who helped.

    Here's one that was naughty:

    Said uncle shark to nephew shark
    Coasting off the shore,
    “Don’t go in too far my lad,
    As I did once before.
    Keep your distance, close your eyes,
    Keep them at fins’ reach,
    Resist the urge to hunt them down
    Up on the nudist beach.”

    Said nephew shark to uncle shark,
    Cutting through the brine,
    “Why this advice, Oh dearest Unc,
    Why do you take this line?”
    “Don’t get me wrong”, the elder said,
    “It’s not that I’m a prude.
    But the bits that bobble up and down –
    They put me off my food!”

Allerton Friday Fellowship

By
In March last year, we started a conversation with the young people at Allerton about whether they wanted a chance to meet up together during the week, and what sort of group they might like. They had a think and came up with some suggestions, and so in June we launched the ‘First Friday Fellowship’, a group which meets monthly on the first Friday evening of the month. We had a month off in August, but otherwise have met every month since. The young people come together for a mixture of food, fellowship, fun and games and faith conversations. The young people involved are regular attenders and there is a good atmosphere amongst the group. As we go into the new year, we are looking at different activities to get involved with, including encouraging links with other groups in the local area and across the circuit. If you have any young people in your churches, who might like to get involved, in either this group or the Thursday evening gro

Christmas at Thornton Methodist Church

By
We got into the spirit of Christmas early here at Thornton by holding a Frost Fair on 18 th November. It was a great success; people from other churches and the community called in to see what was on offer. There were lots of opportunities to buy that special Christmas present and also stalls to win a prize every time. The cake stall was a hive of activity and the café was very busy with snacks and lunches. The children’s colouring competition was also in full swing. A great day was had by everyone and a big thank you to Sharon Pilkington for all her hard work. Our ‘ Jingle Jamboree ’ of entertainment weekend was a great success with fun and laughter all the way. There was a variety of acts which included our own Fairy Godmother, performed by Irene who kept us entertained. Win sang ‘ There was an Old Woman who Swallowed a Fly ’ and got the audience to join in with the verses. Sharon and her elves were up to mischief and persuaded certain people to dec
