Chester-le-Street Methodist Church

There have been two recent noteworthy events

Anchor Fun Morning. On 29th January we held an Anchor Fun Morning at Chester-le-Street on behalf of the East Durham Battalion. The theme was ‘Jonah and the Whale’ and included crafts, puzzles, drama, games and food (essential for BB events involving Anchor Boys!). Deaconess Anne Eccles came and helped enact a drama on the story of Jonah and showed the children how to make story-boxes. Three Companies took part, 1st Chester-le-Street 1st Whitburn and 1st Newton Hall.

Presentation of President's Badge on 13th February:; this award, the second highest award in the BB was presented to three of the Senior members, Daniel Miller, Jack Rowell and Christopher Winn.

The presentations were made at the Church Parade by Mrs Mary Elliott.  Mary has been one of the Company's Presidents, and her husband, Jack, was one of the original Officers when the Company was founded in 1952. As the Company have just reverted to their original title of 1st Chester-le-Street, it was fitting that Mary present the first President Badges under the new  name.
