Called to serve God by increasing awareness of His presence and declaring His love

mwib-logoMethodist Women in Britain

Bringing women together to know Christ and to make him known. Encouraging, equipping and enabling women to serve God in the church, the Community and the world. Connecting women in Britain with women world-wide.

At the moment we have one active Network (MWiB) Group in the Church.

Afternoon Network meets in the schoolroom at 2.30pm on Tuesday afternoons, fortnightly, from September to May, with a varied programme of Speakers and fellowship afternoons. During these sessions we have different topics to think about and enjoy and, as expected, each meeting ends with a cup of tea!! Members are encouraged to take part. Two or three times during the year we meet with the Mothers Union.

For more Details please see church notice boards or weekly notices.

DARLINGTON DISTRICT PROJECT 2021/22 – DKMS

DKMS is a blood cancer charity which finds matching donors for patients in need of a stem cell donation. Each registration they can get from the public costs £40, which is made up of £5 for each swob kit & the remainder for the testing & tissue typing at DKMS labs. Any money we can raise will go towards the processing costs of the kits – & potentially save hundreds of lives!

Methodist Women in Britain is a movement within the Methodist Church, led by a group of volunteers and funded by donations, which aims to connect women with an interest in creative spirituality and a passion for global social justice. We hold day conferences and residential events, produce printed and online resources and engage in social justice campaigns. MWiB is about more than Methodism, more than women and more than Britain — we have strong links with the World Church, and are part of the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women.
