Worship is Word and Sacrament

Banner for the United Reformed Church titled “Theology of Worship Group.” On the left, a black cross and blue fish symbol appear beside the words “The United Reformed Church.” In the center, the main heading “Theology of Worship Group” is written in large blue text, with the subtitle “exploring the practice and nature of worship today” in smaller italic black text beneath it. On the right, a blue triangular panel contains three stacked buttons labeled “Exploring,” “Reflecting,” and “Living.” The overall design uses a white background with blue accents and clean, modern typography.
Here is the full text from the image, written out clearly: *** **Worship is Word and Sacrament** Speaker - Revd Dr Elaine Colechin, URC minister who becomes Synod Clerk of the Southern Synod in July 2026. Elaine writes, “There is a strand of our tradition that feels that worship is not worship without the community both gathering around the Word and the Table. Why? What difference does the sacrament make? We will consider these questions and how it might inform our thinking as a denomination as many of our churches wrestle with who can preside at the table.” Date: Thursday 13ᵗʰ August 2026 Time: 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. via Zoom If you have not yet registered with the Theology of Worship Group and wish to attend this meeting, please contact John Burgess by 7 August: john@spiritualseekers.co.uk
