METHODIST CHURCH BRAMPTON in the
NORTH CUMBRIA METHODIST CIRCUIT
Welcome to the web site of Borders Methodist Church, in Brampton, in the North Cumbria Methodist Circuit. The North Cumbria Circuit was formed in 2014 by the merger of the Brampton Methodist Circuit and the Carlisle Methodist Circuit. We are a community based church located in the centre of the market town. Our aim is to show God’s love for all - in our church life, our worship and witness. We work closely with the other churches in our town and local area through Brampton Churches and our local Mission Community. The Green Door Centre (opposite the church) is an ecumenical youth project working across all areas in Brampton.We are a family friendly church, dementia aware and with disabled access throughout. If you are new to the area, on holiday, wanting to return to church or with questions why not join us?

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord;you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him , “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes Lord;you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him “Tend my sheep.” He said it to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him , “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”

Our journey with Christ begins afresh each day. Each day we discover again his love for us. Each day we are given new tasks to undertake in his service. Each day we are given fresh challenges to be faithful to his word. Each day we are given more opportunities to witness to his love. Each day we are given a new path to tread. As we continue our daily pilgrimage may we not forget that God is with us in joy and sorrow, that our discipleship is not without hope but leads us to the kingdom that Christ himself proclaimed and where he reigns as Lord and King.
Amen
