17. Methodist Church
John Wesley passed through Bromsgrove several times in the course of his travels. Noake records that in 1797 there was a society of nineteen members 'steady but not very lively' including John Bott, a needle maker. A chapel was built in Kidderminster Road in 1832. It was replaced in 1884 by a chapel in New Road. The present church building in Stratford Road opened in 1981-3.
We give thanks for the generations of people in Bromsgrove that have taught of the love and forgiveness that comes from following Jesus.
We give thanks for the people leading and serving in the church today. We know that true leadership comes from pointing people to Jesus and true service is an outpouring of God’s love. We pray for the prayer event being held here on Friday as part of the Global Week of Prayer.
We meditate on your word from Colossians 2: 6-7 (NLT):
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you
must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him,
and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in
the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
Amen
