The creation of the United
Reformed Church in 1972
formally merged the
Presbyterian Church of
England and the
Congregational Church in
England and Wales. One
Member of Parliament, at
the time, described this
merger as: “one of the most
historic measures in the
history of the Christian
churches in this country.”
The denomination expanded
when Churches of Christ
joined it in 1981, followed by
Scottish Congregationalists
in 2000.

Please join us for more art fun and giggles during
October’s Exploring Art Together.
Thursday 27th October 10.30 - 12.30 at Swanage URC.
We will be making autumn leaf mandalas, creating
paper and leaf lanterns, painting, drawing, junk
modelling and basically having fun trying new arts and
crafts. All ages and all abilities very welcome.
If you have any ‘junk’ for our junk modelling, glass jars
for lantern making or can collect some pretty autumn
leaves that would be amazing. If you have any ideas or
skills you would be willing to share please talk to Lex or
Lynn.
