Helpful Suggestions

1. Identify a subject that may interest your local church, or one on which you would like your church to be better informed.

 

2. Suggest to the minister and elders that the church focuses on this, either at Sunday worship or at a weekday meeting. Don’t worry if the listed Sunday is not free; you can choose another date convenient to you.

 

3. Obtain background information and/or worship resources via the website address given. In each case we have given just one link which will lead you to others.

 

4.Select material that is appropriate for you. The URC specifically supports some of the causes listed, but not all, and inclusion of a particular link does not give it a URC "imprimatur".
