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. |
It is good to be back in church but due to the current infection rate in Solihull we ask that you adhere to the following Covid 19 restrictions even though this may be stricter than the law requires. We recognise that many will have been double vaccinated but that doesn’t, in itself, stop the spread of the disease. The Elders have decided that we should continue with some steps to mitigate the further spread of the virus. Basically for our services during September this means:
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.
- please sign in (either by using the NHS track and trace App or at the desk by the entrance);
- please use the hand sanitiser provided or wash your hands;
- social distancing rules should be followed with no more than 6 people or 2 households grouping together indoors;
- Communal Singing: we have a large spacious building and as long as you are socially distanced and, ideally, wearing a mask then please feel free to sing along with the hymns.
