Mortimer Methodist Church Update Spring 2022

Mortimer Methodist Church is now meeting regularly for Sunday morning worship services each week, usually commencing at 10:30 am.  Note we are still observing some COVID safeguards, even though the requirements for social distancing and face mask wearing have recently been relaxed nationally.  Note also, the Basingstoke & Reading Methodist Circuit is continuing to provide a weekly pre-recorded service online for those who wish to continue worshiping in the safety of their own homes.

Our regular Sunday Worship Service takes place in the Methodist Church at 10:30 am each week, usually for around an hour.  We hope in the near future to be able to offer a time for coffee and a chat after the service, but are currently waiting for the numbers of COVID cases in West Berkshire to decline to a safer level.  We offer Junior church for younger members once a month, and also a crèche corner in the church for our family services, including all age worship.

Weekly church services are also posted on Facebook @Mortimer Methodist Church.  We welcome friends, both old and new, to join us week by week, or to just come and visit and see what we’re like!

 Donald Fraser, Church Steward

Our Sunday service starts at 11.00am, to which all are welcome. We are very family friendly and after the service we chat over coffee and tea. On the first Sunday in the month we share a family Communion. Children and young people also have their own separate groups during the morning.

Time4U is an oasis for parents/carers (with or without your children) to come and enjoy each other’s company over coffee and cake, to walk, talk, to enjoy some pampering or be creative. Every Thursday(during term time) between 9.45 and 11.45 in the Schoolroom. Contact Ann, Grace or Trish at Time4U@thechapel.org.uk

Sunday Mass 11:00 including Children's Liturgy, 
Thursday Mass 10:00 a.m.,
Sacrament of Reconciliation after Mass upon request
