Family Fun Evening

On Saturday 9th July, a Family Fun Evening was held in support of two of our church charities. £230 was raised to be divided between Action for Children (formerly National Children's Home) and the Kings Cross Project, a local charity based at our sister church, Trinity Methodist/URC, which supports disadvantaged families in Widnes.

An evening of games and refreshment was thoroughly enjoyed by a wide age range of our members, as the photographs show.

Liverpool Festival Choir

Liverpool Festival Choir

On Saturday 25th June 2011, the Liverpool Festival Choir, under director Colin Porter and organist Alan Thornecroft, performed at Farnworth Methodist Church, Widnes. They sang a range of traditional church music of praise, rejoicing and celebrating the Trinity. There were organ solos by Paul Hutchins and Colin Porter, and congregational participation in singing "How shall I sing that majesty" and "Jerusalem".

The choir gave their time freely and a collection was taken for our church charity, which this year, under the auspices of Methodist Relief and Development Fund, is for a water supply in a Ugandan village. The amount raised was £294. Afterwards we retired to the church hall for light refreshment.
