The weekend of June 10th/11th was a exciting time for all at the Mission, as we welcomed our new Pastor the Rev Ian Fall, his wife Sandra and sons Daniel and Adam. On Saturday we celebrated with a BBQ in the manse garden and a time of praise and worship in the church.
The day was made even more special by the presence a former Minister of the church the Rev John Williams and his wife Dorothy. Other guests from churches within our circuit of the Wesleyan Reform Union also joined us for the day.
"Pillow Talk" meet on Mondays at the Mission from 2:15pm.
Today we have said a sad farewe
ll to our Minister, the Rev Mark Powell. It hardly seems possible that six and a bit years have gone since Rev Mark Powell became the Minister of our church. It is that long, and one look at how his children to confirm that it has been that long. Not that Mark or Jane look any older, of course. Mark feels his time with us is over, that his work is complete and that it is time to move on. As a Church we are gratefully for all that Mark and the family have done and wish them every blessing in there future lives. As a Church we now look forward to a time without a full time Minister, but the work of God through the Church will continue. It will not be until June 2006 that our new Minister the Rev Ian Fall joins us, but as shown on other pages much will be happening over the coming months.
Today we celebrated our Harvest Festival with the Rushden Mission Brass Band playing at the Evening Service. Both Morning and Evening Services were led by our Minister, the Rev Mark Powell. The produce and proceeds from the services were sent to the local homeless shelter. The
church was beautifully decorated but the centre piece was an amazing Harvest Loaf complete with it's own Harvest Mouse.
It's hard to know where to start a page like this, after all the Mission Church has been here for over a hundred years and the building since 1901. Perhaps at some stage a potted history might be a good idea, but for now best to start where we are.
