Welcome to Bookham United Reformed Church
Thank you for visiting us. We hope that you will find the information you are looking for, and will contact us if there is anything else you would like to know.
 
Our church leader, David Our secretary, Sue
The Hearts and Minds series on the first Sunday evenings restarted on 7th June with 'Do all religions lead to God?' We looked at issues such as
What Biblical references claim Christianity to be ‘exclusive’ or is Christianity inclusive?
No religion has the whole truth, does it?
Surely there can’t be just one way to God?
Religion should be kept private.
All good people go to heaven – right?
Christians believe they know the only way to God. What about other religions?
How do religions differ in their beliefs about the nature of God?
It doesn’t matter what you believe so long as you are sincere.
Our next one is on 6th September. Join us if you can.

Elder Roger Wakeford has recently retired and hopes to fullfil and long standing ambition. He writes
'This summer I hope to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, which helps sufferers from MND and funds research into finding a cure. I shall attempt a sponsored motorbike ride across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver Island between July 27th and September 9th.
I expect to ride between three and four thousand miles – 200-300 miles a day for about twenty-two days, allowing for sightseeing, and passing through eight provinces. I plan to cover most of the distance on weekdays, staying at motels or with the many relatives who have invited me; the weekends will provide recovery time and the opportunity to make up inevitable delays; I am particularly concerned about high cross winds, which have quite an effect on my motorcycle when loaded with my luggage.
I have put sponsorship forms at the back of the church and in the entrance foyer; sponsors may opt to donate per mile (but bear in mind the possible mileage!), per province, per day, or a lump sum if I complete the ride.
I do hope you will feel able to support me in raising as much as I can to help the Motor Neurone Disease Society and sufferers from the disease. I also ask for your prayer support. '
We'd be delighted to see you if you can make it to one of our services, or to hear from you if you would like to get in touch.
David and Sue |
