| Good News - New Pulpit Furniture |
| Our new Pulpit, Communion table and rails were installed and dedicated to the Lord on Sunday 9th September. It is delightful and a great asset to the Church. The style is in keeping with the original style of Mahon and it is much loved by all who see it. All who preach from it find it is the right size and pleasant to use. But they can preach the Word of God from any surface or area. It is not the pulpit but the preacher who brings us the Gospel Sunday by Sunday. |

| Childrens Service |
| On Sunday 16th Decembr the children of the Sunday School will bring to us the Christmas story in drama and song. This is always a special and much loved service and we hope to see te church full to support the children. |
| |
| Sunday School |
| Our Sunday School is growing and at present there are 20 children attending each week. We thank the parents for bringing each child, but we would love to see them coming on to Church afterwards. There are 3 teachers and there is still room for more children who would like to learn about Jesus. We take children from the age of 3 to 13 years. All are welcome. |

| Bible Class |
| The united Bible Class between Mahon, Battlehill and Epworth have been ongoing since October. We are using a group system (each group has about 6/7 members) and we have five groups. We have been studying "Christian Character" and it has been very interesting, especially the discussions after we have read the portion of scripture for the week. Classes will end on Wednesday 5th December and begin again in January 2008. Meetings are always at 8.00 pm with time for a cup of tea and a chat beforehand. There is still room for more, so come along to Battlehill and join us. |

| Anyone for tea? |
| For a few months now we’ve been having a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit before the morning service. This is an extension of our fellowship and while a few have been enjoying this time spent together, it would be lovely to see more of you coming into the Vestry to share with us. It is free of charge and there is no washing up to do. So why not join us next Sunday morning in the Vestry at the back of the Church from 11.00 - 11.40 am Look forward to serving you |

| Prayer Room |
| Epworth, Battlehill and Mahon have had a Prayer Room in Epworth for two weekends. Each of the three churches were responsible for two days, having someone there for an hour at a time from morning until eveing. It was a lovely place to spend time with God. It was very peaceful and preparations had been made, there were bibles, humn books and lots of readings and well as CD's for those who wanted. But most of all it was peace. We believe God hears our preyers and we know he will answer when the time is right. |

| Senior Citizen's Carol Service |
| Each year we have a special service dedicated th our Senior Citizens. It will be on the 23rd December @ 11.45 am. The carols are chosen by some of the seniors and we have a cup of tea for everyone in the hall after the service. Loking forward to it. |
| |
| CHRISTMAS MORNING |
| Our service on Christmas morning is traditionally at 8.00 am. It is usually very well attended and the children and young people bring some of the gifts Santa has left during the night. Great to see them and all are welcome to come and share this special service with us and Jesus. |
| |
| Watchnight Service |
| The Methodist Church has always celebrated the coming of the New Year with a special service, which is called the "Watchnight Service". It starts at 11.15 pm and ends about 12.15 am when the New Year has come in. There is usually a cup of tea in the hall afterwards and all are welcome to come to this. This year it will be held in Edenderry. |

| Charles Wesley 300th Anniversary |
| Two Sundays ago we had a special service to celebrate the live of Charles Wesley. He wrote many hundreds of hymns and we still enjoy singing them in Mahon. Most of our services have at least one. The Rev Desmond Curran, together with our organist chose the music and Desmond talked about the writing of each one before it was sang. The congregation enjoyed it very much. Mahon is a church which loves using music to praise the Lord. |
