Dear Friends, Last week, writing for the Ealing magazine, I commented on the warm Spring weather. Today it’s snowing! But we are past the equinox, the clocks have changed, and the evenings are longer and lighter. We have forsythia in the garden, and neighbourhood trees are thick with blossom. When there is so much trouble […]
Pictured: some of the congregation at our 2021 Harvest Festival. We had 2 full tables of produce which went to the Salvation Army in Greenford.
In July this year, I was privileged to be one of the Thames North Synod reps at General Assembly. I found it impressive. Last year, faced with Covid, GA was simply cancelled. A year on, the URC has embraced technology and, with the considerable help of the tech wizards in URC Youth, moved the whole […]

Reflections from lockdown
Thank you to everyone who contributes financially to the work of Wembley Park URC. We are blessed by your giving and generosity.

Dear Friends, Where does the time go? We are hardly over Christmas, it seems, and already we are hurtling into Lent. Ash Wednesday this year falls on February 26th, and Easter Sunday on April 12th.
