Easter Offering – Fund for World Mission

The theme of this years’ service, ‘Education for All, Hope for All’, focuses on the right of every person to receive an education.

All the money raised through the Easter Offering goes to the World Mission Fund of the Methodist Church in Great Britain for work in our Partner Churches around the world.

The Dedication service this year will be held at Tisbury Methodist Church on May 18th at 4pm.

In 2024, collections from Easter Offering services raised over £190,000, thanks to the generosity of Methodists. We thank Methodist Women in Britain for enabling this appeal, and you for making a difference by contributing to God’s mission in this way.

Prayers for our sister church,
St John’s, Mtendere, Zambia

Our link congregation – St John’s United Church of Zambia (UCZ) congregation in Mtendere, Lusaka – has five days of prayer and fasting during the first week of each month, helping church people to know the constant need of renewal and self discipline in following Jesus.
Zambia, like a lot of countries, observes Mothers’ Day on the second Sunday of May – 11th May, this year, and in UCZ worship that Sunday there will be a call to all adults to be role models for young people.

Africa Freedom Day on 25th May commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963 and celebrates the liberation of African nations from European rule. Zambia observes it as a public holiday (on Monday 26th, this year). In the UCZ, it is a day for reflecting on the need for the church to change ways of mission as the world changes, hence the UCZ’s motto for this year of Diamond Jubilee: “Changing the Narrative”.

Now the rainy season is over and the cool dry months have begun, there are many more activities out of doors. At St John’s – a young congregation –church weddings happen three or four times each week during the next five months.

In church, throughout May this year Easter is being celebrated, up until Ascension Dayon 29th May. Pray, with our sisters and brothers in the UCZ, that we
shall know the risen Jesus with us in all that we do.

Pray for the minister at St John’s, Rev Mwaka Phiri and for her family, and pray for the deaconess, Majorie Mvula and her family. Pray for the congregation at St
John’s, as they pray for us.
