Rainbow Rascals
Monthly – Church is open for Prayer
Simply open for prayer from 10 – 11am on the first Tuesday of every month. An A board advertises the fact for anyone to come in, and sit a while. Five minutes or an hour.
Net Buddies
Wouldn’t the original members of Somerton Methodist be surprised at this latest outreach from the Church. Pam and Ivor Dixon retired and one of their retirement projects was Net Buddies. Broadband was installed by the Church and anyone wishing to know more about the Internet and Computers were invited to join free teaching sessions. At this time the concept has expanded to three more locations including Keinton Mandeville Methodist Church.
Our long distance walks
cannot be left out. The reason was to raise sponsored monies for charities close to our heart, but we did enjoy those walks.
The Two Moors Walk 1996
Newquay to Falmouth was the next walk. The Bristol Oncology Centre benefited by over £3000 in acknowledgement of the treatment given to several members of the Church. Five members were diagnosed with the disease at the same time.
The Cornish Coastal Walk (North) 1998
Bude to Minehead Walking holiday 27th June – 3rd July. People had been so very generous in sponsoring previous walks, so this year it was decided to just have a walking holiday. A great time of fellowship despite the heavy rain that followed us.
Contact
We believe that it is 37 years since “Contact” first appeared. Contact the monthly Newsletter of Somerton Methodist Church, whose name was a cause for lengthy debate at the time, but, eventually the name suggested by John Chant was chosen. Not so many hard copies are needed now, but by email Contact goes to past members and Ministers around the world.
