A Celebration

A Service of Celebration was held on Sunday 10th March 2019 led by Rev Jo Smart as five new members were welcomed and received into the church membership.

These were Barbara Wadland, who was also confirmed, Tony & Margaret Stephens, Thelma Dowler and Linda Salt, all of whom made their commitment to God at this special service and were supported by friends and family in the congregation.

Mrs Valerie Hosking read the lesson and the service was concluded with the Act of Holy Communion. The hymns chosen by the new members were accompanied by Gordon Maunder on the keyboard, as the organ is out of action at the moment due to a complete major overhaul.

Tea, coffee and biscuits were served before the service.

 

Farewell Tony and Wendy

 

South Petherwin Church recently said goodbye to Tony and Wendy Smith who have been an integral part of the chapel and will be greatly missed.  

 

 

 

Remembrance Sunday 2018

The Remembrance Day service held on Sunday 11th November commenced with a gathering at the war memorial at 10.45 am where the names of the fallen were read, a wreath was laid and the 2 minutes silence was observed at 11.am The service then continued at South Petherwin Methodist Chapel where it was conducted by Dr Brian Davis from St.Paternus Anglican Church.

The children from South Petherwin Primary School had been busy making poppies for this service, and handmade by each of the 110 children, created a stunning display cascading down in front of the stained glass windows at the front of the chapel.

A collection was taken for the Poppy Appeal and refreshments were served in the Sunday school room afterwards.

 

 

 

 

 

Easter at South Petherwin

'Tea & Toast' Events at South Petherwin


The period leading up to the Centenary celebrations in the community has proved very topical at the tea and Toast club. The scarecrow festivities has created an excitement and the John Wesley entrant caused great interest with both Mums and children. A great atmosphere felt within the club.

Combined Service
On the 27th of May the Chapel gave a reciprocal very warm welcome to the congregation of St. Paternus Church as we united in praise and worship at our cafe style service held in the Sunday School room . The theme of the service was very applicable as it reflected acknowledgement of the centenary celebrations of W.W.1 , the Suffragette movement and the formation of the R.A.F. Within our community.

“South Petherwin celebrate’s its 1st Anniversary of TEA & TOAST”
