Due to the current Cornonavirus outbreak there will be no services of worship at the Chapel. However the folk who gather there will be praying for the community in their homes and also where possible volunteering to help those in need at this time. In the meantime we will place online resources on this page.
There are a number of online Methodist Worship resources that are now available to access. Some have been gathered and been placed on the Launceston Area Methodist Circuit website p[age and can be found here: http://www.lamc.org.uk
Our friends at Bridge Church in Launceston also have lots of online resources on offer including things for children you and adults.
More resources can also be accessed here - Methodist Church

Prayers for Sunday March 29th, 2020 For the layers of comfort and convenience that surrounded our lives and that we never considered a blessing but always just took for granted, forgive us.
For we who must grieve in isolation and not in community, comfort us.
For we who care for the sick, protect us.
For the ability to turn off the fear-mongering and unhelpful commentary and worst-case scenario click bait, strengthen us.
For the times when we are all out of creative ideas for how to get through this with cooped up kids, inspire us.
For we who are now cutting our own bangs* at home, guide us.
For the grace to allow ourselves and others to just be less productive, shower us.
For the generosity needed from those of us who have more resources, empower us.
From our own selfish inclinations, deliver us.
For just being your children, none of whom have done a global pandemic before, love us.
For the days ahead, accompany us.
God unbound by time, help us to know that you are already present in the future we are fearing.
AMEN.
-Nadia Bolz-Weber
* 'Bangs' as an American term : Bangs are strands or locks of hair that fall over the scalp's front hairline to cover the forehead, usually just above the eyebrows, though can range to various lengths. While most people cut their bangs straight, they may also shape them in an arc, leave them ragged or ruffled, or give them other shapes. Wikipedia
