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.
Cafe Church is the last Sunday of the month, breakfast is served from 9.30am-9.45am followed by the service at 10.30am, all are welcome!

I’m looking at the sheep God. Are you really a shepherd?
I can’t see the shepherd. Is the shepherd really there?
The sheep seem to be happy, content.
They don’t seem to be lacking at all. But I can’t see the shepherd.
Some are lying down, but most are standing up, but they seem happy.
They are safe, they are fed, they are free from danger, but I can’t see the shepherd.
Even though I can’t see the shepherd, they must be there.
Feeding the sheep, caring for them, looking after them.
Does the shepherd spend much time with the sheep? I don’t know.
What about me God? Are you there? I can’t see you at the moment. Are you there?
I’m fed, I’m watered. I have plenty to eat, but are you there?
I can’t see you.
You must be there. If you weren’t there, what difference would it make?
Would I be fed? Would I be warm? Would I be safe? Probably not.
You are there, God. Just because I can’t see you doesn’t mean you are not there.
Thank you for being my shepherd.
