Silver Service

You may have read in the Farnham Herald about the Songs of Praise service that we held in October. As many people told us how much they enjoyed it, we are holding a monthly 'Silver Service' for the over 60's. This will be held at 2:30 pm on the third Thursday of the month (dates below) at Farnham Methodist Church, South Street, Farnham.

Please join us to sing some of your favourite hymns and hear a short message from the Bible. The service is followed by a lovely tea and time to chat with friends. No need to book.

 21st January  18th February  18th March
 15th April  20th May  17th June

For more information contact Farnham ASSIST on 717710 or pop into our Over 60s Information Centre at No. 12 Borelli Yard, Farnham.

Our centre is open Monday - Thursday, 10am - 3pm. You're always welcome!

 Earlybird Service

This service normally happens on the first Sunday of each month. It is a short and simple service, with plenty of interaction, aimed especially at children and families, but everyone is welcome to attend. It lasts from 9.30 - 10.00 am.

If you find Sunday morning takes too much of your time, not being finished until nearly lunchtime, why not come to the Earlybird service, which is over at 10.00 am, still leaving plenty of time for sports, family visits, shopping, or whatever other calls are on your time…

The dates for the first half of 2010 are:
Sunday 3 January
Sunday 7 February
Sunday 7 March
Good Friday 2 April
Easter Sunday 4 April (joint service at 10.30)
Sunday 9 May (moved from 2 May, because of an early broadcast service)
Sunday 6 June
Sunday 4 July
