Spring Line – Celebrating its life and witness
The last Church Council meeting of the members of the Spring Line Methodist church was held at Upton Chapel on 5th February 2013. We decided on the arrangements for the final celebrations of its witness.
Easter Sunday: there will be a final service with communion at 10.30 at Upton Methodist Chapel on March 31st.
The very Final (Circuit*) service is to be held on Sunday 14th April 2013. The main service will be in the Blewbury chapel at 6.00pm, but – for those who wish to – the minister Revd. Richard Bittleston will lead a short closing liturgy at Upton Chapel at 4:45pm and then walk (weather permitting) to Blewbury. Anyone who would like to join him will be most welcome. We will bring something from Upton to the Blewbury service; a symbol of the bond of fellowship that has been shared between the churches.
Please join with us, you will be most welcome.
Although there is real sadness that buildings close, there is joy that Spring Line members will continue to serve God in other churches as they move on, to Milton, Childrey and other local village churches.
Revd. Richard Bittleston
*Circuit is the Methodist name for our group of local churches – Didcot, Wantage and Abingdon, together with the surrounding village churches. Members of these churches will be joining us for the service on April 14th, but we also hope that people from Blewbury and Upton will join us at either chapel.
