Windsor Methodist Church Outreach Committee
This
committee is an important element of the Church. Its members are drawn from the various organisations within the Church. Its
function is to give practical expression to the faith which members of the church profess in ways that benefit others both
in the local community and in other parts of the world. Through fund-raising it seeks to support deserving causes both
locally, nationally and internationally.
The Church’s Outreach activities include the direct running of major events such as the
stunning Flower
Festival held
in the Windsor Church as part of the 2008 Windsor Heritage Fortnight. The “Fairtrade” theme was cleverly demonstrated by the beautiful floral
displays. Over 1,000 people came through the doors and an incredible £3,300 was raised during the Flower Festival.
Through the work of the Committee
Windsor Methodist Church has established a relationship with a Methodist church in Poland. As with all churches we seek
to encourage individuals to express their own faith in ways that broaden the churches involvement in the local community.
This has lead to and increased usage of the church premises as a community resource with the facilities being put to good
use in hosting concerts and the production of plays.One of the other Outreach activities is the liaison with other Churches in Windsor under the banner “CHURCHES TOGETHER IN WINDSOR”. - UK based organisations working with young people whose home background is not good.
- Over the last 3 years over £15,000 has been raised for charities working internationally including
Water Aid, Schools in India and various projects in parts of Africa.
