2001 Methodist Church Closes
From Lacey Green History
ONE OF SIX TO GO
In 2001 the High Wycombe Methodist Circuit announces that it was to close six of its eighteen churches. The reason given, being a reduction of Ministers and a shortage of local preachers. Lacey green was one that had to close.
PRESENTATIONS
On Sunday August 19th, Rev’d Nicholas Young, Minister at Lacey Green, presented a Bible to Gordon May and presentations of flowers to Mrs. Kathleen Church and Miss Dorothy Parslow, in appreciation of their respective contributions to the work of the Sunday School over many years. On 23rd September, just 146 years to the day of the opening of the church, presentations were made to Mrs. Winifred Carter (steward & Church secretary) and Mrs. Vera May, (treasurer) in appreciation of their work for the church.
CLOSING HYMN
The final service, held on Sunday 30th September, took the form of a Harvest Thanksgiving. The congregation numbered one hundred and ten. The closing hymn was “Now thank we all our God”.
