A Message from the Minister
Singing is good for your health
While we are ‘staying at home’ many people are finding new ways of communicating messages of hope with others, one notable way they are doing this is through song and sharing video clips on YouTube.
Singing is particularly important for us as Methodists as we were ‘Born in Song’ and still continue today ‘Singing the Faith’.
Yesterday I listened to two doctors from Minnesota singing John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’, they believe music has a place to play in healing. On the video clip Dr William Robinson said “Music is one of the dominant players in the art of medicine. It kind of brings about a certain level of healing that’s really hard to do with any sort of pill or surgery or anything like that.”
Today I listened to a father and daughter singing ‘The Prayer’, from their own home. It touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. When we sing, or listen to, songs of faith the words and music can reach even deeper into our hearts bringing healing and wholeness.
The song ‘The Prayer’ includes the following words;
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
I pray we’ll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When the stars go out each night
Remind us where you are.
Let this be our prayer.

A Prayer for all from The Revd Barbara Glasson, President of the Methodist Conference
Loving God,
If we are ill, strengthen us.
If we are tired, fortify our spirits.
If we are anxious, help us to consider the lilies of the field and the birds of the air.
Help us not to stockpile treasures from supermarkets in the barns of our larders.
Don’t let fear cause us to overlook the needs of others more vulnerable than ourselves.
Fix our eyes on your story and our hearts on your grace.
Help us always to hold fast to the good,
See the good in others,
And remember there is just one world, one hope,
One everlasting love, with baskets of bread for everyone.
In Jesus we make our prayer,
The one who suffered, died and was raised to new life,
In whom we trust these days and all days,
Amen.
A WARM WELCOME TO YOU FROM MICKLEOVER METHODIST CHURCH
We are located in the suburbs of Derby, England and hope that you will join us in fellowship either physically or through this website.
Our Mission is to develop a church family which is continually growing
in Christian faith, worship and outreach so that all may know
the love of God through Christ.
We are a lively church, maintaining a strong relationship with the community of Mickleover from this site for the last 100 years. In the year 2000 we rebuilt our premises to provide a versatile and pleasant venue for church and community activities.
We have an extensive programme of activity for children and families, from newborn babies to teenagers, including an OFSTED recognised Preschool and Girl’s Brigade, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
For older people, we have many alternatives of spiritual, social and informative activities to meet most needs. We are also actively involved in the Mickleover Live at Home Scheme supporting housebound people in Mickleover.
Our services are mainly traditional with growing opportunities for alternative worship. More details of our church organisation and activities can be found in a brochure that can be downloaded here
