Northwood Chapel will shortly be celebrating its 150th anniversary with a weekend of special events.
On Saturday July 17th at 7.30pm, Jigsaw Sound choir (a mixed voice choir from Shrewsbury) will be singing for us, followed by a finger buffet. Tickets are £5.
On Sunday July 18th at 2.30pm the speaker at our Anniversary service will be the Rev. Philip Cooke of Brighton, the chairman Rev Bill Huband, and soloist Ben Tyaz. This will be followed by a cream tea and you are very welcome to join us on this special occassion.
Northwood chapel was built in 1860, after Mr W. Williams gave the land. In 1960 due to a growing Sunday School, another room, kitchen and outside toilets were built. The same year a Women Fellowship started and continued until 1999. As recently as 2008 we were connected to the mains water, so we now have an indoor toilet and a small kitchen, and we are now disabled friendly.
Thanks to these alterations we have been able to host a pamper evening for ladies, the Salvation Army, plant sales, concerts, and Tea and Tots. Outside we have a small garden and a seat where anyone is welcome to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. We have a prayer box and welcome prayer requests, and we are always ready for new ideas.
