Coronavirus updates
Please note that there are no public meetings or worship services at Great Ayton Methodist Church until further notice. This is a result of the present COVID-19 pandemic. We are uploading weekly ‘services’ to our YouTube channel and we’d love you to join us on watching and taking part in worship in this way. Please look out for further updates as we explore other ways of doing church, being a family and serving the community. Stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives. We pray for God’s blessings on us all.
