President and Vice-President Christmas message 2024
The President and Vice-President of the Methodist Conference’s Christmas message has been released and focuses on self-care and “hushing the overwhelming noise” of the pressures around us.
We stretch from Southport in the north to Wirral in the south and include parts of Lancashire and Cheshire to the east. Although predominantly urban, the District does include some rural communities and Churches.
A new North West Methodist District
On September 1st, 2024, five Districts united to form a new North West England Methodist District. As a result, this website is no longer functional, and the information it contains may be out-of-date. We will be taking the site down soon, with thanks to all who have contributed both to the site and the work of the Liverpool District.
You can visit the website of the new District here: The North West England District
Warm Spaces
In recent years the District has engaged seriously with the issues surrounding our more effective use of the God-given resources available to us in people, time, money and buildings. As a consequence we now comprise 9 Circuits for our, approximately, 6500 Methodist members. This is a process which will need to continue as we seek to be ever more effective in our witness for Jesus Christ and our desire, in all parts of the District, to offer to the communities we serve that hope which is God’s gift to the world in Jesus.

Jude Levermore, Head of Mission at the Methodist Church, shares this reflection and prayer to mark Human Rights Day and its Methodist heritage.
The Warm Space at St John’s Church in the town of Llandudno, part of the Conway and Prestatyn Circuit, began in January 2023 after the government requested worship and community spaces to open up and provide warm places for people.
At the end of October, Songs of Praise came to film one of their Christmas programmes at High Street Methodist Church in Harpenden. Deacon Sarah Wickett shares her experience of what happened when Songs of Praise came to film.
Christmas is loud, isn’t it? So much expectation. So many voices….

Come and join us for a day of conversation and dialogue – preaching and leading worship around tension and conflict. What does the Bible say about conflict? How do I bring this to worship and into a sermon? The day will offer a reflection from the Director of Place for Hope, www.placeforhope.org.uk , interactive workshops and guidance on preaching and leading worship around the theme of conflict and tension. You can access the day in person or online – but book soon as places are limited.
