We realise that the Coronavirus restrictions put a lot of pressure on families and, as well as continuing with our on-line worship, please remember that if you need to talk to someone, if you would like to have prayer said for you or you want to ask for prayer for another person just get in touch using our email address.

 

There is a regular format to each month's worship as follows:

1st Sunday of the month will be All Age with some practical ideas for the younger participants. This will start at 3.30pm - the usual time for New Song Kids when we meet.

2nd Sunday will be a testimony service

3rd (and 5th) Sunday will be on various themes including Christian music-makers

4th Sunday will be NewSongCafé@Home

 

Apart from the 1st Sunday all others will start at 7pm

For full information each week go to 'New Song Network' FB page and click on 'Events' or see further down this column.

​

SONG LINKS: A new page with links to all the songs we sing from the beginning of September 2020 has been set up here. Don't worry though the previous 2 pages where you can find old favourites are still online here and here.

Links are also on our YouTube channel however this is not being updated at the moment as I am unable to log in and am a little bit perplexed as to how to progress with the issue :(

 

 

FINANCES: Like all organisations at the moment New Song is struggling regarding finances. Here's one way you can help .... and perhaps buy yourself that new journaling Bible!

​

"Buying a new Bible for yourself or someone else? Want some help with understanding the Bible or want to start journaling? Do you need some dyslexia-friendly resources?

These and many more books and related items can be bought from the Bible Society."

NSN is part of their More Than A Book programme so when you order quote church number 12211 (or select NSN from the drop-down menu) as you go through checkout and NSN will benefit.

​

​​WORSHIP

 

On Sunday evenings we have New Song @ Home.

Go to the Events section of the New Song Network Warrington Facebook page and click on the date of the worship or event you want to be part of. Then be sure you are on the Discussion tab.

Please note that this isn't a live feed, so you are looking for posts not one video link. Feedback has also suggested that you need to refresh after each link has been put up, so that you get the next post.
Comments will help us to build the fellowship together.
Join us in this 'different' way of worshipping!

​

The worship sessions are being put together by different people and groups. All the songs are listed as usual here and you will find that there are many new songs as well as some old (in some cases very old!) favourites. There have been some real insights into people's faith journeys and you are all welcome to engage with our worship.

​

​Rev Linda Bishop has set up Warrington Methodist Worship  group on FB and will be offering daily reflections, music, prayer, links and comments.

In addition there will be live Sunday worship at 11am.  

You are very welcome to post to the group.

 

​

 

PRAYER

The prayer chain is in regular use and Jayne sends out an email at the beginning of each week so please send  prayer requests and any other queries to newsonginfowarr@gmail.com

 

 

KIDS

Resources for children will be sent out regularly to families who currently attend NSK and will continue for as long as it takes. These connect up with the 1st Sunday worships.

If anyone else would like copies of these please make contact through the email address.

​

 

OTHER EVENTS

Other events are occasionally planned and will appear on the FB page. All are welcome to join in.

 

SUPPORT
Following the closure of buildings where worship takes place we have been looking at different ways we can keep in touch to ensure we continue to grow in our faith and in our fellowship.  

 

We don’t want anyone to feel alone or abandoned and Rev Linda Bishop and the Leadership Team will continue to support our members and community as best we can remotely. Please do let us know if you need any help – we have received many offers of assistance from those who are able to do shopping, give you a phone call if you are self-isolating or feeling isolated or do any errands.  We have even had the offer of a Ukulele tutorial DVD and a spare Ukulele to practice on!

​

The New Song Facebook page and group and this website will continue to provide up-to-date information.

​

A prayer to help us during this challenging time:

Loving Father, be with us now as we start to feel the impact of things closing, particularly our opportunities to worship together and share fellowship with friends.

Help us to see this as a new opportunity, a real gift of time and a chance to be mindful and live ‘in the moment’, enjoying each day as it dawns with the sound of birdsong, new spring flowers and at the end of March, increased daylight hours.  Help us to replenish our energy levels and feel refreshed in your love as we press the pause button and listen to your calling rather than rushing from one task to another.  We pray for those who may feel isolated and alone; guide us Loving Father to be able to discern where there is a need and how to meet that need as we learn new ways of outreach and being a Christian in a different way. Lord in your mercy hear our prayer.

 

With every blessing, Rev Linda Bishop and the New Song Leadership Team.

We are from a variety of backgrounds and are accountable to, and part of, the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
