Churches The Well Methodist Church A message from Rev Chris Preece It is a great joy to have this opportunity to say ‘hello.’ I’mRev Chris Preece and, at the beginning of September, I became the minister of The Well Methodist Church and the Superintendent Minister for Colchester Methodist Circuit. I have really enjoyed starting to meet people over this past month, to hear the stories of those involved at The Well and the hopes for the future. I am sure we have exciting times ahead! We know that we live in great times of change. Over the past month alone, we have seen how the country has come together in a period of national mourning for the Queen. In her reign, Queen Elizabeth was never afraid to quietly share her faith and this was so important in many ways. At the same time, she showed us through her cameo appearance with Paddington, her sense of humour and that fun could be had by all. Through her life the Queen shared her story with the world. It would be good to hear your story too and for us to have a sense of how the church can support the community in different ways. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We had a tribute to the Queen in our illuminated window and we are already enjoying working with Chris. We hope you too will soon get to know her; she can be contacted by telephone on 01206 545253.
