Get Talking
During our session, the group shares thoughts and opinions on a few pre agreed subjects, Everyone contributes and the group takes time to listen to the individual stories. Everyone has a story to tell and we love listening to the shared memories.
Laughter and Discovery
There is a lot of laughter and discovery in a Table Talk session. At one get together we discovered that most of the people had had diphtheria as a child, with varying treatments! Some had had tonsillectomies and with their parents promptly caught the bus home! We learned that N had met his wife at a youth club dance many, many years ago but still remembered the dress she wore had a square neck and puff sleeves! We thought that looking down from heaven, she was probably very proud of him!
Come and Join In
Our Table Talk starts at 1:30pm on the last Thursday of the Month - except July, August and December.
Look out for the reminders in the Church Notices.

New Kitchen
First our lovely new kitchen is complete apart from the decoration. Thanks to Kay, to our benefactor, and everyone who worked to make this happen, as well as cleaning and tidying after the builders. The fridge went via Nunthorpe Free-cycle to a good home on Ormesby Bank. There are ground level heaters too in the kitchen so now, hopefully, people won’t be cold working there in darkest winter.
Commission of new town centre mission project & welcome Revd Charity back
On Sunday October 13th (changed) at 6.00pm at Linthorpe Road Resource Centre: You’re all warmly invited to join a special circuit service to commission the new town centre mission project & welcome Revd Charity back to active ministry in the circuit.
It’s an opportunity to celebrate together this new opportunity for the circuit to develop its mission & ministry in the town centre of Middlesbrough; to pray for those involved in the work; to find out more about what will be happening; to explore whether there’s something there which you might want to get involved in; to worship together and to share fellowship and refreshments.
Charity writes: “I am really excited to be coming back to active ministry in the circuit albeit as a phased return to begin with; I am looking forward to being part of the circuit’s mission in the town. Thank you for praying for me and caring for me during my time of ill health; I can’t wait to see you all again and spend time with you. God’s story is being lived in Middlesbrough and we are part of that story, so if you’re free on the 8th September at 6pm please come and pray for me and join us as we begin writing this chapter of God’s story of hope.” Revd Charity
Remember this Sunday 15 September the service is at Marton, starting at 10.15, a service led by Rev Richard Andrew. The last hymn will be: And can it be! There is no service at Nunthorpe. Please pass this reminder on to any friends without email, who might forget and turn up at our church by mistake..

Doesn't the lawn outside the church look really good, now that the ageing tree, sadly, has had to go? So much sunshine and light was being blocked, it seems. Watch this space!. Resurgam ..... in another form, maybe?
Blessings

PS: The Latin phrase for "I shall arise" is resurgam. The verb resurgere means "to rise or appear again". Resurgam is often used to proclaim Christian faith in the resurrection of the dead.
About Nunthorpe Methodist Church
A Typical Sunday Service
A typical service lasts roughly for an hour. 11am until Noon
When you walk into our buildings you will be greeted by a member of the congregation.
You may sit in any seat. There is a toddler-friendly seating section at the back. We have an excellent sound system with loop-hearing. Service books and Hymn books are in the pews ready for you. We usually sing around 4-5 hymns accompanied by organ, piano and band. Sometimes there is a song from the Singing Group. We hear bible readings, say prayers and listen to the message from the preacher. After the service coffee is served. All are welcome.
The First Chapel - Rookwood Road
In the first few years of the 20th century, the Methodist's Sunday services were held in several of the local houses until 1911, when the Congregationalists built the Church in Rookwood Road. The foundation stone laid by A.J. Dorman Esq. J.P bears the date of August 2nd 1911. The Methodists decided to join them in worship and therefore have had a presence in the Rookwood Road Church since its foundation 92 years ago. In 1936, a decision was made that the Methodist Church should purchase the Rookwood Road premises and the first services as a Methodist Church were conducted on Sunday December 6th 1936 and so began a new era for Methodism in Nunthorpe
