What's New !
 Welcome to
LUTTERWORTH URC ...
We are, at
present, working to bring the outside of our church
building up to standard. It was built in 1777 and was in
need of a lot of work. We have all worked very hard to
cover all this, but have not yet managed to achieve our
target. Nehemiah chapter 3 tells us of the rebuilding of the city walls at Jerusalem and it details
of difficulties that were encountered. Our difficulties are not the same, but sometimes have seemed as unsurmountable.
The church started meeting here in 1689, but the building we know was not erected until 1777.
As it is a grade 11 listed building in a conservation area we have found the negotiations for refurbishment long and tedious.
After a long haul and
the frustration of delays, the work on the church front
is nearing completion and the restoration of the
building to something of its former glory is now
evident. Most people agree that it is a good piece of
elegant workmanship. It has made us realise, more than
ever, the sacrificial devotion of our forebears who
undertook the task of constructing the building, as well
as the faithful servants of the Lord in this place who
maintained and improved it.
Our work in
the United Reformed Church in Lutterworth is to rebuild
the spiritual and educational life of those in our
community. We have a programme which includes a support
group with parents and carers of small children,
providing educational and recreational facilities for
the young people who come along, as well as giving the
adults an opportunity to talk through their concerns. We
also run a group for the junior age young people, which
meets after school, where craft work is used to help the
youngsters relax and develop. We also have a separate
study time for them when they can work together to
discuss secular and religious issues. The church
fellowship also meets regularly to discuss these things
and the implications of living in the 21st century. We
sometimes meet all together and at other times in small
groups. We also have a group of people, often those who
would otherwise always eat alone, who come once a week
for the opportunity to chat with others and a meal.
If you are ever in our area, do drop in and
visit us, we would love to see you ....
