Welcome to our Circuit

Welcome to the Web site of Buxton Methodist Circuit which we hope will tell you a little more about our Circuit, its Churches, activities and people. We hope you enjoy browsing.

About our Circuit.

Our circuit which is in the Manchester & Stockport District has eight Churches located in and around Buxton and the Peak District National Park which is a wonderful place for a holiday or week end break.

We have a variety of worship within the circuit and you can be assured of a warm welcome at each of our Churches.

We have recently added to this site some information on Weddings, Christenings and Funerals. This can be found at the "Special Services" link above.

Our Circuit Superintendent is the Rev Colin Smith who can be seen all over the circuit which is in two counties Derbyshire & Staffordshire. Colin has been in this circuit since September 05 and he has taken to the challenge and opportunities with relish.

He is supported by Roger Mallard our Children & Young People Worker and an active Lay Leadership Team.

In September 09 the team was joined by Deacon Janet Heys and we hope her stay in the area will be long & happy.

The area we live in has some amazing scenery but it also has its share of problems. These include inner town deprivation in parts of the Fairfield area of Buxton and the less recognised but real, rural deprivation in other parts of the Circuit.


The short Sermons written by Colin in 2009 can be found here.


Colin in his last Tuesday sermon before Christmas 2009 talks of
"Beyond human failure"- Isaiah 43.22-44.3 at this link.

PRAYER

We go into the world
to walk in God's light
to rejoice in God's love
and to reflect in God's glory
Amen
