Over Heage Primitive Methodist chapel
New Rd, Heage DE56 2BA
We have had our chapel at Over Heage cleaned, coloured, and painted, the total expense of which, amounted to £7; and on Sunday, Oct. 13th, 1861, we had our re-opening, when Dr. Barlow, of Derby, served us well. He preached in the afternoon in our own chapel to a very attentive congregation, and we had a good time ; in the evening he preached again in the Wesleyan chapel, kindly lent for the occasion, it being much larger than ours, and the chapel was crowded ; a good influence was felt.
On Monday, Oct. 14th, we had a tea-meeting, and 180 persons were convened at the social repast which was gratuitously provided. After tea, the Rev. J. Barfoot delivered a lecture on revivals of religion. A blessed influence was felt. The proceeds of the tea and sermons amounted to £9, for which we are unfeignedly thankful; and we pray that Heaven’s choicest blessings may rest on all our kind friends in this life, and in the world to come may they be blessed with life everlasting.
