The adjoining hall acts as a focus for a wide range of activities in which the church serves the village community.  On the first, third and fifth Tuesdays in the month there is a well attended ‘Pause for Prayer’ session at 10.15am followed by a Coffee Morning.  On the first Tuesday of the month there is a lunch from 12.15 to 1.30pm.

Bible Study courses are held during Lent and at other times of the year.  On occasional Friday evenings the church hosts and serves a meal.  The atmosphere is warm, intimate and there is always a post-dinner speech or presentation.  Other social events such as Quizzes, Barbecues and Strawberry Teas give more oppurtunity for outreach as well as fundraising.

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE of ASHING and HOLY COMMUNION

To observe the beginning of Lent we will be having a Service of Ashing led by Rev Rita Carr.  This service will take place on Ash Wednesday, 26th February at Old Newton Methodist Church at 6:30pm.  The Service will consist of "Ashing", where an ash cross will be signed on your forehead, followed by Holy Communion.  This is a tradition which has marked the start of Lent for many generations.  We hope that you will feel able to come along to this Service as we move into the season of Lent.
