MHA Sunday – 8th June 2025

This year’s MHA Sunday is on: 8th June 2025

MHA Sunday is an annual event where churches are encouraged to hold a service to raise awareness of Methodist Homes (MHA), pray for those in later life and those who support them, and donate to support the charity.

This year MHA Sunday shines a spotlight on dementia. MHA are proud to support people living with dementia, helping them stay connected and engaged in their communities.

Whilst the official date for MHA Sunday is always the second Sunday in June, you can choose to celebrate MHA Sunday on a more convenient date if you wish.

Information on how you can mark MHA Sunday can be found here – MHA Sunday | Celebrating the Work of MHA

District Prayer Diary – 2024/25

The District Prayer Diary is available on the Northampton District website, and you can access it here.

Online Services in the Circuit/LEPs

Unfortunately the Circuit are struggling to organise Online Services on zoom, due to preacher availability and tech support.  We don’t have any planned at present.

There are however a number of Online Service options on a Sunday in the LEP churches on either Zoom, Facebook or YouTube, plus a pre-recorded service from Walton and Night Prayers in the evening from Watling Valley.

You can find the list here.
