News Stories for all Circuit ChurchesWellspring is 30 Years Old
At the anniversary service, candles were lit for the second Sunday in Advent and Phil outlined some of the early history of Wellspring, covering the coming together of Congleton's two Methodist Churches, Kinsey Street and Mossley. Phil outlined how life had changed over the thirty years by way of technology and that in so many other ways things were very different. He challenged us to still “make way for Jesus” in these present and future times. Wellspring Supports Compassion UK
We agreed to support
We get regular updates and letters from these children, which we share with the congregation. It is sometimes quite overwhelming to see the change in the children over such a short time. A case in point is little Paloma, shown in the picture above as she was when we first started to support her. Hill Top Flower Festival
The flower arrange-ments were wonderful, showing a lot of flair and imagination. We welcomed guests and viewers on Saturday, Sunday and Monday afternoons from all over the area, some travelling quite some miles. After viewing they enjoyed tea, coffee and a wonderful selection of cakes. Key Green Harvest Weekend
To begin Key Green’s Harvest Thanksgiving weekend Biddulph Male Voice Choir delighted a packed audience with their beautiful harmonies. Songs ranged through the African Prayer, The Lord’s Prayer, An American Trilogy, Fields of Athenry and many others. Hill Top Reopens after Dry Rot
We celebrated with Hill Top Methodist Church when they reopened their doors after renovations were completed following an outbreak of dry rot. Months of hard work have taken place and after 4½ months months of being closed, worship and praise were ringing out again, with the door open so that all could hear. |

On Sunday, the 10th of December 2023, Wellspring was delighted to welcome back Dr Phil Botham to lead our nativity service and help us launch our year-long celebrations. Phil preached at the first ever service in our brand-new building on the morning of Sunday 19th December 1993. The official opening was soon afterwards, on Saturday 8th January 1994. 
Back in January 2020 Wellspring decided, as a church, to sponsor six children through Compassion UK, a Christian organisation that provides education and support for vulnerable children in families throughout the world. We decided to choose a boy and a girl from the three continents of Asia, Africa and the Americas. 
The Flower Festival weekend was a fabulous success. The theme of 'Kings and Queens' sparked a lot of interest as our arrangers used not only our own Kings and Queens
