Kelvedon URC achieves Eco Church Silver award
We are pleased to announce that Kelvedon URC has achieved an Eco Church Silver award. This is the result of an Eco Survey which looks at various aspects of church life and the church building, to learn about how the church is caring for God's earth in different areas. For more information please visit the Eco Church website. We are currently working towards getting the Gold Award.
Sight Loss Friendly Church - Braille Club
We welcome the Braille Club to our Church for the first time on Wednesday 27th November. This is being organised by Theresa Peacock and her colleagues and will in future meet in the halls twice a term. We have started our journey of being a Sight Loss Friendly Church by posting new signage in our buildings.
PLEASE SEE THE CHANGES TO "PLACE OF WELCOME" AND "WARM WELCOME SPACE" SESSIONS FOR DECEMBER ONLY.
Places of Welcome
Kelvedon URC are excited to be getting involved in Places of Welcome, a national initiative seeking to grow a network of local community groups providing their neighbourhoods with places where all people feel safe to connect, belong and contribute. We will be running this between 10.00am and 12.00pm every Tuesday in the halls at the rear of the church. All are welcome, and it's a great chance for people to meet and talk and be listened to. Tea/coffee and biscuits are available (free of charge) and feel free to stay for as little or as long as you wish. We look forward to meeting you there!
Warm Welcome Space every Tuesday during Winter: 12:00 – 2:00pm: Our Warm Welcome Space returns every Tuesday during Winter. Please come along and enjoy a Bowl of Homemade Soup, a Roll and a Pudding in a warm welcoming space. Please contact Lea Finch on 07914 238456 for more details. Everyone is welcome to come and join us.
Prayer Network
Our Prayer Network continues to operate via email. To ensure that those not on email have access to the network and are kept informed of prayer requests, we have paired those people up with someone who does have access. A network list is available and if anyone has an urgent prayer request, please contact one of those named in the list. We will then circulate the request to all members on the network. If you have anything that you would like prayer for, please get in touch via our Contact page.
Church charities
We are currently supporting Beacon House and Mission Aviation Fellowship with any collections taken at special services and fundraising events. Clicking on one of the links below will take you to the charity's web site.
Benin Christian Support
Whilst we are not financially supporting Benin Christian Support this year, any knitted items (blankets, jumpers, etc.) plus any unwanted gifts or good quality bric-a-brac (suitable for sale at a car boot sale) will still be collected and passed on to Benin, or used to raise funds to support their work. Please contact Janet Andrews for more details.
