Memory Worship was set up in 2016 as a monthly church service for people living with dementia.
The afternoon takes a regular pattern of welcome; singing well known hymns, reading familiar passages of scripture, and saying the Lord’s Prayer together the formal part of the service would last 30 minutes before leading into a craft activity and hospitality, providing an opportunity for conversation to reinforce the theme of the service. Our dedicated team of volunteers are on hand with tea, lovely homemade cake and fellowship. This has proved so successful that it has been replicated at Thorpe Bay Methodist Church and now Rayleigh Methodist Church.
So, every month there are three church services locally supporting the spiritual needs of those living with dementia.
Memory Worship in Rayleigh is a joint venture of Christ Church United Reformed Church and Rayleigh Methodist.
