Freedom Church (S. Lincs)

Free Methodist Church
Congregation: 7 adults (4 under 18)

WHO WE ARE:
We are a church plant belonging to the Free Methodist Church in UK & Ireland (FMUK&I) based in Sutton St Edmund. We are a friendly group of people, all currently living in Sutton St Edmund, who together are discovering meaning to life through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

We meet on a Sunday morning in Sutton St Edmund Village Hall, Broadgate, Sutton St Edmund, PE12 0LR. We begin with a pre-worship prayer gathering held between 9.15 and 9.45am, followed by a time of social gathering with refreshment from 9.45am with Freedom Worship beginning at 10.30am.

Freedom Kids (5-12s) meets monthly on a Friday afternoon at 4.30pm at 273, Broadgate, Sutton St Edmund, PE12 0LR and lasts approximately an hour. October date - to be confirmed. Watch this space!

Although currently small in number we make up for it in warmth, welcome and a desire to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and to deepen discipleship in already committed Christians.

Our worship includes both traditional and contemporary hymns and songs and our Freedom Kids join us for family worship at times of Christian festivals and other specific dates as planned.

We regularly run the Alpha Course - a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment.

Outreach, Activities & Ministries

Local Outreach & Community Activities
We are very much part of our village community with most of those who belong to our church being part of other village activities including the Coffee AM in Sutton St Edmund Village Hall on a Wednesday morning and a number are members of the Village Hall Committee.

We pray regularly for the community and prayer walk the village on a monthly basis. We participate annually in Thy Kingdom Come and in the National Prayer days run by Free Methodist Church in UK & Ireland. We believe in the necessity of prayer to undergird all we do.

At Easter-time we make a village-wide distribution of a palm cross to every home together with Easter Greetings and invitation to Easter events. This year we held a hot cross bun and coffee am on Good Friday with a focus on the significance of the death of Jesus and on Easter Sunday morning we dressed the cross as well as our regular morning worship affirming the joy of Jesus' resurrection.

Later in the year on Remembrance Sunday we will participate in the service at Sutton St Edmund War Memorial; organise Operation Christmas Child encouraging the local community to fill shoeboxes with Christmas gifts for children in less fortunate parts of the world and have a stall at the Christmas Fair. A further distribution of greetings and invitation to events is made nearer Christmas.
