The
Church in Wellington Road was first built in 1905, a church built by the
people for the people upon a foundation of prayer. With a growing membership,
the building was extended, and the Church as we know it today was erected in
1940 (with special permission because of the war). As
a church family, we try to cater to the needs of all age groups. Recently, we
witnessed the presence of the Holy Spirit at work in five of our young people
whilst on an Alpha trip. This joy was made complete when they were all
confirmed in November. At the other end of the spectrum, we hold a monthly
Tea and Worship Service to provide fellowship and physical and spiritual
feeding for both our regular worshippers and those who do not come to our
church. Our Women's Fellowship and Westey Guild have continued in their work
of prayer and fellowship for 58 years. |
No matter what our age, from 3 years to 101
years, we all meet with a desire to worship the Lord and seek his message for
our lives. Though our church now has a comparatively small
membership, our numbers are increasing, not declining. Recognising the ongoing
need for change, we have altered our service times to enable greater
continuity with our minister and are introducing new elements, new songs, and
a more interactive role for our congregation. Our aim is to fill our church
to the rafters with people praising God. Rather than being a "Field of
Dreams" church, thinking "build it and they will come", we
remember that Jesus said, "Go and make disciples". So we must take
Jesus into the community before we can bring the people into our church. Our
church was built by the people for the people in 1905; that purpose and the
church still stands. |
