Church online
Over the last ten months or so Great Ayton Methodist Church has done a great deal of work to develop its online presence. This has been a key mission area for us and we expect that this will continue after we begin to be able to meet for worship in person again. Our YouTube channel is averaging around 220 views each week which probably represents close to 300 people taking part in online worship. You can also engage with us via our social media channels using these links:
Church charity
We’re delighted to be supporting the Russ Devereux Headlight Project as our nominated charity for 2021. This project is local to us and works with children and adults who need support with their mental health. You can read more about our fundraising here. We continue to support Middlesbrough Foodbank and to support a local village driven initiative to provide meals for people who are vulnerable in Ayton.
Welcome back!
We’re holding a ‘Welcome back!’ open morning on Saturday 14 August from 10am – 1pm. We want to welcome people back to church and open back up to the community. There’ll be information about all the activities and groups provided by the church as well as craft, and cake stalls, prayer and consultation activities. There will be bacon butties to buy and free tea and coffee will be served. Any proceeds will go to the Headlight Project.
