On Thursday 23rd September the Cumbria District Methodist Women in Britain are meeting at Penrith Methodist Church.  This poster gives further details.

Wondering whether leading worship and/or preaching is for you?  Have you had a nudge from God [maybe via people who know you]? Come along to this taster session [on zoom] on Monday 20th September 7:30 – 9pm, with accredited local preachers and worship leaders to explore what it might mean for you.  Booking details here.

After missing 2020, the Cumbrian Methodist Women in Britain are back holding their annual residential meeting.  It will be held at Thornleigh in Grange from 22nd to 24th November, led by Rev Dr Nicola Price-Tebbutt with the theme ‘Women of faith in times of crisis’.  The booking form is available.

As usual, an important part of our circuit meeting is the sharing of good news from around the circuit.  Representatives are invited to share what is going on in their churches.  Our Good News sheet is then included in all the churches notice sheets.

Give Thanks Christian Aid campaign – Cumbria Methodist District has partnered with Christian Aid to support this appeal to make a donation in thanks for Covid-19 vaccinations that have been received. A District Give Thanks page has been set up which can be found here:  https://giving.tapsimple.org/online/christian-aid/cumbria-gives-thanks-for-our-vaccines

Rev. Dr. James Tebbutt, Chair of District says “As our own society becomes a little safer, we are even more aware of the disparity with the many parts of the world where without our collective resources the pandemic rages. Accordingly, in the Easter season of life and hope and beyond, we want to encourageeveryone again, whether in gratitude for vaccinations received or simply out of love for your neighbour, to donate just a few pounds or a much larger sum through Christian Aid, who with its partners are seeking to help some of those who are most in need of our help and resources.”
