Programme for October 2011 to March 2012
Ladies’ Afternoon Meeting
The Windsor Methodist Church Ladies’ Club which met on the 1st Monday evening of each month has now been closed.
To continue our enjoyed fellowship it has been replaced by a monthly afternoon meeting and will be called the
Ladies’ Afternoon meeting.
These monthly Ladies’ Afternoon meetings commenced in January 2012 and will
continue on the 1st Thursday of each month from 2.30 to 4.00pm in the Falder Hall and will include a cup of tea.
The meeting format could include a speaker, discussion, presentation or demonstration.
See weekly notices for
the following month’s activity.
Men’s Group The Windsor Methodist Church Men’s Group - although the Church
has had a regular Ladies’ Club, until Rev. David Smith instigated one, there has not been a Men’s Group in recent
times. Those who first constituted it would have wished it comprehensively to include those in employment.
The limited number for whom it would have been practical in an evening or weekend has confined it to those in various
stages of retirement. So it meets on the second Monday morning of each month in different members’
homes. The host provides light refreshment and initiates an informal discussion on a subject of his choice. It has proved to be a very stimulating
gathering so that its members’ enthusiasm has ensured regular attendance of around ten members of diverse work and life
experience. It has been an especial benefit that David Smith has almost invariably been present. It has been said that when men
get together the conversation revolves around politics, religion and sex and so it has proved to be. Such
issues have been related to the role of faith in connection with them. Conflict in the Holy Land, the Economic
Crisis, Genetic Manipulation, Faith Schools, and some incorporation of Sharia Law into English Common Law have been among
the political issues discussed. The future of the Church, Patterns of Worship, Ecumenism and Inter-faith,
and the inter-relation of ethics and religion have been religious matters under consideration. With some
of our children and grandchildren in relationships outside marriage, we have grappled with the nature of marriage in a world
of readily available contraceptives and both partners in full-time employment. Although there is often widespread agreement, we do not seek to reach
unanimous conclusions. We have all felt, however, that we have broadened and deepened our understanding
of such issues and been enriched in our thinking by the different views exchanged. The meetings have enhanced
our ability to follow the great commandments – “to love God with all our minds” and “our neighbours
as ourselves”.
Coffee Mornings Do come and have a cup of coffee and a chat on
a Saturday morning from 10.30 till 12.00 at the Windsor Methodist Church. We are all very friendly and would love to meet
you.
Bible Study & Lent Groups The Windsor Methodist Church holds
a Bible Study on a Monday afternoon and repeated on a Tuesday evening. If you would like to join please ask our Minister who
will give you the timings etc.
Book Club
The Windsor Methodist Church book club
has been running for just over two years, meeting every three months. There are about ten regular members, probably the limit
for this type of group, as each member hosts the meetings in turn. Between us we have chosen a wide variety of books including:
- The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins.
- Saturday, Ian McEwan.
- The Magic Toyshop, Angela Carter.
- The Chrysalids, John Wyndham.
Everyone
seems to enjoy the meetings, which are easy to arrange. If you enjoy reading and discussion, why not set up another group?
Flower Arranging The Windsor
Methodist Church is fortunate to have a group of six flower arrangers who take it in turns to arrange the altar flowers for
our weekly services. Members of the congregation sign up on the rota to donate money for the flowers each week, often
to commemorate family birthdays or anniversaries. For particular festivals such as Easter, Harvest
or Christmas the church is filled with flowers; just a few weeks ago the entrance porch, foyer, staircase and Church were
decorated with 21 floral arrangements. Wedding, christening and occasionally funeral flowers are also arranged by request.
We are always looking for other flower arrangers to join our happy band.
