Built in 1837, Monmouth Methodist Church has been described as one of Monmouth’s architectural “hidden gems”. Set back on St James Street, this original church building has seen few changes since being completed in 1837. With its fine moulded ceilings, graceful ionic columns, tall Georgian windows, spectacular first floor balcony and ornate preaching pulpit, this building and its people have contributed to the life of the town for nearly 190 years.
Reverend John Wesley's definition of one aspect of what it meant to be a Christian:
"[A Christian is] .... full of love to his neighbour, of universal love, not confined to one sect or party, not restrained to those who agree with him or his opinions, or in outward modes of worship, or to those who are allied ... by blood or recommended by nearness of place. Neither .... love only those .. of acquaintance... [this love] ... soars above all these scanty bounds, embracing neighbours and strangers, friends and enemies, yea, not only the good and gentle, but also the forward, the evil, and the unthankful. For, [the Christian] loves every soul that God has made, every child of man, of whatever place or nation .... And this universal, disinterested love is productive of .... gentleness, tenderness, sweetness, of humanity, courtesy, and affability."
Extract from a letter written by Rev. John Wesley to Rev. Dr. Conyers Middleton, 4th January 1749.
Important News
Some of you will know that we had a flood on Sunday 21st September. David E managed to stop the flow from the leaky kitchen water heater with the help of two plumbers who were miraculously working in the street opposite. Richard C did a sterling job in the afternoon sucking up the water from the hall carpet with his wet and dry vac. The insurance man came on Tuesdaythe good news is we are covered, the bad news is the work sounds extensive. The carpet has to be replaced and has already started smelling. So not only is Friendly Hour cancelled this week, but Harvest supper on Saturday too!! Future use of the hall and kitchen is therefore dependant on the repair and redecoration work timeframe.
