Help for Asylum Seekers

147 asylum seekers have been recently housed by the Home Office in our area. These men, women and children have no family or support in the UK. Only food and housing is provided, with little financial support, eg £5 a week for men.

A collection of specific items needed by the refugees is taking place on Thursday 11th June from 5.30pm - 7pm at the front entrance of Studley Methodist Church.

Please can all donations be new or nearly new items.
Please note we are unable to accept anything not on this list.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

00 Welcome Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.
 

Some key information about the church...

 

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.45 am for our Sunday Service.

We meet at:
Studley Methodist Church
Alcester Road
Studley
Warwickshire
B80 7NJ


You can see a map on our contact us page

There is limited parking available on the road outside the Church.  There is a public car park in Pool Road; a footpath leads behind Studley Infants School to the road nearly opposite the Church.
 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome, particularly from the Door Steward, who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.
Each service is different, but will normally include hymn singing, bible reading, prayers and a sermon.
An offering for the work of the Church and the wider Methodist Circuit is usually taken.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.
 

What happens to the children at church?

Although we get few children visiting, we will provide activities suitable for the children's age.
 

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.
 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
 

I have more questions, how can I get in touch and ask them.

Please feel free to contact us. If you want to know more about our leaders, please visit our Staff and Leadership page.
