A full copy of this original 20 page souvenir programme is kindly supplied by Mr Malcolm Clarkson. In my careful transcription this lists those given recognition with their Sutton Road Methodist Church in Huthwaite, during 150 year celebrations through formerly Wesleyan Methodists established by Eleazor Boot in 1808.
While prays, notes and event fall outdated, their Huthwaite Church history pages add reference.
It is a great privilege to be associated with Sutton Road Methodist Church as its Minister, and I welcome this opportunity of introducing our Brochure which commemorates 150 years of Methodist witness in Huthwaite.
Our Church has a high place in the affections of many people in this district, and if this brochure moves you to a renewed sense of gratitude to God for the past as you read it, and also to an even more whole-hearted dedication of yourself to Him for the future, then this little booklet will have achieved a very worthy aim.
Yours very sincerely. Wilfred J. Verrinder
