"Praying for all our Key Workers"
The Circuit's Mission is "to live and share the Good News of God's Love in Christ"
Please be aware that all regular Sunday services, events and other activities on our premises are currently suspended due to the Coronavirus situation.
Welcome and we are delighted that you are accessing the Bury St Edmunds circuit website. Things have had to change, so what’s going on……….. well…………..
The church is no longer in the church buildings but there is a church in every home and we are reaching out to people across the world.
Every week we produce a newsletter with circuit news, it is so important that we keep in touch with one another – this you can see below.
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Every week we are producing a worship sheet which you can find at https://www.burystedmundsmethodistcircuit.org.uk/185207545757.htm This is posted out to those without internet access.
Here are over 100 worship sheets and newsletters ready for posting
We are also video recording the service every week which you can find at http://www.trinitymethodistchurch.org.uk/corona.htm#1June
Daily Worship
Each day there is a thought for the day posted every morning on the website which you can access at https://www.burystedmundsmethodistcircuit.org.uk/176052272319.htm
We may not be meeting
in the way that we have for hundreds of years but we are continuing to worship,
to praise God, to pray and to have fellowship together. We are using many forms of technology to do
this.
We are keeping in touch
with one another and if you are new to this website and would like someone to
talk to then please contact one of the ministers.
God is very much alive here in our lives and we are witnessing God’s love in a different way. We must never forget that God is with us and that at the heart of the Christian Gospel is a message of hope, and that is something that the world could do with right now.
God bless
Debbie

<><><><><>
We cover some five hundred square miles of rural
mid Suffolk, stretching from Needham Market in the east, taking in
Stowmarket as you travel west, across to the Cathedral town of Bury St
Edmunds and then down to Sudbury.
Delightful, picturesque villages can be found on the minor roads
throughout the area which makes travelling through the countryside a
pleasure.
Ten churches make up the Circuit, one of which,
Christchurch in Needham Market, is a united URC/ Methodist congregation.
From large town centre churches to smaller village chapels the Circuit
seeks to give expression to our calling as worshipping, serving, outward
looking, and caring communities.
I hope you will enjoy exploring this website and discovering all that the churches of the Circuit have to offer.
With Every Good Wish and God Bless,
Rev Debbie Borda
Superintendent Minister

Funeral Services
At present we are unable to meet at our churches to remember, celebrate and give thanks for, the lives of our friends and colleagues who have recently passed away. So we have created a new webpage with details of forthcoming funeral services, which you can access here.
