Welcome to South Aston United Reformed Church's
website. Its purpose is to share with you all the things that we are doing in the community of South Aston, Birmingham, in Jesus's name. To bring you news of special events which you are most welcome to join in with and to inform you of preachers, other than our own Reverend Peter Little, who will be taking our Sunday morning services.
Note: -
Sunday Evening Worship: For some time now, at South Aston, we have been meeting bi-monthly on the second Sunday evening of the month for prayer and fellowship, latterly at the Manse. However, now that our Minister has three churches we have decided instead to join in with evening worship at Wilton Road Church on the second Sunday evening every month at 6.30pm. Naturally, everyone is welcome !!
Sunday Morning Services
Here is the list of preachers who will be taking our
services when Peter is at Wilton Road and Bishop Latimer (joint pastorates) during the next few months.
Unless otherwise stated services commence at 11.00am.

A Prayer for Aston
O God, Creator of all things, thank you for Aston.
Thank you for our homes, our people, our shops, our schools, our amenities, our factories, our offices.
May this always be a place of peace and Godliness.
Keep evil and violence from our homes and streets.
Bring relief to those who suffer loneliness, ill health, rejection or any other kind of distress.
Prosper everything that promotes neighbourliness, friendship and goodwill.
Watch over all who live and work here.
Strengthen family life and bring blessings on young and old alike.
We pray this through Jesus Christ.
Amen.

- Peter Chick, who in recent years has assisted Dave Kendrick with the 'Working with the Elderly' programme, mainly but not exclusively, driving the Mini - Bus, has moved to Cornwall where he has relatives. We wish Peter every happiness in his new abode and thank him for the very valuable help he provided to members of the Lunch Club and other elderly or disabled friends.
- Fish & Chip Supper for Commitment for Life: On Friday 17th May 46 friends gathered in the church foyer and enjoyed a very good supper of fish & chips (or alternatives) followed by cake, fruit and drinks. We then had a very entertaining quiz which was won by the Four Tops Team. Envelopes were available for friends to make donations to Commitment for Life through which we are supporting a community in South America. A good time was definitely had by all !! Jackie
- Boys Brigade - Girls and Boys Company: We are delighted to announce that in August a new BB company for both boys and girls is being launched at South Aston and will be led by qualified and experienced officers. Both of South Aston's former Churches had a long and proud history of working through BB so we are looking forward to this new venture. The opening date will be announced as as we have it.
- Summer Fair: On Saturday 29th June we are holding a Summer Fair as part of the Metro Mayor's Community Outreach Programme. The Deaf Children's Society, and local Community groups will be taking part. There will also be a stand giving information about the re-development of Barry Jackson Tower, opposite the church, as accommodation for homeless people. Naturally, there's a lot of organising to be done and we will give more details as soon as we can.
