Connecting Chaplains with the President and Vice President of Conference – Tuesday 14th January 2025

Connecting Chaplains with the President and Vice President of Conference Registration, Tue 14 Jan 2025 at 19:00 | Eventbrite

We’re in challenging times, and yet people still talk of God at work in our broken world. Chaplains are part of God’s mission – living out the love of God in so many different places and discovering hidden treasures as people encounter God. Join us for a celebration of chaplaincy with the president and vice-president of the Methodist Conference as they link their theme of Praise and Protest to the work of chaplaincy.

This event is an opportunity to give thanks for and affirm the work of chaplains through prayer, music and conversation. Hosted by the Methodist Church, the event is open to all and while it is mainly aimed at chaplains, those interested in chaplaincy are welcome to join and affirm chaplains and discover what God is doing through the work of chaplaincy.

Hush The Noise

The Methodist Church 2024 Advent and Christmas Campaign is entitled Hush the Noise.

Watch the short film titled ‘Hey, I’ve been trying to reach you’. The film follows the story of someone struggling with the busyness of life and the noise that this time of year brings.

You can watch it here: You’re invited to Hush the Noise this Christmas – The Methodist Church

Alongside the film, two new contemporary arrangements of the carols Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, have been released as singles across streaming platforms.
