Welcome to Kinver Methodist Church. We are a welcoming community with Jesus at the centre. We aim to worship Him together and draw others to love and follow Him.
Kinver is a large village in South Staffordshire, bordered by Shropshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands conurbation. Over 7,000 people live in the village which is famous for the Holy Austin Rock Houses and Kinver Edge, both of which are owned by The National Trust.
The Church itself is located at the Potters Cross end of Kinver Village, within easy walking distance of the High Street and Kinver Edge.

Charitable Giving
During May we will be supporting the work of Christian Aid and in particular this year’s Christian Aid Appeal: Hold hope in your hands.
For 80 years, Christian Aid has been working in some of the world’s poorest places to help some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Working with local partner organisations, Christian Aid helps fund vital tools and training, enabling people (often farmers), to support their communities to escape hunger.
This year, the Christian Aid Week Appeal will be raising funds to support farming projects in the Central American country of Guatemala where gruelling heatwaves and extreme weather are destroying farms and severely reducing harvests.
The roots of this cruel injustice run deep. Indigenous communities have done the least to cause the climate crisis, yet they endure its impact the most. But the unstoppable power of hope is in the hands of farmers like Aurelia (whose story is told during Christian Aid Week), as she leads her community in the fight to overcome the challenges they face and every donation (however small) could make a huge difference.
£6 could buy the pruning saw enabling farmers to attend to their fruit trees;
£30 could help fund training sessions teaching farmers how to make valuable organic fertiliser;
£110 could provide a water recycling system which captures precious rainwater to sustain a family’s crops through a drought.
During May, we will be supporting the work of Christian Aid in Guatemala. There will be envelopes in church which you can use to make donations, or you can donate at any time via the Christian Aid website: www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/key-appeals/christian-aid-week.
Andrew and Ruth will also be holding the annual Christian Aid Coffee Morning at Springfield, Blakeshall DY11 5XR on Friday, 16th May from 10am-12noon to raise funds for this vital work. For more information, please e mail pottercrosschurch@gmail.com
To hear more about the work of Christian Aid please come along to our service on Sunday, 11th May at 10am when we will be using resources provided by Christian Aid to think seriously about how we can help our neighbours in Guatemala.
Donations are co-ordinated by Ruth Stilton.
