We welcome all our visitors to worship today. If this is your first time please make yourself known
to one of our Stewards who are wearing Steward badges. If you do not have a home church, why
not make Levenshulme Methodist Church your own? Please pick up a visitor welcome leaflet near
the entrance. We serve tea and coffee after the service and invite you to stay and meet other
members of the congregation.
Bibles, for use during the service, can be found in the swivel stand as you enter the Church. Please
feel free to take one as you enter and return it after the service. Thank you.
The use of mobile phones disturbs members of the congregation and interferes with the
amplification system. If you have a mobile phone please SWITCH IT OFF and keep it switched
off during the whole of the service. Thank you.

150th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS
In May next year we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the building and opening of
this Church. Plans for the occasion are in hand. You can help.
Recipes and Reflections.
Cheryl Graham has offered to compile a booklet of favourite recipes and reflections
to be published next year to commemorate the 150th Anniversary. Cheryl writes:
I intend to collect as many short reflections of Levenshulme Methodist Church
over the years, and favourite recipes from congregation members, and put them
together in a book for sale to raise funds for our anniversary year. Please keep
your recipes simple and your reflections and memories short and concise, so I
can use as many of them as possible in the one book. Please hand your
contributions to me or a Church Steward, as soon as possible.
Logo
Your ideas for an anniversary logo will be appreciated. The design criteria are that
the logo must be Christian in nature, must recognise 150 years, must be associated
with Levenshulme Methodist Church and must be simple. Please hand your design
ideas on A4 paper to one of the Church Stewards by the end of November.
Photographs
Jim Jackson needs photographs of Levenshulme life and the life of the church for a
slide show and display. If you have any suitable old photographs please see Jim.
