Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Our Moderator, Revd Dr David Pickering has written “I write in what are unprecedented and challenging times, as we face within our churches and communities, the impact of a developing world-wide pandemic. It is not unnatural for each of us to feel anxious and concerned about the impact on our lives and those of our loved ones, our churches, our communities, those with jobs and particularly those who are most vulnerable in society. Whilst we have individual concerns and belong to a local church, we are also members of the whole URC family. Please be assured that the whole family is seeking to play its part through prayer, plans and deeds, to which we can each contribute. Whilst our Church and your church may be tested, I hope that we and members of our communities may come to value local church and Christian communities in new ways.” We in Rutherglen URC in common with many other churches have taken the decision to suspend our Sunday Services until further notice. This is not a step we have taken lightly but we feel it is the right step to take The United Reformed Church are offering Sunday services by email. These will commence this Sunday when, at 10am, a service in both written and audio format will be emailed out. The service will have the feel of a service on the radio in our style with well-known URC people leading worship. There will be prayers and hymns to join in with as we pray together. There will also be, from time to time, a chance to share bread and wine together - the first such opportunity will be on Easter Sunday. Anyone who has email and would like to avail themselves of this form of worship can sign up to receive the Devotions Emails simply go to devotions.urc.org.uk Please read the information from the NHS. The United Reformed Church have issued guidance here All are welcome!
Worship at Rutherglen URC is held at 11am each Sunday and all visitors are made most welcome. Check our calendar below for the latest worship and communion information.
