Fresh Voices is a Circuit initiative to encourage interest in leading worship and preaching. Within Methodism, worship in many of our churches depends on people from ordinary and diverse backgrounds who serve as Local Preachers or Worship Leaders.

You are warmly invited to a sharing evening, led by Rev. David Wood and a small group of Local Preachers and Worship Leaders, on Thursday, 10^th May at Ashton Methodist Church beginning at 7.30pm.

This will provide you with more information about the opportunities to lead worship and to preach as well as the support you will receive.

Read more about the programme by viewing the Fresh Voices slideshow or reading the Fresh Voices leaflet.

He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!

For longer than almost anyone can remember, Preston’s Methodists have gathered on top of Beacon Fell to worship as the sun rises on Easter morning. This year, for the first time since I started going in 1996, we actually had good enough weather to see it.
