Worship at Downing Place

Our main Sunday service is usually held at 11am. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month; and on other special occasions in the Church’s calendar.

Services are open to those who wish to worship in person but are also live-streamed via our Youtube channel. You are welcome to join us in whichever way is most comfortable for you. You can find out about the other ways we are worshipping together via our Worship page.

Everyone is welcome to gather in worship, whether you are a regular church goer or have never attended a service of worship before; or anything in between! If you are new to church or Downing Place URC specifically, we have a First Time in Church page to browse which will hopefully explain a few things and help you feel more at home.

Our Lent House Groups are on the theme of Jesus’ Parables, and will be led by the Reverend John Proctor.

The series will begin with a plenary session in the Sanctuary at Downing Place URC: ‘Stories of life – Approaching the Parables‘, and will then continue with sessions available in person on Mondays, or on Zoom on Tuesdays.

Week 1: Monday 20 February, 2.30pm in the church.

Weeks 2 – 5: Mondays 27 February – 27 March, at the church and Tuesdays 28 February to 28 March on Zoom

These dates allow for six meetings, and five are planned. One meeting in March will be missed, at a date to be agreed in good time.

The booklets for each session are available by clicking below. Please contact us if you would like more details, or are unable to attend Week 1, as there will be a recording made which you can request a link to, to watch in your own time.
