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.
The Methodist Church in Britain receives with deep sadness the news of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis, and gives thanks for his life and Christian witness.
"There are many reasons to thank God for the ministry of Pope Francis, not because he has been perfect, but because he has seen himself as a servant of God and a servant of those with whom he has sought to share God’s love."
(The Revd Ruth Gee, former President of the Methodist Conference and current Co-Chair of the British Methodist-Roman Catholic Dialogue Commission.)
A prayer
Almighty God,
we thank you that you continue to call disciples to represent you on earth.
We recognise this call in the life, faith and ministry of Pope Francis.
We give thanks for the unique gifts with which you blessed him for this task, and for his obedience in fulfilling all that you asked of him.
Thank you for receiving Francis into the eternal home that you have been preparing for him.
We pray that all who mourn his loss will be comforted and for the Conclave that will elect his successor.
We hold before you the Roman Catholic Church and pray that we might continue to work together for the unity of your Church and for peace, justice and compassion in your world.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Earth Care / Being an Eco Minded Church
It was agreed at our recent Earth Care Sunday service that the congregation and stewards were in favour of pursuing ways to make Monmouth Methodist Church even more ‘eco friendly.’ What does this mean? Quite simply it is taking practical action on caring for the gift of God’s earth and its resources in as many areas of Church activities as we can. It is not restricted to buildings and grounds but might include lifestyle, community involvement, prayers, and teaching.
What is needed now is for a group of like-minded people from our church members to start this project and be a proactive body in moving this idea from hope to reality. Although this may sound a huge challenge there are very helpful resources and guides available.
If you are interested please contact Anne Lincoln or David Howlett as soon as possible, so that we can realise this hope.
