Welcome Sunday at Nuneaton URC

"On Sunday 26 July we invited friends old and new to a special welcome service to recognise and celebrate the various community groups regularly using our building.

We asked groups to share information and items relating to their activities for display in church and they were all named during the service remembered in prayer. We have built up particularly strong bonds with the Age UK support groups and Lumen Academy (SMEH) children and welcome members to special combined services to celebrate Harvest and Christmas."

Could you open your home to refugees?

“As Christians, we believe in sharing what we have with those in need and offering a welcome.”

Refugees at Home host, Mother Rachel Summers, has been hosting for over 10 years.

Hosting comes out of our deeply held beliefs, not just our faith but also our beliefs about humans and how we should live as decent people.

Over 50’s Holiday At Home Based Around A Cruise Ship Experience!

"‘I Am Sailing’ was the refrain we regularly sang along to as we set sail on our cruise adventure from the home turf of our Highbridge Hall! We joyfully decorated the hall with all things holiday related including a happy sunshine, seagulls, sea creatures and a sand tray to play in, with, of course, buckets and spades, shells and seaweed!

Over the four days we enjoyed a whole variety of activities. We crafted our own garlands and made an octopus and paper flowers, as well as our own racehorse! We watched footage of holiday memories and learnt about the customs and geography of different countries. We played quoits and skittles, and board games as well as having a beetle drive and ‘playing cards’ bingo. Dominoes was a particular favourite!"
