The congregation has merged with St Johns in Allestree and there will be a monthly meeting to worship and share fellowship on the second Wednesday of the month at the Weston centre at 1:30pm

Remaining as a fully-functioning Methodist Society within Duffield had become unsustainable with the committed but elderly congregation holding office, as required by Methodism standing Orders. During 2024 very tough and emotional decisions had to be taken to close the building and merge our society with St. John's in Allestree. We are grateful to the members of St. Johns for accepting us. Many of the Duffield members will have their membership transferred there but not all.

However this development has allowed Methodists in Duffield to begin a new journey, one that is to become known as New Wine, without the cares and responsibilities of managing Methodist property and assets. The first gathering of New Wine happened at the RJ Weston Centre, Town Street in Duffield on Wednesday 9th October at 2pm.

A short time of hymn-singing, prayers and a thought-provoking reflection gave the sixteen attendees an opportunity to feed their spirituality with good things. These gatherings are being planned monthly with communion being offered from time-to-time. This new initiative is a fresh expression of being part of a contemporary church family without being tied to a specific premises or building. We would welcome anyone into our gatherings to explore more and join us in our journey of faith and discipleship.
