Junior Church

The overall aim of the youth work in East Molesey Methodist Church is to create a positive Christian atmosphere for learning and fellowship.

Junior Church meets with the main church congregation at the beginning of Sunday morning worship except on mornings with communion when Junior Church joins in at the end of the service. The youth and children's work in the church covers an age range of 3-18, using a wide variety of religious subject matter. Children explore faith in three separate groups. Crèche facilities are also available.

Crèche with toys and books and a rota of friendly volunteers is available for the under threes.
The younger group or 'Flames' use stories and crafts to give members their first understanding of the faith.
The middle group, 'Lasers' use bible stories and activities to understand the basics of Christianity,
The upper group use religious discussion and activities to learn about life in the church and their role as Christians.

Other activities including parties, cinema trips, church social events, special services, take place alongside from this framework as well as joint events with other churches.

House Groups

At the moment there are three house groups which meet fortnightly on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Wednesday afternoons. Groups are held in people's homes.

All the groups work on the same material simultaneously and the courses run for a set number of sessions, usually between 6 and 10. The housegroup leaders and assistants meet regularly with our minister to discuss choices of materials.

Sometimes our sessions have opened with a video or audio tape using professional actors or well known speakers. Accompanying notes stimulate discussion and suggest questions but each group tackles the subject in the most relevant way for the people present. Sometimes sessions are taken from books giving guidance on bible notes or current issues.

Housegroups are small enough for each person to feel they can contribute if they want to. Prayer is an important part of housegroups. This also takes into consideration the needs of the group.

The groups are flexible and we occasionally have a 'shuffle' round. So if you would like to come along you would be very welcome.

Youth Club

East Molesey Methodist Church is host to a popular youth club which meets on the first Friday of every month between 8pm and 10pm. The club, which consists of members between the ages of 12 to 16, enjoy a range of activities both on and off the church premesis.

Model Railway Club

One of the newest activities available at the church is Molesey Model Railway Society. Welcoming complete beginners as well as old hands, they meet every Wednesday at 8pm and on occasional Sundays.

Wives Group

Despite our name, we welcome all ladies who prefer to come to an evenings group. We meet on alternate Tuesdays from 8 to 10pm in Room 1 of the church.

Our programme is varied, offering something of interest to everyone. We have speakers who enlighten us on places of interest, particular hobbies or jobs and demonstrate their crafts or products. We enjoy theatre trips and meals out. Once a year we join with ladies from other churches in the circuit for a special evening of entertainment, competitions, food and fundraising. During the year we raise money for local and national charities and support the church in many events.

We have a break during school holidays but during the summer we like to meet for coffee evenings in each other's homes. New members are always welcome.
