Junior worship and fellowship

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.

Fun for Under Fives (FfUFs) runs every Monday morning in term-time for pre-school children and accompanying adults. The session includes play, craft activities, story time, songs and a prayer.

Messy Church is normally held on the first Monday of school holidays except Bank Holidays. All ages are welcome, accompanied by an adult.

Safeguarding

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.

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 April

To ponder: The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9, NIV)

Give thanks for those agencies who seek to build bridges between different peoples in the Middle East.
Pray for all who are caught up in conflict – not just in the Middle East but Ukraine, Sudan …
Our God answers prayer, and we call on his name. In the name of the Prince of Peace, Christ the Lord. Amen

19th – 25th April

To ponder: They asked each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’ (Luke 24:32, NIV)

Give thanks for the freedom we have to worship as we wish and express our beliefs, and to question what we are told.
Pray for those who do not have this freedom; pray for people in places where to worship openly, or to criticise the powerful, is to invite persecution.
Lord, open our hearts, eyes and ears that we may receive your word for us today.

26th April – 2nd May

To ponder: He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24, NIV)

Give thanks for the work of Médecins Sans Frontière and other agencies that respond to emergencies all over the world.
Pray for all who care for the sick and the dying in this country.
Pray for those known to you who need healing at this time.
Healing God, take each one of us as we are, battered and bruised by life’s experiences, restore within us a sense of your peace, that we may find healing, (Revd Lindsey Sanderson, URC Prayer Handbook 2000-2001)
