As we say goodbye to The Connexion, we take this final opportunity to see how Methodists meet and work together – be that in Gibraltar, Bradford or on the airwaves!

Read how a Minecraft Church pioneer in the Northampton District has taken the world-building game to a new level, inviting people of all ages to respond creatively to the Bible, either by building in Minecraft or with real-life craft materials.

Consider how chaplains – whether based in the Army or in a local school – share the good news of Jesus in ways that meet people just where they are.

Sharing the good news is also the aim of the Methodist ministers who regularly share with the nation on Pause for Thought. Hear from some Methodist radio regulars about how they came to have such a platform and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into each three-minute reflection.

Art has the power to move us and make us look at the world in new ways. Read how the Methodist Modern Art Collection joined the Bradford City of Culture celebrations with an ambitious five-venue exhibition, Everything is Connected, and then reflect on how the controversies of art and artist can be used to give voice to people who have been made to feel voiceless in Surviving Annunciation.

As we bring the final edition to a close, we look ahead to the Methodist Church’s Christmas campaign, Gifted, and we share all the ways we can stay connected - including by signing up to receive The Methodist News by email every week at methodist.org.uk/SignUp
