Here’s a new song from Hillsong United that the band on Sunday morning are planning on singing.
Have a listen and let the words become familiar to you, then you can join straight in on Sunday morning.
The lyrics start quite small, but do get bigger as the song progresses:
IMPORTANT: If you travel to Fulwood Free Methodist Church via Eastway then please take note of the following information.
Lightfoot Lane is currently closed between Eastway and the Lansdown Hill Junction and will be for at least three weeks from 16th August 2017. We’ll let you know when it has reopened.
There are also traffic lights on Eastway itself which is likely to create delays at certain times of day.
The closure is to enable the fitting of a new drain to service the new houses in Wesley Chase.
Fulwood Free Methodist Church is still accessible via Garstang Road (A6) and Lightfoot Lane.
The following map shows the area section that is closed; below the map is a set of pictures of the roadworks as they are today:

1000 Words is Never Enough
When I interview someone for Heart magazine, I’m aware that 1000 words can never do justice to the emotion and the truth they want to express. It takes courage to share your story in black and white, so I doublecheck every detail. It must be right! Despite tough experiences – from earthquakes and war to debt or eating disorders – I’ve met people who are extraordinarily resilient, who react with thankfulness, goodness, forgiveness, and faith. All the stories, courses, photos and adverts in Heart are offered by Christians from Fulwood Free Methodist Church. We warmly welcome you to join us, or use the details on the back cover to contact us for more information.
Making Good Choices
‘Tragedy!’ or ‘Good News!’ Which of these headlines attracts you the most? Many of us are intrigued by death, horror and fear. We can be fascinated by the gory details in other people’s stories. Bob and Helena (p2-3) were brutally attacked, but they’d prefer it if, when you’ve read their article, you remember the goodness they experienced in the aftermath. ‘Goodness’ is what inspired the cover picture of ‘Heart’ – a bucket overflowing with good fruit. Goodness helps us cope with tragedy. Good stories lift our minds and spirits. But where do we find goodness and how do we keep hold of it? We start by making good choices: Truth or lie? Care or ignore? Encourage or criticise? Kind or cruel? Patient or furious? Give or steal? 1 Thessalonians 5 v 21: ‘Test everything; hold fast to what is good.’
Enjoy Heart!

Mornings & Evenings 19th March – Easter 2017
How do we begin to understand the cross of Christ?
What did it mean to Jesus? How did the early Christians understand it and speak about it?
Why did they use some big words to explain it?
In this Lent series we will look at some of the important words and picture use from the Old and New Testaments to understand the cross of Jesus and all it means in history, in our lives and in eternity.
As a church it is our privilege to pray for you and your needs.
It’s also a delight to celebrate with you in your praises too.
We’ve recently updated this site so that you can send in you prayer requests and praises online.
How? Simply go to fulwoodfmc.net/prayer, fill in the form, press send and one of our pastoral team will pray.
LETTERS TO MY YOUNGER SELF
STUDIES IN THE LETTERS OF PETER – MORNINGS UNTIL 5TH MARCH
Peter was in Rome and in his middle 60’s shortly before his death, when he wrote his letters to Christians in what we now know as Turkey – they are his epitaph. Most people of Peter’s age start looking back at their lives, and the lessons they have learned. Peter is no different. The Holy Spirit inspired Peter to look back on his life and pen some of the wisdom he had gleaned from his
earlier experiences, (some of which he may have wished he’d learnt earlier), for the benefit of the church. It’s as relevant today as it was then.
BY INVITATION… – EVENINGS UNTIL 5TH MARCH
The Church is not simply a place of worship. It is God’s People, out there living in a way that encourages ordinary folk to have life-changing meetings with our extraordinary God – finding friendship, faith, forgiveness and purpose. We are all called to play our part in this. In this 8 week series we will be searching out Bible principles to help us and also hearing from real people whose lives have been changed.
