BIRCH METHODIST CHAPELIt is sad to report that Birch Methodist Chapel has now closed, a decision taken with a heavy heart as 5 or more generations have worshipped there and at one time, it had a thriving Sunday School. Many local families have done sterling work for so many years to keep it going. Over the last 8 years, attendances have gradually dwindled due to an ageing congregation. This situation, unfortunately, is a sign of the times and many Churches are suffering lower attendances and consequently financial pressure. For some 8 years, the Methodists and Anglicans have worshipped together twice a month and an offer has been made for the Methodists to lead a service in St. Mary’s once a month. Whether this will be possible is not known at the time of writing, but a new schedule of services at St. Mary’s will be published in the near future. For further details, please contact :
