Celebrating Jesus on the Wirral
Welcome to the website of the Wirral Methodist Churches. The Wirral is a peninsular separated from Wales by the River Dee and from Liverpool by the River Mersey, and includes some of the most deprived areas in the United Kingdom, as well as some of the most beautiful. We have a mix of rural and urban churches, 22 in all, including three ecumenical partnerships. We are passionate about learning and growing together, celebrating the love of God, sharing the life of God with those around us and with those in need around the world and bringing our neighbours to Christ as we follow our calling and pursue our vision.

Worship
We develop worship in ways which enable people to connect with God wherever they are, in church or at home, and find meaning and encouragement.
Learning and Caring
Service
We reach out to people within our communities who are lonely and isolated and suffering from mental health issues; create places of welcome in our buildings; build local alliances and work towards the alleviation of poverty and deprivation. Our local charity recycles and supplies free school uniforms – read more here.
Evangelism
We work with children, families and schools; teach and equip our members to share their faith, and create opportunities for us all to build relationships within our communities. Read about the work of our children and youth team.
Friday 8 December
Isaiah 29 : 17 – end
God of tenderness and love,
when Your promised time comes,
the lowly will rejoice
and the poor exult in Your name,
for they will be poor no more.
The deaf will be able to hear a book being read
and the darkness of the blind
will also be no more. (v.18)
But it not just need and disadvantage
that will be no more.
Arrogance and ruthlessness,
will also seek to exist. (v.20)
God of tenderness and love,
keep the hope alive within us
of that promised time.
Help us also
each day,
to keep working
for those values
to become part of real time,
here and now. AMEN
Matthew 9 : 27 – 31
Lord Jesus,
the prophets promised a time,
when the bling would see. (Isaiah 29:18)
In You,
that promised time,
has arrived in real time.
In fellowship with You,
we are living in that promised time.
Through this time of Advent and preparation,
restore in us,
the confidence
and the joy of salvation. AMEN ... See MoreSee Less

Isaiah 26 : 1 – 6
“Lord, You keep those of firm purpose,
untroubled,
because of their trust in You.” (v.3)
God, our eternal rock, (v.4)
during this season of Advent,
as we focus on Your ancient promises,
refresh our hearts.
In these times,
when it is so easy to become despondent,
restore in us a renewed trust in You,
and Your eternal plans for Your creation,
so that we can be bright,
full of hope
firm in our purpose
and untroubled. AMEN
Matthew 7 : 21, 24 – 27
Lord Jesus,
You promise that we will build our lives on rock,
not through our glowing faith in You
or our fervent worship,
but through putting into practice,
what You have told us to do.
Keep building in us
a firm purpose
in the way we live each day,
so that despite all the bad news around us,
we remain
untroubled. AMEN ... See MoreSee Less
