SERVICES

There are services at Crick United Reformed Church: -
On the 3rd Sunday of the month at 9 am           
Other Sundays at 11 am
5th Sunday - Joint Pastorate service

Morning services are followed by tea and coffee in the schoolroom: you are assured a warm welcome if you can join us. 

When there are 5 Sundays in the month, it is our practice to have a combined service with the other churches in our pastorate. 

Our pastorate has 4 churches: to enable our Minister to visit each church twice a month, our service pattern has changed slightly. Our morning service on the 3rd Sunday of the month will be at 9:00 am.

REGULAR EVENTS

Our well-attended coffee mornings are held on the first Saturday of each month from 10.30 am until 12.

Our last donations for 2009 were  £88.30 to Breast Cancer Research, and £100 to Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
Donations for 2009 totalled £788.30.  

Donations to all the charities chosen by our ‘regulars’ since the coffee mornings began in 1999 have now reached £9,014.30, a wonderful total, which reflects the generosity of all our customers. Thank you all. 

Once a month a luncheon club is held, by invitation, on a Thursday.

THE SCHOOLROOM

The schoolroom, a large annexe to the church itself, is now available for use for non-church activities, such as choir practice, drama rehearsals, meetings etc. For more information please contact Tom Nisbet on 01788 822679.

HISTORY

Today we are the United Reformed Church but for many years we were known as the Congregational Church.
The church has its origins in the 17th century, when a local group of 'non­conformists’ started to meet - or congregate - in some of the large houses in the village for services of worship.

In the 1700s they acquired a piece of land, the site of a Protestant dissenting meetinghouse, licensed in 1790 for religious worship, and in the early 1800s it was decided that a new church be built. The current building was completed in 1820, and regular services have been held here ever since.

At the beginning of the 20th century a major renovation was undertaken to provide comfortable seating for 120, and in the 1960s the schoolroom was extended to provide a versatile meeting room.

In 1972 the Congregational Church joined with the Presbyterians to form the United Reformed Church.
