THE MILLENIUM COMMUNITY CENTRE

As well as the Church there is a thriving Community Centre built in 1999. It was officially opened by HRH The Princess Royal in 2001. The Millennium Community Centre, Moreton. The Centre provides a home for several sporting clubs, playgroups, local groups and music and entertainment. The Millennium Community Centre was partly funded by a Millennium Commission Grant with monies also from the sale of the village school.  It stands on land formerly occupied by the Church Hall and for this reason the church is allowed an amount of free use of rooms within the Centre.

CHURCH AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

Apart from infrequent weddings and funerals, when the church becomes full, there are several annual events which are very well supported by villagers and also past village residents who often return: A Ploughman’s Lunch/ The summer Church Fête held in the Millennium Centre/ The Harvest Supper, also in the Centre, with entertainment and auction of harvest produce/ The Christmas Carol Service fills the church. The Gnosall Handbell Ringers are usually invited and in recent years musical contributions to the service have been provided by children and adults/ Village Open Gardens/ Art Exhibition and the church contributes to the village magazine, ‘Mobstead News’ a monthly publication.
