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.
Church Flowers If you would like to provide flowers for church, please sign up on the rota which is in the Stanley Road Narthex.
Churches Together in Teddington. Please pray for: Teddington Baptist Church.
Circuit Prayers: Please pray for:
Hanworth Methodist Church and their Community Larder.
West London Mission District.
Tunisia – continued economic decline and unemployment, the increasing presence of Islamic fundamentalism, and a heavy-handed President (who rewrote the constitution to give himself more power) all serve to rob Tunisians of confidence in their country’s future. Pray that the travails of Tunisia might somehow draw people towards Christ.
HANGOUT – volunteer urgently required.
HangOut is the circuit youth group aimed at teenagers. It meets monthly at Sunbury MC, on a late Sunday afternoon, offering a safe space in which young people can ask the big questions of life as they explore the Christian faith. They also enjoy fun and fellowship.
Kojo Amoasi and Bron Coveney are the leaders, and they would appreciate the immediate active support of an extra pair of hands at each meeting to help with some of the practical support tasks involved in running the group, including the purchase and preparation of refreshments. The new volunteer could also share leadership of the group, by providing cover if either Bron or Kojo is unavailable.
Could you offer 2-3 hours of your time once a month? You would need to be willing to engage positively with young people as well as being reliable and have a hands-on, can-do approach.
If you became involved, you would need to be safely recruited according to Methodist Church policy. This means supplying a reference, applying for a DBS check and agreeing to undertake Foundation level safeguarding training within the first 6 months of appointment (unless completed already in the last 2/3 years).
If you could offer to support HangOut when they travel to 3Generate, the annual Methodist Church youth event in Birmingham that would be really appreciated as well!
To discuss this opportunity further please contact Bron at bronwyncoveney@gmail.com or Kojo at kojo.amoasi@outlook.com Thanks for considering.
FOCUS NEWSLETTER – your contributions please. The deadline for our next newsletter is Wed 24th June. Please send Helen Benson items to include such as articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Focus aims to help build our sense of community and to 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. If sending photos, please make sure you have the person’s consent 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!
