During the Coronavirus pandemic, ‘virtual’ worship will be posted on the Christchurch United Church Facebook page. These videos will also be available on the website shortly afterwards. Please click on title above.

The ‘virtual’ worship can be viewed on Facebook or below.

Good morning and welcome to worship. Today we shall be thinking about a story which may challenge our usual picture of Jesus, and also ask questions about our relationship to both religious buildings and commerce. The service includes a celebration of Holy Communion so please make sure you have bread and wine (or appropriate substitutes) to hand if you wish to take part.

Our first hymn declares that “God is here”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4dS03wepFs. However, if you prefer something more lively, there is “I will enter his gates with thanksgiving”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBxt7HdbA18

We conclude with a hymn to a familiar Irish tune (and sung by an Irish congregation!): “Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRXWDANh69o.

May God bless your worship with us!
