LAUNCESTON AREA METHODIST CIRCUIT

responding to the Gospel of god's love in Christ

All Church Services and Social Meetings are currently cancelled due to the Corona Virus Pandemic

Service sheets have been produced by the Methodist Church and will be provided each week on this site.
We are encouraging chapels to use this at the same time as their chapel service would have been on Sunday
so that we feel that we are still worshipping together, although not physically being together.

During the pandemic, Services adapted for no physical congregation will be live streamed from Wesley’s Chapel in London
Service times: Wednesday 12:45; Thursday 12:45 ; Sunday 9:45 and 11:00.

Thank you Pamela

On Sunday 26th May at Polyphant Chapel Mrs Pamela Harris was presented with a certificate to mark her 50 years service of playing the organ for the chapel services.

What a lovely surprise I had during the morning service on May 26th to receive a certificate and bouquet of flowers to mark 50 years of playing the organ at Polyphant Methodist church.  I was encouraged by two organists that have gone on: Mrs Mabel Rowe and Mr Stanley Martyn.  I started playing the children's hymn first and when the organist was not there any more, I just took their place.  I really thank the Lord for giving me good heath.
 
On Songs of Praise, a few years ago, looking at the Junior Choir of the Year, I heard an adjudicator's remarks saying that 'If you have got music in your life then your have got 'treasure', so enjoy it; and nobody can take it away from you'.  So I say 'Thank you for the music, the hymns I've been playing.  Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.  Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?  What would life be?  So I say Thank you for the music, for giving it to me'.  God bless you all.  
Pamela Harris
