BORDERS
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?

Church Notices for February 2025

Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven, form that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets. Luke 6

Lord, we thank and praise you for all the many blessings in our lives. For food and shelter, for family and friends, for the measure of health we have, and the many comforts we take for granted. Thank you also for your plain speaking; these blessings are not merited by anything we have done, just as the problems of many - of those who hunger, and are homeless, and sick - are also undeserved. So, Lord, in giving our heart felt thanks, we ask that we might be a blessing to those whom the worldly- wise often curse. Amen
