Holiday Club 2011

The Children’s Holiday Club 2011 was Codebreakers. For one week only you had the chance to be an explorer like Indiana Jones. You would have visited Ancient Egypt, solved clues, discovered codes and found life's greatest treasure.

Another Murder will take place on 2 nights & 1 afternoon in 2012.
On the 3, 4 & 5 of February 2012, in the WI Hall in Copmanthorpe.

'Bumped Off'' is the fourth of our popular and well received murder mystery social events, combining entertainment, food, drinks and great fun together for everyone as they try to unmask the murderer(s).

" A true 'village event' that appeals to old and young alike and is a great evening out for the whole family"
(comment by a guest on Friday evening).

A complete sell out for the third year running we are adding an extra matinee performance in 2012!

All proceeds from this event will go to support KOST

Flower Festival

We recently held a flower festival. This had two purposes. One was to celebrate the existence of this specific meeting place for the church family's worship of God on this site in Copmanthorpe. The other was to 'officially' open the renewed premises for community use. Follow the links for photographs of some of the flower arrangements .

Connect - A Fresh Expression of Fellowship

The next meeting will always be shown in the dates for the future section of the church notices which can be viewed by following this link

Connect is taking shape as a Contemporary style time of fellowship aimed at adults, although children and young people are most welcome. You are welcome to attend both the prayer times and to shape the event.

To find out more about Connect and how to be involved, do email Jenny Sharp via this email link Connect@churchsociety.net or use the email christianstogether@copmanthorpemethodist.org.uk christianstogether@copmanthorpemethodist.org.uk or contact Tim Piper from St Giles.

The Light Party 2011

Monday October 31

THE REAL alternative to Hallowe'en.

On Monday 31st October we held our sixth Light Party with professional light show and circus skills workshop. With over 100 children and parents coming through the door this really was the place to be on All Saint's Day Eve

Holiday Club

The Children’s Holiday Club 2010 was held daily from Monday July 26 until Friday July 30 (with some extra events during the weekends before and after).
This event was for all children of primary school age.

We would love to show you pictures from the event which changed the church insides into a fairground and which welcomed over 90 children but in line with our church's policy no pictures of any children will be placed on the web site.

The Open Gardens event on June 19 & 20 2010 was a great community success. More details and information on the event (including pictures of the 2 days [pending]) are available from the Open Gardens section of this web site.

Ruth Perrott has returned from Sierra Leone having been involved with the VAO programme in that country. Find out more about the work of VAO using this link to the Wider World Page and also read the latest newsletter about this latest visit.
