Methodism was born in joyous
song and it is that joy in Christ which we
share with friends and visitors. At the conclusion of
morning services (10:30), visitors especially are most warmly invited
to join us in our church hall (the Wesley Hall) for tea/coffee and who
knows, some biscuits. See
regulars
for the latest notices detailing weekly variations.
Where are we
Our
church is opposite Holy Trinity Church (
http://www.stratford-upon-avon.org/).
From any of the theatres in
Stratford,
continue down Waterside, away from the town centre.
This runs into Southern lane, at the end of which
you need to
turn left. Carry on until you reach the second entrance to Holy Trinity
and the Methodist Church is opposite this.To locate the church try
using this
street map or
multimap.
Please
be aware that these maps are postcode based (CV37 6BG) and point to the
general area. Places with the same postcode include Hall's
Croft
and Holy Trinty church.
