What's on at Wesley Memorial
Forthcoming services and other events
We meet together for worship at 10.30 a.m. on Sundays. There is also a quieter, more reflective time of worship at 6.30 p.m. on a Sunday evening, often including material from Taizé or Iona. During the week, from 12.30 p.m. to 12.50 p.m. on Wednesdays, there is a short prayer service.
We regularly welcome visiting preachers, including the ministers of neighbouring city churches. A full list of preachers for the coming months is below. Recent services are also included with the service sheet, where available.

Social Events
There are
many social events arranged by different groups throughout the year. At some
point after Christmas there is a party for the whole church, with supper, at
a time when children can come and join in. There are lunch parties to which
we invite friends from other churches in the city centre.
