South Aston United Reformed Church
Latest News
As a result of the relaxed Covid retrictions, we are happy to say that the Church is open for Sunday Worship.
Services start at 11.00 am. Please read the following -
Guidance Notes -
All the previous protocols will still be in place until we hear otherwise.
Worshippers will be expected to wear a mask unless they have medical exemption, temperatures will be taken on arrival, hands sanitised and names taken. Entry to the sanctuary will be by one door and exit by the another. Chairs will be spaced 2 metres or more apart.
There will be no congregational singing yet but, as before, we can have a small number from the Singing Group at the front - socially distanced - singing to the congregation, singers and readers can remove their masks whilst they are doing so.
After the service we can't remain in the building and chat so if people want to talk for any length of time they will have to go outside.
It's possible that some of these restrictions might be lifted over the next couple of weeks but we've heard nothing yet. Jackie

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 and to inform you of preachers, other than our own Reverend Peter Little, who will be taking our Sunday morning services. You will be extended a warm welcome anytime you care to join us, either for worship or social events.
Because of measures that we are having to take to protect everyone associated with South Aston URC from Covid -19, we are not currently able to operate at our normal level of involvement. Please bear with us and keep checking this website for the latest information. Or, contact us via telephone or email. Details are on the Contact Page

Following receipt of an email that Nick Stanyon, the West Midlands URC Synod Evangalist, has sent to all churches in the Synod (21/04/20) our Minister has requested that this link should be added to the website -
christianity.org.uk/
Christianity.org.uk run by the Christian Enquiry Agency, is now an independent agency, but has long been part of Churches Together In England. Visitors to the site can read a number of well written articles or watch short video that may answer their questions, or at least peak their interest. Currently one lead article is about the coronavirus, and another about ‘what is a Christian?’ There are many more. It’s worth a browse for yourself. Visitors can then ask questions, request a free copy of Luke’s Gospel, or find a church from the site.
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.
