Whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey
Welcome to United Reformed Church of Eastcote and Northwood Hills
Our vision is to be a progressive, welcoming and worshiping community that celebrates diversity by following the way of Christ together.
Our Mission
To work tirelessly towards bringing about a just and peaceful society in which all people are equal in the eyes of each other and of the Holy Spirit.
We have re-opened!
Our church doors were closed, except for our Foodbank, since 22 March 2020, so we were delighted to re-open our church for in person worship from Sunday, 4th July with some people continuing to join us via Zoom. We are excited to be able to return. We have missed all your banter, chatter, and conversations over tea and coffee. What has it been like for you? Come and share. You are most welcome.
If you would like to join in the Zoom service either using a laptop, tablet, smart phone, mobile or just using your own home phone, or if you would like a prayer said for you, please click here to email the Church Secretary. If you are new to Zoom, we will be able to give you assistance.
Sometimes we have joint church services with St John's Northwood, which may be here or at St John's. Click here for Church service dates / who is leading each Service, special services and information on any other venue.
Please see the calendar below for activities and groups using our premises, as well as our activities and services.

Prayer
May this space be open, equal and accessible. May our service be simple, humble and freely offered. May our communion be sincere and available to all. In the name of Christ, we pray it may be so. Amen. 
We are an inclusive Christian community that delights in difference. We welcome and affirm people of all race, gender, sexuality, age, faith and abilities; and work to promote justice, equality and the well-being of all people.
Our building is registered for the celebration of same sex marriage. Prayer
Healing Father, giver of wholeness, as we move once again out of a life of restriction and into the glory of your world, we give thanks for places and people of healing, for individuals in communities, churches, hospitals, and care homes. We pray for your healing to be present in the lives of all who hurt and grieve and in the midst of a broken world. As we move towards being able to worship you again in our communities, let us not forget those churches that remain closed and the congregations that may never worship together again. We ask that we too will receive the touch of your presence in our lives so that we can pass it to others who have not yet seen your glory and majesty. Help us to open ourselves to You as our lives gradually open up, and give us hope enough to trust in Your resurrection promises. And remind us that this is only one time and that times of joy and laughing are present with us also. Amen The URC provides a daily devotion with a short Bible reading, reflection and a prayer:
