Junior Church takes place every Sunday morning and is open to all ages. Young people and children take part in the beginning of morning worship and then join in age-related groups for a variety of activities. 

Families with babies and pre-school children are welcome to sit anywhere in the sanctuary, or in the safe area at the back of the church, so that everyone can participate in worship. Soft play bags are available for the very young.

Safeguarding

FURCSafeguarding

Safeguarding is the action taken to promote and protect the well-being and human rights of individuals. This includes the promotion of the safety and welfare of children and adults who are at risk of, or experiencing harm, abuse or neglect in any form and their right to protection.

Safeguarding is underpinned by Jesus’ command to his followers to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34-35).

We are committed to safeguarding in every area of our church's life and ministry. This means we will:

  • Do all we can to create and maintain a safe and caring environment for all people.
  • Respond promptly and effectively to any form of abuse and neglect, including reporting abuse to statutory agencies when necessary.
  • Seek to prevent abuse in any form from occurring. We will seek to identify individuals who may pose a risk to others and take necessary actions to minimise risk whilst supporting these individuals in our communities when safe to do so.

If you wish to discuss a safeguarding concern, please contact Jane Dowdell, our Church Safeguarding Co-ordinator at safeguarding@farehamurc.org.uk. 

Our Synod Safeguarding Officer is Sharon Barr who is contactable at 023 8067 8570 and safeguarding@urcwessex.org.uk.

prayer table

Our prayers this month

Every week pray for our Church Officers, Elders, all who lead worship, those who provide and show the PowerPoint and work the camera and microphones, those who provide music during times of worship, those who prepare the flowers and those who provide welcome and hospitality.

Prayer for Growth: God of Mission,  who alone brings growth to your church,  send your Holy Spirit to give vision to our planning, wisdom to our actions,  joy to our worship  and power to our witness.  Help our church to grow in numbers  and in spiritual commitment to you  and in service to our local community.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

12th – 18th July

To ponder: So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ. Pass on what you heard from me - the whole congregation saying Amen! - to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others. When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. (2 Timothy 2:1-2, The Message)

  • Give thanks the churches within the Solent Cluster
  • Pray for Revd Tim Searle as he prepares for his induction to the cluster pastorate.

  • Pray for all ministers of the gospel.

    By the way they live, the words they speak, and the care they have for people, may they be a living demonstration of your love and power.

19th – 25th July

To ponder: Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. (Psalm 143:10, NIV)

  • Give thanks for teachers and all who work in education.
  • Pray for eleven-year-olds moving from junior to secondary school

  • God of love, bring your love and comfort
    to everyone who is lost or hurt or unsure of what to do.

26th July – 1st August (CTiF Holiday Club, Monday to Friday)

To ponder: Jesus took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them, (Mark 10:16, GNB)

  • Give thanks for all carers and grandparents who look after children during the school holidays.
  • Pray for the CTiF Holiday Club – for the children and their families, the helpers and those who have planned the theme and activities for the week.
  • Pray for families that cannot go on holiday, who are finding it difficult to pay for the necessities of life and have no spare money for trips and treats.
  • Jesus, friend of little children, be a friend to me; take my hand and ever keep me close to thee. (W.J Mathams, 1876)
