Christ Church Haydock URC has received a Mersey Synod Mission Fund Small grant to share God’s message through their Messy Church group. The church opens this to all families from the local community (primarily non-church families) to come along, spend quality time with each other doing crafts and activities, eating hot food together whilst listening to the Word of God. All of the sessions are based on a gospel theme.

Minister for Upton URC, Revd Ruth Wilson, offered a message of hope and prayer at the recent unveiling of a Tree of Life mosaic, to reflect upon and remember the lives of those who have died of Covid.

A group offering a welcoming space, support and outreach to the local community at Thomas Risley Church (TRC) has increased this mission work through a URC Mersey mission grant to develop a sensory space. This will allow them the equipment to run more activities and provide additional support for community members bringing more mission opportunities to demonstrate God's love and care.

The Allerton Junior Worship Group have achieved their URC Group Service in the Mission of God Award.

A restful outdoor space for the community has been created by Parkgate and Neston URC and opened by Revd Geoff Felton, Moderator, The United Reformed Church, Mersey Synod, with the Mayor of Neston, Pat Kynaston and local Councillor Martin Barker.

Caradoc Mission Community Church has been awarded a £2,500 mission grant for their community choir.

A community garden in the grounds of St John's URC has been awarded £2,288.00 from the Coop Membership Community Award Scheme.
