Community

Community Involvement

Our mission statement ‘Following Jesus, Serving the Community’ shows our commitment to Sherwood and the world in which we live. We look for ways to get to know our neighbours better and to serve the needs of the local area. 
​
We are involved in activities in the local community including Nourish, Sharing Sherwood, Sherwood Art Week and run a monthly Messy Church. We also have a Knit and Natter group and at times we go on walks in the countryside together, for more detail on these please email us.

Green Living

Picture
Our Church Garden has a small landscaped area that is accessible to the public and suitable for wheelchair users.
It is designed to be wildlife friendly, has natural and seasonal plantings, a paved labyrinth, mosaics and seating. It is a calm place in a busy environment and is part of the Quiet Garden Movement. The garden is accessed via our entrance on Mansfield Road.
We have Green Flag status, RHS It’s Your Neighbourhood Awards and an Eco Church Silver award. We have PV solar panels on our church roof, installed over 10 years ago.

Giving

As a church we donate regularly to a number of UK and overseas projects. Each year at our church council we elect a charity to support as a church for a year, these have included The Nottingham Winter Shelter and Maggie’s Centre. 

Foodbank

We support a local food bank by volunteering and taking donations of food and toiletries.

There is a donation point at Sherwood Methodist every Wednesday between 10am and 12pm.

 Justice Issues

We are passionate about justice in all areas including fairtrade, society and the environment:
