Sunday worship is held at Coniston weekly at 11am. All welcome to come along.
Coniston is a small rural village, set in the heart of the Lake District. The resident population of about 800 is greatly increased during the height of the holidays season by visitors seeking the peace and quiet of our fells and lakes, as well as the cultural attractions associated with this area.
Coniston Methodist Church is similarly small with congregations added to by our visitors who always receive a warm welcome; indeed, one couple told us that after 50 years of worshipping in Methodist churches ours was the warmest welcome they had ever received! Part of the welcome comes from our small chapel which, with its surrounding garden, is kept in immaculate condition.
The
churches in Coniston all work well together through Christians
Together in Coniston. Together we jointly employ a children and
youth worker and hope that in the near future this will be extended
to cover the whole breadth of our community. A regular Fair Trade
Coffee morning has been another feature undertaken by all and this
too is to be developed soon by way of caring for Coniston after
Covid. For 2021, Christians Together in Coniston distributed sunflower seeds for
the flowers to brighten up the village and what a difference they made
to our chapel garden!
Joint services with other denominations are held several times a year, particularly at Christmas and Easter and occasions such as our united Remembrance Sunday service in November. We also do joint support for Christian Aid, raising more than £1300 in each of the last two Christian Aid Weeks (even during the pandemic), an average of more than £1.50 per head of population!
