General Information & News 

Visitors and those new to Teddington Methodist Church A leaflet “Teddington Methodist Church – A Warm Welcome for the Whole Community” is available on request. We welcome anybody who may wish to become a member of TMC. 

Churches Together in Teddington. Please pray for: Sacred Heart Church. 

Circuit Prayers: Please pray for:

Teddington Methodist Church and our local Primary Schools.

East Anglia District.

Serbia – Protestants have a long history, but little impact. Many do not live out their faith. Pray for revival.  Recent laws create difficulties for all new religious groups, but through these challenges, newer churches do grow. 

Jill Harker We are deeply sorry and much saddened to have to inform you that, following a stroke ten days ago, Jill Harker, Local Preacher and former member of this church, died on 1st October. We send our sympathy, love and prayers to her sons Andrew, Martin, their families and friends. 

FOCUS NEWSLETTER – YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS PLEASE. The deadline for our next newsletter is Tuesday 28th October. Please send Helen Benson articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Focus aims to foster our sense of community and provide a window into our church for the wider community, visitors and potential new attendees so let’s make it interesting and reflective of the warm, welcoming church that we are. The best format is a MS Word document. Make sure you have the person’s consent if sending photos and let Helen know when you send them.  Email your contributions to focus@teddingtonmethodistchurch.org.uk or speak to Helen if you do not have access to a computer. Thank you!  

Can you help our Sunday Projection Team? We're looking for people to join us in preparing and projecting the services onto our screens. We work on a rota basis, so you would take a turn every 4 - 5 weeks. We use Powerpoint and do most of the preparation on our home pc's.  We have an extensive database of hymns and other items, which we use to build the weekly Powerpoint file. If you are interested, please speak to Richard Bott, Sarah Waine or Sharon Barbarez who can explain what's involved and give you a demonstration. 

Dates for your Diary 

Weekly coffee mornings in the church on Saturday mornings 10.30 - 12.30. Do come and spend time together over coffee and cakes/scones. If you would like to run a coffee morning to raise money for a charity of your choice, please speak to Sue. 

Wednesday Mornings 11am Bible Study. This term we are studying Romans. (During half terms the meetings will be on Zoom.) 

Fridays October 17th, November 7th & 21st, December 12th. Friday Fellowship. This autumn, we'll be exploring a lovely little book in the Old Testament, Nehemiah. All are, of course, Fridays at 11am. 

Sunday 12th October will be the celebration of the Church Anniversary, and we hope to organise a Church Lunch (Soup and Dessert). It will also be a Gift Day, an opportunity to give money for essential work to maintain the premises. We haven't had a Gift Day for several years but this year we need to replace the failing lights in the church and fix a leaking roof by the bell tower. Gift Day Letter.
