Christmas Day Party invite from Thrum Hall Methodist Church

Thrum Hall Methodist Church

Anyone who will be on their own on Christmas Day is being invited to attend the Thrum Hall Methodist Church Christmas Day Party with a four-course Christmas dinner - free of charge.

Marilyn Jones, one of the organisers, said: “We serve a four-course Christmas dinner at the party and we can also deliver meals to people’s homes too. Last year we catered for 120 people; we had about 40 at the party, delivered another 40 and delivered to a homeless hostel as well.

“We’ll be doing the same this year because it’s just nice for people who would be on their own to have some company by eating and chatting to others in the same situation.

“Guests can be picked up between 12 noon and 12.30pm and taken home again for 3 o'clock.

“If anyone wants to volunteer that would be great, but we really would like more people to attend party itself or if they aren't able to come, at least have a meal delivered by someone who can stay and have a chat.”

"If there is anyone wishing to accept this invitation, volunteer or have a meal delivered my contact number is 07817 150 327 or visit the church web site:

The party has been going over forty years, started by the Thrum Hall youth group who were in their early teens at the time; many of them have been involved with the event ever since and it has very much become part of the church year, with generations of church family members donating time and gifts.
