“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
We have a small chapel situated at the corner of the church nearest the crossroads, with its own separate entrance (shown above).
Foundation Stone
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be shaken.”
On the wall of the chapel you will find the original foundation stone of the church, dated 8th May 1876. A second similar stone with the same date can be found in the opposite stairwell.
The interior of the Windsor Methodist Church was extensively remodelled in the early 1990s to its present form. Near the new main entrance to the church you will find other stones that relate to the remodelling work and to its reopening by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1993.
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone– while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?”
