Yesterday @NewRoomBristol shared that they would be singing a song from Ride! Ride! at their Singing and Stories Workshop, resulting in many exclamations of 'There was a John Wesley musical?!' The musical opened in London on Wesley Day in 1976. Were you there? What was it like?
John Wesley’s New Room@NewRoomBristol9 Aug 2022
Apparently John Wesley: The Musical is a thing…🏇 Not sure if it's been performed since the 70s, but now you can sing a song from it yourself! (tomorrow 11:30am) And yes, we had to urgently change our Singing and Stories Workshop programme after this discovery.

Do you remember favourite songs or choruses from church in the 1950s(ish)? Share them below to help @DebsRWalton out!
Deborah Walton@DebsRWalton4 Jul 2022
Methodist Church friends, can you help? Next week at our local care home I am planning on doing a Sunday School type service and wonder whether you might be able to suggest some songs or choruses that were popular in #MethodistChurch #SundaySchools about 70 years ago. Thank you!

When John was in America, he and other weary travellers shared some ginger cake. No mention of candles though!

We are at #MethodistConf all week, promoting the brilliant museums - @EngleseaBrook @EpworthOld @NewRoomBristol @museummethodism Each day we have a different volunteer who can tell you about the site they represent (Except today, when you’ll find the Heritage Officer instead!)
Methodist Heritage stand, with pull up banners forming the background. There is a pull up banner for Methodist Heritage, then one for each of the four museums. In front of the banners is a table with a range of leaflets on it.

We’re also sharing a selection of stories from #MyJusticeJourney, where people shared artefacts that represented their journey with justice issues as part of the #WalkingWithMicah project. The volunteers on the stand are picking their favourite stories each day. #MethodistConf
Screenshots from tweets about My Justice Journey - each tweet shares a different story or artefact that represents their justice journey. The screenshots are in holders, all placed along a road (aka a strip of tape with a road design printed on it)

As #MyJusticeJourney draws to a close, it’s been an incredible week: stories of changes in daily lives to changes in law; personal moments and institutional change; stories of well known figures and others we’ve never heard of. Many told stories of injustice as well as justice 1/

People have shared justice issues related to disability, food poverty, slavery, racism, war, marriage, housing, sex work, prisons, the environment, and even chocolate! All have been moving, challenging, and equally important. So we thank you for sharing your #MyJusticeJourney /2

To bring the #HB250 week to an end, we joined Mow Cop Methodist Church for a special heritage service. Together we built Mow Cop - site of the first Primitive Camp Meeting - using bricks that represented past inspirations, recent encounters with God, and prayers for the future.
Cardboard boxes piled up to build a mini castle, representing Mow Cop, which is itself a small castle. A picture of Mow Cop sits on the top of the pile.
