The United Reformed Church Chesham

We continually seek to make our worship the very best that we can offer to God. Worship is the responsibility of the Minister in conjunction with an effective Worship Committee. Our worship combines liveliness with thoughtfulness, using both traditional and modern hymns and worship resources. Music is normally accompanied by our Grade 1 listed pipe organ, or piano, and occasionally augmented with other instruments. We have a singing group who meet as needed and sometimes enhance our music too.

Other services and meditations are held during the year, notably on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday, often jointly with our friends from Trinity Baptist Church in Red Lion Street.

How does one take part in worship? Please take a seat and savour the silence or gathering music. Those who are able, are invited to stand during some parts of the worship (normally, at the start, the end and for singing), and whilst this is sometimes unannounced, the easiest way is to copy others around you. Listen actively whilst the words of the bible are read, and whilst the preacher discusses the application of this to our daily lives in the 'family talk' and the 'sermon'. Think about what chimes with you and what challenges you. You are encouraged to join in singing during the hymns (songs) and this is typically one of the main ways to respond and to actively take part in the worship.
