Norton Methodist Church

The Wesley Guild meet on alternate Tuesdays in the Guild room (where else !!) at 7:00 pm. Our meeting are for men and women and all ages are welcome.
We became established in 1986 but we are aware that a Wesley Guild was very active in the Church in the 1930's. We seek, as did our predecessor, to provide a fellowship which enables our members to build each other up in the Christian Faith, and thereby as individuals and as a group be active in the work of our Lord Jesus. Throughout each session we try to have a balanced programme learning, discussing, socialising and serving. We actively support the work of medical missions and the Nigerian Health Care Programme is very close to our hearts.
We would love to welcome new members. We have a new programme each session. Just drop in at any or all of the evenings which interest you. If you need more information, please just ask. With our balanced programme, rich fellowship and readiness to become a forum for new ideas, the Guild provides the ideal opportunity to reach out to people in or out of the Church.

Wives & Friends was set up in 1966 as the "21 Group". Then in the 1970s the name was changed to "Young Wives". It was later felt that the name "Wives & Friends" filled the need of a greater range of ladies both in the church and the community - so the name changed again in 1988.
The group has an average attendance of 30 - 35 ladies and the programme is varied and interesting. Some are from the church others not. We meet every other Wednesday evening at 7:45 pm in Norton Methodist Church Hall.
Please feel free to come along and find out more. (see the monthly calendar for dates etc.).
