Welcome to worship at Wooler URC. Praying is hard. No-one ever said it would be easy. It’s fine when the sun is shining, everything in life is going well and all is right with the world. But what about when it’s not. How do you pray when everything’s gone wrong and you’re at the end […]

Welcome to worship at Wooler URC. Writing about the Lord’s Prayer recently, the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said this: “In less than 70 words, Jesus gives us a prayer to learn by heart and a prayer that gets inside our hearts… It’s a challenging prayer and when we say this prayer together we become […]

In our worship this Sunday, we journey to Capernaum to spend a day with Jesus. As we watch how he ministers to people and interacts with them, we ask ourselves, what do His actions teach us as Christians? Martin and Fliss will guide us through some of the events that happened and introduce us to […]

To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never held a sword, or at least, not a real one. If I did, I really wouldn’t know how to handle it or how to use it properly – I’d probably be more of a danger to myself than any enemy I might confront! To be of any […]

“These boots are made for walking” was a hit song for Nancy Sinatra in 1966, and over the decades there has been much speculation as to what the song is about. There’s no doubt about the purpose of the shoes (or boots) that Paul describes as an essential part of God’s armour – they are […]

The Helmet of Salvation. Unless we ride a bike or work on a construction site, we probably don’t wear a helmet very often. Yet in his letter to the Christians in Ephesus, Paul includes the ‘helmet of salvation’ as an essential part of the armour of God. That helmet is a sign that shows we […]

Our armoury is building up nicely! In this week’s look at chapter 6 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Joyce and Paulette think about what it means to ‘hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil’. How can we do that when we face tests and trials of every […]

We’re in week two of our look at Paul’s instruction to the church in Ephesus to ‘put on every piece of God’s armour’. This Sunday Bill is leading our service, and invites us to wear the breastplate of righteousness, but what exactly does that mean? As a piece of armour, the breastplate is vital and […]
Wooler URC Livestream – Sunday 1 September 2024
This Sunday we start our new, six-week series which draws from chapter 6 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This letter is one of Paul’s most magnificent epistles, and is an encouragement to the Christians in Ephesus. Christians there were living at the heart of a pagan society, so firstly Paul reminds them of God’s […]
