In 2007 we are celebrating the coming together of Woodley Methodist Church and Woodley
United Reformed Church to form Christ Church. It is also the 25th Anniversary of the
new church building opening, replacing what is now the church hall.
Below is the order of service of one of the special services we planned, that for celebration of music and drama.
It was held on Sunday 8th July 2007 and led by our own minister, Revd Dr Mike Hill, and Nancy Quinnell,
one of our members.
Each group taking part had the chance to give a short testimony.
It was also
a Parade Service.
