Fair Trade
at Ben Rhidding Methodist Church
In order to show our solidarity with the Fair Trade Movement that ensures workers are paid a fair wage and have good working conditions, we serve Fairtrade tea dn coffee at all our church organised events. This includes at our Friday soup lunches and after Sunday services.
On the second Sunday of each month, there is a Fairtrade stall after the morning service. There is a range of fairly traded products from Traidcraft available. This includes cleaning products, dried fruits, rice, coffee, tea and sugar as well as a good selection of chocolate and sweets.
A small number of gifts and seasonal items, including beautiful embroidered cards suitable for any occasion, can also be bought. In addition there is a selection of products from Zaytoun, including olive oil and dates.
From The Source provides hats, gloves and brightly coloured bags, depending on availability.
Orders can be placed for any products that are in the Traidcraft catalogue.

Sunday Worship
Everyone is welcome to share in worship with us here at Ben Rhydding, including our services of Holy Communion and we trust you will find a warm welcome from the moment you walk in. We believe that worship is an opportunity to experience the presence of God through the many
different aspects of worship and by being with others who want to share in that experience. Our services are usually led by our minister, Shannon; a lay person who is a Local Preacher; or a retired minister. On this page you will find details of who is leading the service and when they take place, with dates being planned every 3 months. Refreshments are served after each morning service, where again you are most welcome. If you would like to know more about worship, or any special services we hold please contact our minister Shannon for more information. Her details are on the contact us... page.
​
All services are at 10.30 unless otherwise stated.
