The Easter Question?
Wikipedia says “Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically.” Who do you think Jesus was?

On Good Friday, there will be a short service of reflection on the dark […]

Love February?
I saw a cheesy rom-com movie recently which had the line “love is a verb”. Instead of buying overpriced roses this Valentine’s day (14 Feb), we could all do something for our loved ones, like make a cup of tea, clean out the hamster cage or even something as simple as tidy-up. In February, we […]

A Time to Remember
In October, the 50th Anniversary of the URC was celebrated. 1972 seems like ancient history or not that long ago, depending on your age. Everyone enjoyed looking back with photos and happy memories. At Cores End, we had a quiz supper night and a splendid anniversary cake. Thank you to the quizmasters, cooks and everyone […]
a time for reflection
There are many times of reflection throughout our lives. This last week, many people have been focused on that one amazing individual, Queen Elizabeth II and found various ways to show their respect. At the same time, we continue to have good and bad news of our own. Personal bereavement is different for everyone and […]
