Our members are
drawn from the north, east and central Lot-et-Garonne and southern
Dordogne. We come from a variety of backgrounds, Methodist,
United Reformed Church, Baptist, Church of Scotland, The Brethren and
other denominations: all are welcome!
Origins?
The congregation at Monteton has been
meeting for over 30 years in the Church of Notre Dame in Monteton.
Originally, a group of friends met in the homes of the Atkinson
families but numbers grew and larger premises were soon needed. We are
grateful to Abbe Grimaud who, all those years ago, made us so very
welcome in his church.
What?
Church of England forms of worship are
used for all services, whilst some follow the traditional forms we also
have a lively Service of the Word "All Age Worship".
Congregations of over 60 are usual throughout the year, growing into
the 100s for major festivals.
The congregation is particularly proud
of its choir, which ensures that our services are made more special by
their beautiful singing and anthems. It is always glad to accept
new members.
Throughout the year, events such as the
Harvest Supper, a Barn Dance and even a motorised Treasure Hunt attract
regular members and many new friends alike.
Colouring books and pens and other books
to occupy and entertain children are provided and are very popular.
