RESPONSE

fear the God who controls the climate.

place throughout human history.

generation according to how nations
honour Him.

Tylers Green Methodist Church
As I write, we celebrate the start of the
Methodist New Year. To quote from a letter
from our Circuit Superintendent Minister, Nick
Thompson: “We look back on a year that has
not been easy – mourning with those who have
lost loved ones, and thinking of those whose
major life events have not been celebrated as
they might have hoped. We look forward in
hope that the vaccination programme will mean
that we are not all sent back into isolation. I am
confident that a plan for a vision and mission
from each of our chapels to their local

communities will take root in the coming year,
and bear fruit”. What a challenge! We, as a
church have a few ideas up our sleeve for the
coming year, which we will share in due course.
We were all really sad to lose another of our
dear church friends: Helen Panchen of Ashley
Drive,who has battled with cancer for nearly
three years and sadly passed away at the end of
August. She was such a lovely lady, always
cheerful, helpful and caring. We will miss her
very much and our thoughts and prayers go out
to her grown up daughter and son, Lucy and
David. We are still mourning the loss of Peter
Stevens who passed away at the beginning of
July.
We welcome back our Minister Vida Foday,
who spent the month of August visiting friends
and family in Ghana. It was a much deserved
break for Vida, as she spent a large part of this
past year, supporting our Superintendent
Minister, who was suffering from Covid and
Long Covid. This was on top of Ministering her
three churches.
As we enter the season of ‘Mists and mellow
fruitfulness’ we look forward to celebrating
harvest, when we give thanks to God for His
bountiful gifts to us. This year, due to the
shortage of preachers, our harvest thanksgiving
service will be a Local Arrangement, when our
Worship Leaders and others will prepare and
lead the worship, on 26th September. As in
recent years, our gifts will go to the Whitechapel
Mission who do such amazing work for the
poor and homeless in London.
We welcome back the Village Preschool into
our premises, after their summer break. We
hope the leaders have had a good, and welcome
break. They do amazing work with the little
ones and we wish them a happy and successful
year. We are so happy to have them all as part of
our community. Geraldine Nelson. Steward / Worship
Leader
