Crossways Methodist Church

Today saw the Inauguration of Crossways Methodist Church - a coming together of four Methodist churches - Beckminster, Cranmer, Springdale and Wombourne under the Crossways banner. Four churches coming together as one body, joined by Christ, our cornerstone.

Rev Novette Headley, Chair of the West Midlands District of the Methodist Church led the Inauguration Service.

A congregation made up of people from all four churches shared in worship and in fellowship after the service.

The act of merging four vessels of water poured into a single common bowl symbolised the joining together of our churches' lives and ministries.

We are no longer four congregations, but one in Christ. May our gifts, our history and our future be blended by the Spirit.

May the God who makes all things new bless this union.

May the Spirit empower you for love and service.

And may Christ walk before you in all your days.

Amen
