If you are interested in and able to help in planning our Eden Project Big Lunch this year, please let Karen Adams know as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity to show ourselves as a community church – witnessing to the love of God in this time and this place. Please think about what you think we should do, how we can do it, and what you can do to help make it happen!

Riding Lights in Stratford!

On Tuesday 31st March at 7.30, and Wednesday 1st April at 2.30 (in Holy Week) the URC in Stratford-upon-Avon will be sponsoring and hosting a Passion play. The Bear Pit Theatre is housed in their church hall, behind the church in Rother Street. Riding Lights is a well-known Christian theatre company from West Yorkshire.

The play focuses on the days leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection. It’s a dramatic tale, seen through the eyes of Lazarus, a man struggling with faith, doubt, fear and hope.
