social life & COMMUNITY/OVERSEAS INVOLVEMENT
Gedling Road Methodist Church has a long history of helping those in the local and wider community and overseas. We also have social events which might be to fundraise for a particular cause or to just enjoy time together. These would include shared meals, special coffee mornings and meals out.
In addition to our Sunday Services we like to get together and socialise, such as having faith lunches, going out for a meal together or holding coffee mornings.
Our last lunch in November 2021 was at Mapperley Golf Course and was much enjoyed by all. A further lunch has been arranged for July 2022 and a Games Evening for September 2022.

KNIT & NATTER
Our Knit and Natter group meets each Monday morning from 10.00am until 12noon meeting in the church. We are a varied and happy group and you are welcome to join us. We do our own knitting and crocheting and we also knit blankets & hats, scarves, gloves & jumpers/cardigans for children to be sent overseas with the National Police Aid Convoys. The group also knits tiny hats, jackets and blankets for the Hospital Premature Baby Unit in Nottingham.
From small voluntary monetary donations made by members of the group over the years, they have been able to support numerous charities and church. We have patterns and needles.
You are very welcome to join us to either knit or natter and have a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit.
If anyone has any spare double knitting wool and would be happy to donate it us or, better still, knit as well it will be very welcome
