South Bedfordshire
Methodist Circuit

Faith at the heart of community

We are a Methodist Circuit consisting of eighteen churches in and around Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Luton and the surrounding villages; serving South Bedfordshire with compassion and faith-based values.

Our mission and values

The calling of the South Bedfordshire Methodist Circuit is to respond to the Gospel of God’s love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.

We will use the circuit’s resources to:

- Increase awareness of God’s presence and celebrate God’s love
- Help people to grow and learn as Christians through mutual support and care
- Be a good neighbour to people in need and challenge injustice
- Make more followers of Christ

In all the above we will seek to work ecumenically wherever possible and

use resources with due care for people and planet

The South Bedfordshire Circuit is a registered charity No. 1134222

Talking Point

Spiritual Growth is one of our Circuit priorities, and we would love to see more people talking about faith. It can be difficult but it's by sharing our thoughts and questions, joys and doubts with others that we grow.

To help us get better at this, each week we will be posing a question, a 'talking point', for you to reflect on and hopefully you will be able to share your thoughts and ideas with someone else. This might be someone at home or church or, if you feel brave, someone who isn't from a faith background.

1st November was All Saints Day. Do you have a favourite Saint? St George the slayer of dragons? Or St Francis who had a much kind approach to animals? Or St Kevin - yes, there really is a Saint called Kevin! But these are all historic people. In more modern times we have had people who have led saintly lives, such as Mother Theresa and Desmond Tutu. And then there are those people who just quietly go about living their lives in saintly ways that we never hear about.

So, our question to you this week is: –

Who are todays saints?
