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 The flowers that Jean Thompson provided last week we’re given to Danny Agarwal, who helps with Junior Church and his daughter Holly, who was doing the projection at last Sunday’s service. Also, to Julia Lavery with Tom and Jess, who made the tea and coffee, served it and washed up afterwards.

Teddington Methodist Church and the Voluntary Care Group – supporting people in our community.
North Bedfordshire Circuit.
Nicaragua – has suffered through volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, war, conflict and political struggles. These struggles have led many to question life and turn towards the compassion of Christians and hope in Christ. Pray for churches to be a blessing to the nation.
Sunday Coffee and Welcoming If you would like to help and be on the Coffee rota or Welcome rota, please let Gill Jackson know.
Wednesday Friends It has been some time since Wednesday Friends temporarily closed, having been run by our dear friends Judith and David Lawton, supported by other volunteers. It was an afternoon tea group, with planned activities included such as talks, quizzes, crafts etc. It is now hoped that we can start running it again with support from the Voluntary Care team. This might well mean moving the monthly meetings to Mondays as those who have already expressed an interest in helping have more availability on that day. Sally is the remaining member of the committee but we would like to put together a team to help with planning and running the group as part of our service to the local community. If you feel you can help, please talk to Sally or Sarah.
A Songs of Praise on Sunday 6th April The Circuit Plan shows that the service will be a Local Arrangement, and the Stewards would like people to choose their favourite hymn (and optionally say why). Please give us your suggestions by Sunday 16th March.
Water Aid If anyone would like to take part in our annual Lent collection for WaterAid, please ask Denise for a label which needs to be filled in whether or not you wish to gift aid your donation. While the campaign is called ‘Jars for Change’ it is not necessary to use a jar- a small plastic bag is also welcome if that’s easier but please remember to include the label. The donations need to be returned to church by Easter Sunday at the latest. Many thanks Denise
