Sunday 28th April 2019.

Better Together Circuit Service.

On Sunday 28th April 2019 we delighted in a Circuit Service where all of the Methodist Churches in Colchester joined together as part of a weekend of activities with the aim of being Better Together.

 

Our Acting Superintendent Rev Ken Chalmers, and Supernumerary Minister Rev Paul Howes led our Worship. Our guest minister, the Rev Richard Hardy from Cardiff, who had led our Better Together Workshop on Saturday, was our preacher and brought us the message based upon 1 John chapter 4  verse 19 “We love because he first loved us”, and it can be heard here.

 

Richard is a director of The Entheos Trust.  You can learn more about him and The Entheos Trust from their website. www.theentheostrust.org
