For 1 week only our Lunchtime Concert is going on tour! We're going about 5 mins away, back to what was Emmanuel URC & is now the Pembroke Auditorium. Join us as we enjoy Tim Palmer + Chris Dexter-Mills performing Schubert's 'Winterreise' & the auditorium.

Our kind + talented Junior Church created colourful crosses, members of our pastoral care group bought plants & the two were put together to decorate the church steps on Easter morning. They were then collected by our elders + pastoral visitors & whisked off to their new owners.

[Downing Place United Reformed Church @Downing_Place]

Over the Easter bank-holiday plants were delivered to those members of our congregation who we especially wanted to let know we were thinking of them.

Out of sight definitely doesn't mean out of mind here at Downing Place URC.

It looks like the Easter Bunny slipped into the concert this afternoon and left a donation for our cause of the month, Phoenix Trust in Milton!🐰

On Easter Sunday, in a service full of alleluias both loud and soft, the tomb stone was rolled back and we heard the good news; He is risen!

Wow; our journey through space, care of Ian de Massini’s arrangement of Holst’s Planet Suite, was a trip we won’t forget quickly! Many of the 147 people in the audience were transfixed as we were entertained with music, spoken word & images #findyourplace #cambridgeconcerts

[Downing Place United Reformed Church @Downing_Place]

We're holding a communion service for Maundy Thursday tomorrow at 11am, would you like to join us? You'd be very welcome. Come to the Hub (through the cast iron gates on Downing Place) & we'll go through to the sanctuary just before the service starts

Who's ready for a trip around the solar system (as known by Holst in 1914-17)?
Come & listen to The Planets by Holst, played on the organ by Ian de Massini;
tomorrow, 27th March, 1pm at Downing Place URC.
It's going to be out of this world!

Members of our Junior Church made an Easter Garden on Sunday; isn't it lovely? You will be able to find it in the Hub until Saturday and then in the church on Sunday.
