Worship

From the 6th August 2023 we will be worshipping as Newland Church.  Worship in Newland Church can accessed on both our sites, LU5 4NT in Dunstable and LU2 9TE in Luton, on the first three Sundays of the month and on one site on the fourth and fifth Sundays of the month.  Please see the worship plan on the church worship page.

We hope that most Sundays a short biblical reflection will be posted on this website for those who wish to reflect in their own home this can be accessed on the Sunday Reflections page

If you cannot physically attend worship then Daily Devotions from the United Reformed Church offers Sunday services at 10am in both a written and audio format. It will have a radio-style feel with well-known URC people leading worship. Access the devotions here: bit.ly/URCdevotions

Richard Rohr's prayer for a community

Contemplative Richard Rohr sends out a daily contemplation from the Centre for Action and Contemplation, a widespread community which shares and explores together the contemplative nature of life.

Prayer for Our Community:
O Great Love, thank you for living and loving in us and through us. May all that we do flow from our deep connection with you and all beings. Help us become a community that vulnerably shares each other’s burdens and the weight of glory. Listen to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our world. [Please add your own intentions.] . . . Knowing you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer these prayers in all the holy names of God, amen.

Listen to Fr. Richard read the prayer.
