Bridport United Church

NORMAL SERVICE is NOT yet resumed, but..... because of the NOVID-19 pandemic all formal activities including Sunday Services are still suspended,

however, as Sunday’s is almost upon us, here is this week’s menu of Sunday Service options offered by the Circuit Worship Team and beyond.

1) The Circuit Video service will as usual appear on the Dorset South and West website www.dsw.church on Saturday evening and this week’s service is led by Rev'd Peter Clarke with music from Heather Reed and Pete Brazier, readings from Susan Clark and has a reprise of prayers that were originally in a post-Easter video service from the Soul Space Team which we thought deserved a re-share! The YouTube link is here though doesn’t go live on YouTube until 5pm tonight: https://youtu.be/pGx7McHsaWo

2) The Audio Service from the URC Daily Devotions Team will be led on Sunday by the Rev'd Dr Kirsty Thorpe, Minister of a URC in Wilmslow and someone who periodically leads the Radio 4 Sunday morning service so may be familiar to some of us.

Hymns include:
   Let All the World In Every Corner Sing,
   Ruth Duck’s Holy Wisdom, Lamp of Learning,
   James Edmeston’s Lead Us Heavenly Father Lead Us, and
   Bryn Rees’ The Kingdom of God is Justice and Joy.

The service will go online, as normal, at 9.45 on Sunday morning for a 10am start. If you have any problems receiving it please read the website for advice: www.urc.org.uk then finding the link to the Daily Devotions and clicking the Service option. As usual you will have the option of printing the service sheet too.

As always the service will be sent out in time for a 10am start but you can listen at any point after that.

3) Finally we still have the link to the Video Service from the Soul Space Team, continuing our journey through the Book of Ruth, with the reflection by Rev'd Peter Clarke

Enjoy

About us

Our Church is called the Bridport United Church (Methodist and United Reformed). It is a local ecumenical partnership (LEP) where Christians of more than one denomination are working together. Services are normally held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings with an evening service held as announced (see Notice Board).

At the morning service there are facilities for youngsters, known as the Young Explorers group. The church is situated at the heart of the small market town of Bridport in Dorset. The LEP came into existence on 10 November 1971.

The former Methodist church in South Street was sold to the local Arts Society and is now the Bridport Arts Centre and the Congregational church in East Street was chosen as the home for the new church partnership.
