Milton Keynes Methodist Circuit
Methodist and Joint Churches in and around Milton Keynes
Back in October a recording took place of the Zimbabwe Congregation worshipping at Freeman Methodist Church in Bletchley. It is available on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002kf8y?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
It’s official – Freeman Methodist Church in Bletchley is an Eco Church!
We’re delighted to announce that Freeman has achieved the prestigious Eco Church Bronze Award. And it’s only happened because the people at Freeman are serious about caring for nature and respecting God’s creation.
In December, Freeman will have an Energy Audit, a detailed assessment of ways in which they can reduce their carbon footprint.
Well done Freeman! Keep working to become a greener church and Milton Keynes an even greener City.
The new recording of the hymn ‘Let us build a house where love can dwell’, known to many as ‘All are welcome’ was launched at the end of September. More than 140 Methodist churches contributed their voices to the project, creating a song of reassurance, friendship and understanding.
In a sermon given at Manchester Central Hall after it was recently named a place of sanctuary, the Revd Richard Andrew, President of the Methodist Conference, speaks into some of the issues that inspired this recording. Find the sermon here.

A look back at the highlights of the Methodist Conference 2025, which was held in Telford 26 June – 2 July.
The Conference is the governing body of the Methodist Church and meets annually to discuss matters affecting the life of the Church, the nation and the world.
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.
