World Federation Day Saturday 19th October 2024
You Put Your Whole Self In
at Stamford Methodist Church, 11 Barn Hill, Stamford, Lincs PE9 2AE from 10am to 4pm
Come and share a day of thinking about what it means to belong to a world-wide community of faith. We will gather in Stamford for our once-a year celebration, as part of the World Federation of Methodist & Uniting Church Women.
The theme for the day is ‘Embodied Worship’, reflecting on Paul’s words in Romans 12, that we bring our whole selves to our life of faith. We will be led by Dr Nancy Day – a Kenyan musician and British worship leader. Nancy brings together her African heritage, British experience and spiritual depth – so we can expect a day of deep thinking and joyous celebration!
And, of course, there will be the chance to meet and share with other Methodist Women from across the country, renewing old friendships and making new ones. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Please note three things:
EATING: On a Saturday, Stamford Methodist Church hosts ‘Second Helpings’, which provides a meal from ‘rescued food’ from supermarkets and other suppliers. (The local equivalent of Food Cycle). This is a fabulous green initiative. They have offered to host a meal for us on our World Fed Day, but we have to let them know numbers. The alternative choice is to bring a packed lunch. Second Helpings try to accommodate dietary requirements but they are working mainly with whatever food is given to them… Paying for the meal is on a pay-as-you-feel basis.
PAYING: The cost of the day is £10. For ease of payment, we request that you bring this with you to be collected on the day.
BOOKING: please reserve your place by emailing mwibworldfed@gmail.com telling us:
- How many places you want
- Whether you want to join the Second Helpings meal
- If you have any dietary needs.
