Hi, I’m Rev. Peter Moorhouse, minister at Thorpe Bay Methodist Church, and I also share responsibility for Chalkwell Park and Hadleigh Methodist Churches in the Southend and Leigh Circuit. I’ve been in ministry since 2007 and was ordained in 2009. Before coming here, I served in the Oldham and Saddleworth Circuit. I’m originally from Hale in Cheshire, but my journey with Jesus has taken me all over Britain.
I’m married to Natalie, and we have two sons, Isaac and Jude. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, particularly the NFL — I've supported the Chicago Bears for 35 years — and of course, I’m a lifelong Manchester United fan. God bless.
Our Sunday morning service is at 9:30 am, followed by refreshments.
Communion Service is the 2nd Sunday of the month, preceded by breakfast at 9:45am.

Almighty God,
Author and perfector of our lives,
you are God of all creation;
the moon and the stars sing your praises,
the rich and the poor revere you equally,
the joyous and the grief-stricken seek you equally,
the peace-lover and the warmonger look to you for strength for you are God!
You saved the world even before we knew we needed saving.
You provided for our needs even before we were aware of our nakedness.
Your grace amazes us,
your love fulfils us,
your forgiving presence instils hope and our suffering is eased.
Thank you for filling us with your vision.
Thank you for imbuing your wisdom upon us,
Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Receive our worship, hear our prayer;
for you are God. Amen!
