I Go to a United Reformed Church |
|
| I go to a United Reformed Church, usually called a URC. We meet on Sunday morning to worship and praise God. The first part of the service is led by a worship group when we sing modern songs and sometimes older hymns. The group is quite informal and uses a keyboard, guitar and drums. |

Between the songs we may have Bible readings, prayers or a short talk. The children leave after this to go to "Light Factory" where they have their own teaching. The second part of the service is when we have a sermon, when a passage from the Bible is read and then explained to us. Once or twice a month this is given by our Minister (he looks after 3 other churches) otherwise a member of the church or an invited visitor does it. After the service there is a cup of tea or coffee and a chance to talk to other people in the church. |
| Once a month, on one of the Sundays that our Minister is with us, we have communion. This takes place during the service, where we remember that Jesus died on the cross to save us. Anyone who loves Jesus, including children, can take part and eat the bread and drink the wine that is passed round. We do this because Jesus tells us to in the Bible. |
