At the start ofthe year, we welcomed
Aspley and Awsworth
Methodist
Churches as classes of Nuthall
Methodist
church. We are
now one church on three sites. Aspley meet on a Tuesday afternoon
at St Teresa's Catholic Church
Hall in Aspley at 2.30pm and
Awsworth
meet on a Sunday
morning
10.30am at the Youth wing of
the Village Hall in Awsworth.
It has been good to get to know
members
from both churches.
We began the year with a celebration
of Harvest,
worshipping
and
sharing
lunch together.
A memorial
service was led by Rev Andrew
following
the death of
Queen Elizabeth
and a book of condolence was opened.
Remembrance
Sunday was led by Rev Andrew
on Basil Russell
Park followed
by a service at Nuthall.
Our Brigades took a prominent
part in the Parade.
Advent
and Christmas
were very busy occasions with Advent
Meditations,
the Nativity
Play, Carol service, Christmas
Services and
the Journey
to Bethlehem.
A wonderful
uplifting
experience. We also
had a visit from Hempshill
Hall School where we provided a variety

during the

year 202+- Gifts were provided
for the Food Bank through

calendar and Donations

Lunch
Itwas lovely to celebrate
all these occasions without the restrictions
that the pandemic
had put upon us for the last few years.
Lent Bible study groups followed
with everyone
studying
Ephesians.
Once again the Circuit staff provided
us with a booklet ofdaily
meditations
to take us through
Lent and Holy Week.

worship.
Thank-you
to those who set up the Easter Garden. Thank-you
also
for the generous
gift of Easter baskets and Easter eggs.
At Pentecost we were able to share
in the Circuit outdoor service at
Calverton.
We have taken part in two Circuit events at Bestwood Park. The first
gave us an opportunity
to showcase
our church and learn about
what other churches were doing around
the Circuit. We were also
able to share our expertise
with others. The display we produced
is

The Ecochurch have been extremely
busy and we thank them for
their enthusiasm
and for sharing
their knowledge
with us
We have supported
Bulwell and Bestwood Food Bank throughout
the year. We participated
in the Shoebox Appeal at Christmas.
Our
annual
Coffee Morning
was held
in May to raise funds for Christian
Aid. Collecting for JMA has been ongoing
throughout
the year. We
also held an appeal for the Turkey Syrian earthquake.
Tools for
Africa is coordinated
by Doug and Margaret also Jars ofGrace.
We were delighted
to welcome the Hope Choir to one of our
morning
services.
Itwas a very happy joyful occasion.
Throughout
the year it has been wonderful
to celebrate Baptisms
welcoming
many families
into our church.
Sadly we have also lost several members
ofour church who have
died during the year. We miss them
all but give thanks
for their lives
and witness.
In preparation
for the new Connexional
year we were matched
with
the Rev Jason McMahon
Riley in January.
He is a Probationer
who
will be supported
by a team of people from the Circuit.
We look
forward to welcoming
and working
with Jason. As a Probationer
Jason will primarily
be responsible
for Nuthall,
Aspley and
Awsworth.
We will be saying
farewell to Rev Andrew
and his family
in July. He
has had pastoral care of Nuthall
and Awsworth
for the past seven
years and Aspley coming under his care later. What a rollercoaster it
has been. The pandemic
certainly
had a huge impact during that
time but as Rev Andrew has preached
to us all in recent weeks
there is a real sense ofexcitement
and anticipation
here
in Nuthall
about the future and way forward
for our church. He will leave
Nuthall
in a good place. We thank Andrew
for his Christian
witness,
direction,
enthusiasm,
sense of humour,
pastoral care and ministry
here
in Nuthall
both as our minister, as Co-Superintendent
of our
Circuit and as Deputy Chair of District.
We are very fortunate
to have many capable people who volunteer
for a wide variety of roles within
our church. Thank-you
to everyone
who volunteers
in any capacity large or small to make our church a
welcoming
safe place for all. Thank-you
also to those who support
the work ofthe Circuit.
