Ninfield Methodist Church, East Sussex
Ninfield Methodist Church, Church Lane,
Ninfield, Battle, East Sussex TN33 9JN.
The church building was erected during 1870 and 1871 as a Christian Mission and dedicated by William Booth in 1871. William Booth is better known as General Booth of the Salvation Army, which he later founded. His wife, Catherine, laid the foundation stone on Thursday, July 6th, 1871.
The church became a United Methodist Chapel in 1907 and on the occasion of the Methodist Union in 1932 three branches of the Methodist Church, the Wesleyan, the Primitive and the United joined to become one church denomination.
In 1958 the Church was extensively renovated. In 1979 a hall and kitchen were added and this was fully modernised in 2013. The hall is now a popular venue for many church and village activities. |
News from Ninfield
October 2023
We look forward to the 1st Ninfield Scout Group joining us for our Harvest Festival Parade Service on October 8th 2023 at 10.30am. This is always a special time with many young people and a time when we give thanks to God for our world and all that we share. You are all welcome. We are especially pleased that the Reverend Malcolm Peach will lead our celebrations. Light refreshments will be available after the service in our Hall.
At the end of September our Messy Church focussed on the theme of 'Caring and Sharing' using the parable of the '5 loaves and 2 fish.' The young people made Picnic Baskets, Paper Prayer Loaves, Fruit Kebabs, discussed their Favourite Foods and produced Harvest Festival displays. A great time was enjoyed by all.
Anyone is also welcome to our Church Away Day which will be on Saturday 14th October 2023 when we will focus on any new ideas for our Church over the future months and enjoy a social time together. (Our September date for this event was postponed). The Emmanuel Centre in Battle is booked from 10.00 am - 1.00 pm. A children's play area will be organised so that all ages are included on the day. The Reverend Jonathan Todd will facilitate our time together. Do let us know if you would like to come.
