12th October 2014
We welcome all our visitors to worship today. If this is your first time please make yourself known
to one of our Stewards who are wearing Steward badges. If you do not have a home church, why
not make Levenshulme Methodist Church your own? Please pick up a visitor welcome leaflet near
the entrance. We serve tea and coffee after the service and invite you to stay and meet other
members of the congregation.
Bibles, for use during the service, can be found in the swivel stand as you enter the Church. Please
feel free to take one as you enter and return it after the service. Thank you.
The use of mobile phones disturbs members of the congregation and interferes with the
amplification system. If you have a mobile phone please SWITCH IT OFF and keep it switched
off during the whole of the service. Thank you.

150th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS
In May next year we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the building and opening of
this Church. Plans for the occasion are in hand. You can help.
In order to provide a focus on the event, members of the celebration steering team have
suggested that a logo be designed.
Members of the congregation are invited to submit a design or designs for consideration.
The design criteria are that the logo
* must be Christian in nature;
* must recognise 150 years;
* must be associated with Levenshulme Methodist Church;
* must be simple.
It is planned to use the logo on cups, pens, leaflets, presentations and any other appropriate
materials associated with the anniversary.
Because we need to prepare materials we have to choose the successful design before
Christmas 2014. All designs should be submitted on A4 paper and handed to one of the
Church Stewards before 1st December 2014.
As part of the celebrations there will be a slide show and a display of the history, life of the
Church and of Levenshulme too. Whilst we do have some old photographs we need more! If
you have any photographs, documents or material relating to the Church would you please see
Jim Jackson.
The Traidcraft Autumn catalogue is now available from Janet Hignett
