Starting from September 2010.
Tuesday evenings 7-9pm.
A new worship service and community.
If you are living in Firenze, studying here or just visiting, then join us.
We will be worshipping in English, in the Methodist Church on via de' Benci (find us easily on google maps, between Santa Croce and Ponte alle Grazie, just one bridge down from the Ponte Vecchio).
We are rooted in the Methodist church, but typically for today's Methodists, growing out of our traditions towards different ways of worshipping. On a Tuesday evening you will find us singing Wesley hymns and the wealth of new music from the charismatic movement, Iona, Taize and contemporary hymn writers. We are focussed on the Bible, either through sermons or Bible studies, with time to think and respond in prayer, meditation and action.
We are committed to social justice and spiritual growth as a Church and as individuals.
We are an hospitable community - food will be important on Tuesdays! - but we seek to live hospitality as a lifestyle, not just a moment. As an hospitable community, we are an ecumenical community - seeking fellowship with the Italian Methodist Church, the other language-based churches that meet at via de' benci and the various Christian communities in Florence.
For more information contact Alison Walker either through this blog or on 055 288143 (italian number).
If you are here in the summer, then why not join the Italian Methodist congregation? In July we share the worship of the "Chiesa Valdese" at Via Micheli and in August we return to via de' Benci, always at 10:30am. Translation is usually available, and anyway, worshipping in Italian gives you a sense of Pentecost and Heaven!
