Memory Worship - Worship for those with and without dementia

Memory Worship is a new service that has been created to support the spiritual needs of people living with dementia.  This short service takes a regular pattern of welcome - singing well-known hymns, listening to a familiar passage of scripture, followed by a brief talk, prayers then saying the Lord’s Prayer together.  Dementia can leave sufferers and their carers feeling isolated – we understand how this can feel and our dementia friends trained team can offer support and help. 

Memory Worship services take place from 2-4 pm at Thorpe Bay Methodist Church, The Broadway, on the first Monday of each month and at Wesley Methodist Church in Elm Road, Leigh on the third Monday of each month.  The idea behind this type of service is to provide a safe area for all those with or without dementia to come together to experience a time of worship and prayer, sing songs, chat and much more.  After the service we provide tasty treats and drinks for all to enjoy and we then host fun activities and simple crafts.  We believe it’s vital to recognize people’s faith at all levels, even if they can no longer express this verbally and to provide a caring environment where they can approach God, worship and praise him within a friendly community.
