188 Years of The Stanhill Methodist Church

Christmas Dinners were hosted by the Prescotts and the Plummers, (in different years !) One year while everyone was enjoying the meal and fun at John and Doreen’s – the snow came down in buckets full ! What a shock to see the white stuff when the door was opened! It was quite deep but somehow everyone arrived home safely.

Doreen & John Prescott. Doreen & John were really the backbone of the church at Stanhill.

Our young people had the opportunity to join the circuit at the MAYC London Weekends (Methodist Association of Youth Clubs). Young people from all over the Methodist Connexion met up to have fun and fellowship together. In the early 1990’s Safari Suppers were popular. Starter in one home, travelling to the next home for the main meal, and then dessert in another home followed by coffee in another home. To raise money for church funds, Edna continued to organise Dances especially for Valentine’s Day, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and one or two more inbetween!
