EVENTS
Easter Celebrations 2025
Sunday 20th April.
As the final hymn at the Easter Sunday service came to an end, the doors of the Methodist Chapel were flung open to allow an encore of the hymn, "Thine be the Glory", to echo across the village, spreading the joy of the occasion.
On what was an excellent morning of rejoicing, a full congregation decorated the Easter cross with flowers, took holy communion, sang classic Easter hymns as well as enjoying hot cross buns after the service while the decorated cross was placed outside the chapel for everyone to enjoy.
Harvest Celebration 2024
Sunday 13th October.
Harvest Festival was conducted by the Reverend Leslie Newton. Leslie is pictured below by the beautiful harvest arch created by members of the chapel. His excellent sermon (appropriate for Harvest) was based on the Wheat and the Weeds. A collection was held for 'All We Can' and raised over £350 while the food collection was in aid of the excellent work of the Ripon Food Bank
After the service a Harvest dinner was enjoyed..
