Welcome We are glad that you have found us at Solihull United Reformed Church (URC). We invite you to look around the website and discover our heart to reach the least, the last, and the lost. You would be most welcome to join us in this mission and in our worship. We are a single church which unified three fellowships in 2015 and we continue to seek to serve the three communities of Hobs Moat, Olton and Central Solihull. Our minister recently retired and so are led by the Eldership team and a part-time Mission enabler. |
The Government has made significant announcements regarding the actions that society should be taking to protect itself as much as possible from the effects of coronavirus. As a consequence, and in line with guidance issued by the central office of the United Reformed Church, A letter from Reverend John Proctor, General Secretary of the United Reformed Church is available to view on the central church's website www.urc.org.uk.
We are putting in place a measures whereby everyone will be contacted to enable prayer requests, pastoral news and the need for practical help to be passed on.
From Sunday 6th September the Church are planning to begin offering Sunday morning worship for those for whom it is appropriate to be going out and about in that way. We ask that you should consider carefully whether it is appropriate for you to join in or whether you should continue to be shielded at home at that time.
The fine details have yet to be worked out, but services will not include congregational singing and will probably only last 30-40 minutes. Face masks will be worn by everyone (over the age of 3) throughout the service and marked seating spaces will be at least 2 metres from the next person in all directions (you may sit next to someone from your household/’bubble’ eg spouse). There will be no opportunity to socialise before or afterwards. We will not be offering communion until further notice.
Any time you enter the building now you are asked to sanitise your hands (either using the sanitiser stations at the doors or wash with soap on your hands for at least 20 seconds, if sanitiser is not appropriate for you). Any time you are in the building with anyone else you must wear a face mask and observe 2m distance if possible. Every time you come in to the church building you must sign in so we can know who, and how many people, are coming and going.
For those people who would like to continue to share in worship a number of United Reformed churches are either streaming their Sunday services or they are recorded for viewing or listening to at a later date. A link to the churches that are offering this facility is https://urc.org.uk/latest-news/3385-coronavirus-worshipping-digitally.
In addition the BBC offer a number of religious broadcasts; most notable would be the television programme "Songs of Praise", also Radio 4 and a number of local radio stations also offer live streaming of religious services.
We hope that all of our congregation, members and friends remain safe during the coming weeks and offer the following prayer to you all:
Lord Jesus, In the midst of a storm, You said, ‘Peace be still.’ bid our anxious fears subside, sustain your church in faith, hope and love.
Bring our nation through this tumult. Grant wisdom to those with heavy responsibilities, and healing and hope to those who are infected.
Amen.
