Bury St. Edmunds (14/3)
"The Circuit's Mission is to live and share the Good News of God's Love in Christ"
The Circuit covers some five hundred square miles of rural mid Suffolk, stretching from Needham Market in the east, taking in Stowmarket as you travel west, across to the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds and then down to Sudbury. Delightful, picturesque villages can be found on the minor roads throughout the area which makes travelling through the countryside a pleasure. Ten churches make up the Circuit, one of which, Christchurch in Needham Market, is a united URC/ Methodist congregation. From large town centre churches to smaller village chapels the Circuit seeks to give expression to our calling as worshipping, serving, outward looking, and caring communities.
The Superintendent Minister of the Circuit is Revd Deborah Borda.
The Circuit has its own website– http://www.burystedmundsmethodistcircuit.org.uk
The Circuit Administrator is Adrian Romano.

Forthcoming Events in Our Circuit:-
Suffolk Historic Churches Trust
SUFFOLK CHURCHES RIDE & STRIDE
SATURDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2019
Churches & Chapels Open - 9:00am - 5:00pm
The Annual Sponsored Ride & Stride is a national event. Every second Saturday in September, cyclists and walkers across the country are out to raise money for their local County Churches Trust - including all the churches in our Circuit!
The idea began in Suffolk and has spread across the rest of the country. The Ride & Stride is the principal source of income for SHCT to make grants available towards repairs and restoration costs for churches of all Christian traditions.
The Ride & Stride is volunteer-run and ecumenical. Participants are encouraged to seek sponsors who will undertake to pay an agreed sum of money for each church or chapel visited on Ride & Stride Day.
Money raised by cyclists and walkers is distributed 50:50 between SHCT and the place of worship nominated by the participant.
Further information, including how to participate, can be found on the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust website.
