It's 2021 and while we're winning the battle against COVID, there's still some things we need to do when meeting together to make sure we beat this thing!
Real Life 11:30 Sunday Meetings are happening but you have to book
It's fine for us to meet but we need to know in advance whether you are coming, limit numbers, and move tables around for social distancing (There's also a group of us who clean like crazy before and after). These meetings have been a beautiful thing and it's been lovely to see people.
Things to remember:
Message Steve by Saturday night to book your place - either on facebook or by emailing Steve@urbanhope.org.uk.
There isn't any YUK kids groups at the moment, so if you're bringing kids then you need to bring something that will entertain them at their seats.
Please bring masks.
We can't feed you or make hot drinks (usually we can manage bottled water) but feel free to bring your own things to eat/drink at your tables.
There's also great stuff at the same time on Facebook.
If you can't make it into church on the Sunday, don't worry, there'll still be some things on Facebook (videos and discussions followed by a Facebook room). The Facebook Group is private but you can request to join and then see the group here.
We have been talking about what to do about kids' work while we're all stuck at home. We miss the kids loads and wanted to do something that keeps teaching them that God loves them, and we love them, but also reassures them at this stressful time. So, announcing....
Every Sunday we'll be putting stories and activities on there. There's loads of stuff already up about today's theme - faithfulness, and next week we'll put up loads more stuff about the next fruit - gentleness. There's a whole lot of other stuff we can do as well over time, but hey, baby steps to start with. There's also an app you can download if your cherub has a smart device.
Please do show the site to your kids and tell us what they think, even if it's bad, we can make it better! We'll also be including a special "Gemma's Challenge" each week where the kids can win fabulous prizes, which will be given out when we do finally meet again.
Last Week, Spring Harvest took over youtube, with thousands of people joining in with their Christian teaching, prayers, and worship. We're picking our fave bits from the event.
Worship It was amazing to be able to worship with so many people across the world, right from our living room.
