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?

Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of the wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday. Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him, do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret - it leads only to evil. For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

 Psalms 37. 1 - 9

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.

O God, open our eyes that we may see the needs of others, open our ears so we can hear their cries, open our hearts so that we may not be without compassion.

Let us not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong, nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.

Show us where love and hope and faith are needed, and use us to bring them to these places, through Jesus Christ our Lord.       Amen.

This event raised over £500 for the Hospice at Home. Thank you to all who supported us on the day in spite of the foul weather.

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
