Welcome to Wigan Methodist Circuit
In our group of churches we seek to follow Jesus. We are among the millions of His disciples in the world, and like them, we strive to live out the Christian life. We seek to fulfil the call of Jesus to love God, and love our neighbours, by serving our local communities. We invite you to join us on this journey of spiritual growth and community engagement.
Welcome to Wigan, and welcome to the Wigan Methodist Circuit.
The town and local area of Wigan in the North West of England has a long history of Methodism and it's mission. Currently represented by our eleven Methodist Churches, and the presence of a number of Independent Methodist Churches in the town. Our twelve churches cover north, south, east and west across the town and beyond to its outer edges. Our churches offer a warm welcome to newcomers and long standing members alike. You can find out more about each church and the range of worship and activities using the tab at the top of the page.
May God bless you.
Prayer is a cry in the dark,
a child’s longing for home,
and a hollowed soul’s seeking of fulfilment.
Prayer is a two-fingered salute
to the hopeless cynicism of endless false promises
and a bunting-waving celebration of love in action.
Prayer is a sacred space,
found in the midst of the unholiest of battlegrounds
and in the desolation of loss.
Prayer is a memory
of long lost conversations with wise elders
and an exuberance of youthful anticipation.
Prayer is a shared longing,
a whispered dream
and an open conversation.
Prayer is a revolutionary act
It is hope in despair
And a grace-filled weaving of love’s intent.
May God bless us with the desire to pray, that we might better act, for the sake of all. Amen.
