METHODIST CHURCH BRAMPTON                                                                                                 in the

    NORTH CUMBRIA METHODIST                              CIRCUIT

Welcome to the web site of Borders Methodist Church, in Brampton.

 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 are also part of the wider Cumbria Methodist Circuit that covers the whole county. The new Cumbria Circuit was formed in September 2025.

We work closely with the other churches in our town and local area through Churches Together in Brampton,  and our local Three Rivers 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?  

Minister: Rev. Tokunbo Asogbon              Tel: 016977 2452

“You have heard that it is said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

                                         Matthew 5. 43 - 48

Thank you to all who give to the Church in any way, and particularly to those who have set up Standing Orders for their regular giving. If you are a UK taxpayer and would like us to claim Gift Aid this is the best way to make your contribution,  please talk to Linda about doing this. Remember Gift Aid gives us an additional 25% on every donation.

Almighty and eternal God, source of all goodness, truth and light, we confess that we so easily forget the sacrifices of others that have meant a more stable, safe and comfortable life for us. We so easily forget the sacrifice of Jesus for each of us. We so  easily forget the sacrifices made for us in war after war. Almighty and eternal God, we confess our forgetfulness, our neglect of others and our misuse of the life that others gave so much for. We seek your forgiveness, guidance and love.   Amen

If you have any excess fruit suitable for jam making, please leave in the kitchen for Linda or leave a note and  place it in the freezer.

We thank you, Lord, for seeking us when we lose our way.

We praise you for restoring us when we feel ashamed and worthless.

Your love lets us know that we are enough.

We raise our praises to the One who embraces and enfolds us in welcome, who reminds us of our worth

and restores us to a proper sense of ourselves, who we are and how we should live.     Amen
