188 Years of The Stanhill Methodist Church

The last of the old stalwarts Alice Hargreaves, Florrie Broughton, Mary Grimshaw, Marjorie Plummer (a new comer) Fred McMyn at the back.

In 1988 Some of us went on the Circuit Pilgrimage - ‘In the Steps of John Wesley’ from Baxenden to Huncoat along the King’s Highway. A picnic tea eaten before the 6pm service at Huncoat, entitled ‘How Great the Flame’. During the 1990’s: The Bring & Buys in April continued. Pippa Dee Parties, were still popular and also Tupperware Parties and Garage Sales at the Plummers’. All raised money for church funds. There were Scavenger Hunts, Car Treasure Hunts, usually finishing with a BBQ in the church garden. A walking group was formed, supported by young & old.
