Easter 2019
We joined in with the Churches Together in West Kirby Lent programme of joint activities, welcoming guests to be still and reflect at Fresh Bread for Lent. Our Easter celebrations began when we hosted a special Churches Together in West Kirby event: an inspiring, imaginative and VERY impressive solo performance of Mark's Gospel by Howard Jones. Thank you everyone for coming!
Later in April, we explored the Palm Sunday story with crafts, games and food at a super-fun Saturday Kidz Special for all the family - check out the pin the tail on the donkey! We visited Riversdale Nursing Home to take an Easter service to the residents and staff, held an extra Coffee, Cake & Communion celebration on Maundy Thursday and participated in the annual Churches Together act of witness at the Marine Lake on Good Friday - and it was the sunniest year yet! On Good Friday evening, we reflected on the words "it was my sin that held Him there" - you can listen to the talk here - and worshipped Jesus who said "I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again" (John 10:18). The church was quiet the following day... Holy Saturday, when it seemed that God was silent... And then on Easter Sunday we had two services, all celebrating together that Jesus is risen! The Easter investigation in our all-age service revealed that the tomb was empty because He is alive!

AGM 2019
Thank you everyone who came to our AGM this March and joined in thanking God for the year gone by and looking forward to all that's ahead. We were delighted to agree to continue to work in partnership with Wirral Youth for Christ and with Time for God, for another year hosting international volunteers at West Kirby URC. Special thanks to those who prepared the, now famous, "Enticing Buffet!"
Christmas 2018
We asked "Why Christmas?" at our special events this year, remembering the Bible's answer: "A Saviour has been born!" As well as the Nativity Service, Carol Service and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day events, we enjoyed a Coffee, Cake & Carols afternoon and, with support from our friends from the West Kirby Business Network, hosted Carols Around the Tree for the local business community. Toddler Group visited a very special stable to receive presents from an angel, the children and young people had fun at various social events and all ages laughed a night away at Christmas Comedy with the brilliant Tony Vino.
We were delighted to host West Kirby Primary School's Carol Services, in partnership with the PTA, and to take Christmas services to Riversdale Nursing Home and to the Places of Welcome group who meet in our hall. We really enjoyed welcoming everyone who visited West Kirby URC over Christmas - thanks for coming!
