To whom can we turn
when we stumble from the path,
and this world challenges
all that we hold dear?

will we take refuge,
our strong fortress,
the rock upon which we stand,
our faithful God.

The season commences with the Feast of the Epiphany on 6th January each year and ends the day before Lent (which this year means 1st March). Read more

The Revd Chris Morley, who has led worship at Martin Way on a number of occasions, started a venture, called “Take Five”. Each daily thought is a suggestion for how each of us might grow spiritually and come closer to God by reflecting that day on a particular theme. He is inviting people to Take Five minutes each day to join him, either on YouTube or Facebook.
You may or may not know that we also have a Facebook page where you can keep up to date with what else is happening in our church family. It can be accessed by clicking on the small blue Facebook logo wherever it pops up on this site or by visting www.facebook.com/martinwaymethodist or by searching for @martinwaymethodist in a browser or on Facebook itself.
