Welcome Letter
22nd Nov 2021
We have all been living through very troubling and difficult times and continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
At Chepstow Methodist Church we seek to be a worshiping community dedicated to serving God and sharing His love with the community. We have a range of services and activities to suit all ages and tastes. At the present time we do not have our own Minister but the Church is continuing to function as a caring community for the people of Chepstow.
Our worship and service is based on and surrounded by Prayer and there are several opportunities to meet together in large and small groups to pray. We also have confidential prayer chains to pray about personal, urgent matters and several ‘home groups’ where we support and pray for individual members.
As well as caring for each other we believe it is important to share our faith with others in practical ways through the food bank, debt counselling, supporting local events and personal hospitality. We support local and national charities and projects in Zambia.
You could sum up our aims as: Chepstow Methodist Church exists to Celebrate the love of God by Worship, Caring for each other, Cultivating personal growth by prayer and reading the Bible and Communicating the Good News of Jesus in words and actions .
May the Lord bless you.

Action for Children Garden Party
1st Sep 2021
Keith & Margaret organised a very pleasant ‘CHURCH AFTERNOON GARDEN TEA PARTY’ on Saturday (21st August) and this was well attended in spite of a VERY WET MORNING preceding it …however, the weather cleared after lunch and we all (about 45 of us) sat down for a nice chat followed by scones, cakes and cups of tea! It stayed dry ALL afternoon!
At the conclusion a BUCKET COLLECTION was taken for ‘ACTION FOR CHILDREN’ and this raised £210!!
Many thanks to Keith and Margaret for their hospitality and for being able to enjoy their lovely garden!
