The United Reformed Church has expressed its sadness at the passing of HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9 aged 99.

A constant support to Her Majesty the Queen since their marriage in 1947, the Prince was one of the nation's best-loved and controversial royal figures.

Hannah Brown, Campaigns and Church Engagement Officer, for the Joint Public Issues Team introduces Climate Sunday.

2021 is an important year for climate action. The UK is hosting the United Nations climate change summit – COP26 – in November. We’re in the early years of a crucial decade for reducing global carbon emissions. Communities around the globe are continuing to bear the full force of climate change now, with loss and damage beyond repair felt by millions.

To combat the lockdown blues, members of Chappel United Reformed Church (URC) in Colchester, spent a weekend bringing Easter joy to their community.

The group delivered Easter cards and Palm crosses to 350 households in the villages surrounding the church on 27 March.
