Sherburn-in-Elmet Methodist Church

Sherburn Methodist Church is located on Church View, Sherburn behind Tesco. Our weekly church service starts at 10.45am each Sunday, followed by refreshments.

The Church is friendly and outgoing and is at the heart of the community. In term time, “Tots and You” welcomes babies and toddlers with their parents on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9.30 – 11.00 am and everyone is invited to drop in for a cuppa at our weekly coffee morning from 10.00am-12.00pm on Saturdays. There is also a fellowship group which meets most Mondays in members’ homes. We run a “Messy Church” on the second Sunday of the month at 3pm for all the family, which includes informal worship followed by crafts and activities, and ends with a meal together.

We hold regular fund-raising events to which everyone is welcome, recently including a strawberry tea , a beetle drive and a MacMillan coffee morning, and we also organise occasional short Holiday Clubs for primary aged children in school holidays.

The building is used regularly by local groups. At present it is used weekly by the Community Larder and the SVS Chat-in, and in term time is also used by the Bettany Dance Group and the Brownies.

Portholme Church, Selby

You’ll find a warm welcome at Portholme Church. We will be very pleased to meet you in person! We invite you to join us on Sunday at 10:45am for worship … or pop in on a Monday morning between 10:00am and 12:00noon for a cup of tea or coffee on us. While our roots are in the Christian traditions of centuries past, we aim to be a thoroughly modern church that is also firmly fixed in the 21st century,
So, are we …

… Accessible & Inclusive? Yes! We have worked hard to make Portholme Church accessible to everyone but we recognise that there is still more that needs to be done – we’re working on it! We firmly believe that ALL people are of equal value to God and we want all people to be equally able to participate fully in the life of Portholme Church. That's EVERYONE, no exceptions. We have partnered with Through the Roof's Roofbreakers project. You can find our page on their website here.

… an “Eco” church? Yes! We have qualified for the Bronze Award of the A Roche Eco Church scheme and we’re working towards achieving our goal of “Net Zero Carbon”. We are also trying to encourage others to understand the benefits of caring for the environment.

… a “fair trade” church? Yes! If you take up our offer to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee “on us”, it will be a fair trade “cuppa”. We support the Fairtrade Foundation.

… a church that gives money away? Yes! Our aim is to support a range of local, national and international charities. Portholme Church and members of our congregation give thousands of pounds each year to help other organisations to continue their invaluable work. Here are some examples. Locally, we support Selby & District Foodbank who are working to combat poverty and hunger in our area. Nationally, we donate to The Fund for Human Need who make small cash grants to people throughout the UK who are destitute or vulnerable and where a small amount of money will make a big difference. Internationally, we support and promote the work of All We Can, a charity that “walk alongside local partners to help communities uncover their own solutions and their own potential” in Africa and India.

… a part of the local community? Yes! Portholme Church is the “home” of many local organisations who hire our hall and facilities for their regular meetings. Choirs, societies and charities all hold their meetings and activities at Portholme Church – plus Blood Donors and families holding birthday parties.

… warm & welcoming? Yes! We used to hold a “Coffee Morning” every Monday from 10am to 12noon but now we have changed it to a “Warm Welcome Space” where people can come for a free cuppa and connect with other people. When it’s cold outside and gas bills are soaring, for a couple of hours each week you can join us at Portholme Church where it’s warm and friendly. By the way, many other churches offer a “warm welcome” but in the wintertime, it can be freezing inside, too! Portholme Church’s sanctuary is centrally heated, fully carpeted and we have comfortable seats!

What about hymn books? We ditched the hymn books a decade or so ago! Yes there are some truly great traditional hymns which we still love to sing, but there are also lots of modern worship and praise songs being written today by people who live in the same world as we do. We like to sing a mix of both the old and the new and, as the words will be displayed on our large TV screens, everyone can sing along.
