Thornton Poems and Pancakes

We began this year’s events by hosting our popular Poems & Pancakes evening.

Again, we had a wonderful time with delicious food and great entertainment. The weather was not the best with wind, rain and even snow flurries but the local community and also from other Churches came along to join in the fun.



We had such an amazing range of poems that made us reflect on the past, think about the future and some that just made you laugh and feel so much better for it. We heard poems written by famous poets and other poems penned by people from our Church. The evening was a great success and the savoury & sweet pancakes were not to be missed they were just delicious.

This is the third year we had hosted this event and judging by the attendance and entertainment we had I am sure it will not be the last.

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.
