Come along to the joint Covenant Service, an annual Methodist tradition which has become a favourite with all the Meltham Churches worshipping together. This is a service at which we can celebrate together all that God has done for us and affirm that we give our lives and choices to God. A great opportunity for us to worship together and keep warm together.
Sunday 19th January – 10:30am – Meltham Methodist Church – Mill Moor Road – ALL WELCOME – Do join us!
The Methodist Covenant Prayer

The Toddler Church is restarting this week on Tuesday 7th January at St Bartholomew’s Church in the centre of #Meltham. Toddler Church welcomes pre school aged children with their carers every Tuesday, 9am – 11am (during term-time only). Regarding bad weather during the winter, if the C of E school is open, then we shall also be.
If you’ve not been before or are not sure, then why not come along and give it a go? We are a friendly group and you will receive a very warm welcome.
Look forward to seeing you all – The St Bart’s Tots Team.
Similar to last year, primarily due to the continued high energy prices and in order to reduce heating costs, services will NOT take place in all four churches each Sunday during January, February and March 2025:
Everyone is encouraged to join together at one of the other churches if there is not a service at the one you would usually attend. Let’s stick together (and worship together) during these winter months and keep warm.

Merry Christmas to everyone from us all here in the Parish of #Meltham.
Today, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, born in a dark, dim, cold and draughty stable in and amongst the animals as there was no room elsewhere.
Thanks to all who have joined us throughout this past month at our various events and services, it’s been great to see you all – we hope you experienced the joy and hope that Christmas brings. If you missed out, you can still experience it at our upcoming services – Christmas isn’t over yet – it’s only just begun!
Eat, drink and be merry today (if you’re able) but remember to make room for JESUS in whatever you get up to today.
Enjoy!
