A Methodist Church in the UK has announced that it is shutting down after 129 years of existence due to dwindling membership.
The church located in Eastrington, Yorkshire said in a public notice it no longer has “enough members to fulfill the required church posts and not enough finances” to sustain its activities.
The notice reads, “It is with great sadness that we have to announce that our Methodist Church in Eastrington is closing after 129 years of worship.
“Unfortunately we no longer have enough members to fulfill the required church posts and not enough finances to maintain our elderly chapel.
“Everyone is invited to our closing service on Sunday 25th Sept 2022 at 2.30pm, followed by a tea.
“While it is a sad occasion, we are determined to celebrate and give thanks for 129 years of worship and service. Will you come and help us to have a good ‘send off?’ We’d love to see you as we know so many people within the village and wider areas have fond memories of involvement with the Methodist Chapel.”
