Silver Service

You may have read in the Farnham Herald about the Songs of Praise service that we held in October 2009. 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.

 19th August  16th September  18th November

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 takes place 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 second half of 2010 are:

Sunday 4 July
Sunday 1 August
Sunday 5 September
Sunday 3 October
Sunday 7 November
Sunday 5 December
