The United Reformed Church (URC) has compiled a list of its churches which are live streaming acts of worship, offering sermons as podcasts or audio files, or offering recordings of services for people who are unable to access church due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.Easter Sunday: The URC’s Daily Devotions’ Easter Sunday service at 10am will be led by the Revd Dr John Bradbury, from Downing Place URC with music from Ian de Massini. You can either read along to the service or listen to it here: https://mailchi.mp/urc/easter-sunday-2020 There will also be an act of Holy Communion – if you would like to take part with this, please prepare some bread and wine or juice. This list is arranged in alphabetical order and will be updated regularly.The URC is also offering advice and resources from a variety of sources about the pandemic which can be found here.
