Churches The Well Methodist Church We hope it is not too late to wish you a Happy New Year! Thank you to all in the community who gave donations for our Caring Service in November, when we collected items for local charities. These were distributed between Colchester Engagement and Next Steps (formerly Night Shelter) and Myland Community Pantry. We celebrated Christmas with the Preschool Christmas concert (delightful), our own Carol Service, and, a joint service on Christmas Day at The Ark, Highwoods. As Churches Together we sang Carols outside the Co-op on Chesterwell, which was well received. £80.50 was collected for Action for Children - thank you to all the customers who gave so generously. During the Christmas holidays, MakeLunch Myland provided a hot meal on our premises. A reminder that The Community Pantry (fortnightly) and the Warm Welcome (weekly) continue during the school term on Tuesdays from 12noon to 4.00pm. These two activities are open to everyone and details are on our outside notice board and on the website. We have a morning service each Sunday at 10.30 with Bible stories for children. If you need to contact our Minister, Rev Chris Preece, for Baptisms, Marriages or Funerals then her telephone number is Colchester 545253. Obviously, it is not possible to give up-todate information about all our activities in this article, but you can find out more by visiting our website HERE or, if you are passing our premises, there is a weekly notice sheet displayed outside. We pray regularly for places where readers of this magazine live. If you have a particular prayer request, please let us know. Keith and Di Thompson Tel: Col 844252 [email protected] 13
