General Assembly, the key-decision making body of United Reformed Church (URC), opened on 9 July. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the meeting was held digitally.

The 2021 General Assembly of the United Reformed Church began with the Constitution of Assembly in prayer by the Moderator of Assembly, Peter Pay.

A group of people who will form the review of church life group, initiated at the United Reformed Church (URC) Mission Council in March, has been appointed.

The group of nine people, which includes the Revd Dr John Bradbury, URC General Secretary, has been assembled to review the life, structures, resources and work of the URC to enable a faithful response to the challenges presented in Paper A1 Toward the future of the URC. This paper reflected that the pandemic has become a moment that has revealed strengths, weaknesses and possibilities in the life of the church we maybe were not aware of.

The United Reformed Church (URC) Children’s and Youth Work team has teamed up with Commitment for Life to publish a new resource to help children and young people engage with Nicaragua.

Now in its 20th year, Luton Council of Faiths, will receive the award and certificate from the Queen’s representative, Helen Nellis, the Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, later this summer.
