Church Anniversary and Annual Church Meeting
A SPECIAL meeting of the Circuit in May, voted in favour of demolishing the existing premises at Bethnal Green and providing a new building on the site with a church and community centre, known as ‘Option B’. This decision overrode an earlier vote by members of the congregation in favour of ‘Option C’ which was to demolish the present church and manse and rebuild as a church and community centre together with residential accommodation. Work on ‘Option B’ will not start before March 2021. Full details are on display at the church.

150th anniversary celebrations 2018
Rev'd John Hayes reflects on the anniversary week-end:
On behalf
of everyone at Bethnal Green Methodist Church I want to say a big thank you to
all those who helped in any way to make our 150th Anniversary Weekend
a very special occasion.
I was really pleased to see so
many people involved and having a great time in the glorious sunshine.
In our service on Sunday it was a real blessing to have all our churches meeting together, and to welcome so many people as guests, not least our local MP Rushanara Ali, and some of our local councillors; Sirajul Islam, Gabriela Salva Macallan, Eve McQuillan, Kevin Brady.
