Greetings from Churches Together in Wheatley

  Welcome to our Web Pages!

 

 “Churches Together in Wheatley” is made up of both The Anglican Church and The Methodist Church here in Wheatley.  Details of the Individual Churches and Services are given in the following pages …. But what is “Churches Together”?

 

We are a leading East Midlands example of a Single Congregation Partnership; where all members enjoy common membership of both Church and Chapel.  We know that separately we would be below the critical level for effective Worship and Witness, but hope that we are and will continue to be an effective and attractive Christian presence in our Village.

 

 What – more importantly -  do we do ????

 

Firstly, we aim to retain, cherish and enhance our heritage and traditions; where neither Chapel nor Church are diminished, but are more effective in village Worship, Witness and Outreach.

 

We run several lively - and popular -House Discussion Groups, providing a focus for friendship and faith, and sometimes-lively debate. If you live here or nearby, and would like know more about these popular and friendly meetings, please ask Judith Goacher, Janice Sykes.

 

We have a Pastoral Visiting Team devoted to those in the Community who might benefit from a regular visit.  If you know of anyone we’re missing, please tell Norma Naisbitt or Beryl Sutcliffe.

 

We try to provide meaningful and relevant Worship in the Clays Group.  Choose a Sunday Service in “The Contact”, come along, and you’ll be very welcome!

 

We run an enjoyable monthly “Senior Citizens Lunch”, Hilary Bennett would be pleased to give you details.

 

Through our annual, village wide ChristmasGreetings scheme - in co-operation with The Contact - we also provide an annual income for the local Hospice, last year raising well over £1000.  To join in, please contact Gwynneth Anderson.

 

 In wider work, we support a long term Craft training scheme in a group of Vietnamese villages, and give to other charities such as “Christian Aid and “Sightsavers International”

 

For anyone in the Clays Group wishing to discuss Weddings and Christenings, Rev Mark Cantrill has an evening “Surgery” at Wheatley Chapel.  On the first and third Tuesday in the month between 6.30 and 7.30, Mark will be pleased to meet anyone wanting information, help and guidance. 

 

Some of our major Services and events planned in the next few months, where you would be welcome, are ………..

 

“Back to Church Sunday” – on 28th Sept – an informal and lively family Service.

 

The Chapel Anniversary and Village Lunch, celebrating the presence in Wheatley of the Chapel, Sun 12th Oct 10.30 and lunch in the Chapel at 12.30 pm.

Anyone wishing to Join the Christmas Card Scheme in December's Contact in aid of Bassetlaw Hospice, please contact Hilary Bennett (880596) or Gwynneth Anderson (880651). This is where we send Christmas Greetings to local people via The Contact in lieu of cards in return for a donation to the Hospice
