Rosebery Road Methodist Church

Did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for Rosebery Road Methodist Church with easyfundraising?   There are over 8,000 retailers on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, John Lewis & Partners, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.

All you need to do is: 

1. Go to https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/rosebery-road-methodist-church/ and join for free. 

2. Download the extension from the website, and a pop-up will appear when you start shopping with a participating retailer, to ask if you would like a donation. Please note, Amazon does not use the pop-up, so you’ll need to go in via the easyfundraising website. You also need to accept cookies on the retailers’ sites, or the donation might not be applied.

3. Alternatively, every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.

4. After you’ve checked out, the retailer will make a donation to Rosebery Road Methodist Church at no extra cost to you whatsoever! There are no catches or hidden charges and Rosebery Road Methodist Church will be really grateful for your donations. Thank you for your support.

Our annual Church Party will be held from 3.00pm to 6.00pm on Saturday 14th February. It will be a time of fellowship, with table games, conversation, and a bring-and-share tea.

You are encouraged to read the passages in your choice of version, so that all can join in the discussion.

The passage for discussion at the session at 2.30pm on Wednesday 13th January will be Mark chapter 13 verses 1 to 31. If you would like to come to the meeting you are encouraged to read this in your choice of Bible version beforehand, so that everyone can join in the discussion.

We look forward to welcoming the Year 3 classes from Angel Road School on Monday 8th December, when they will be coming to hear the Christmas story and look at the Cribs and Trees displays.
