Sunday at 4pm. A time for reflection and a call for peace

More on Ukraine.
Since Maidenhead and Marlow URCs started our Aid for Ukraine project in February 2022, we have sent 16 truckloads of donations to Poland, the last one left on 19 of May. We are now collecting donations for our next lorry which will leave around 11 August.
In addition to collecting donations, we have run a number of fund-raising events including three Gigs for Ukraine by the Gill Love band at which we raised over £2000 and four concerts by Ukulele Mondays which raised £4,500 in total.

Our worship continues to follow a mixed pattern of both in-person and Zoom services, with Zoom normally on third Sundays. For more details scroll on down to Worship with Us

Christ Church has become the first church in Marlow registered to offer full marriage services to same sex couples. As our then Minister,
Rev David Downing, said at the time: I am delighted that the church has voted with a clear majority to offer this service. We see it as a way of showing that God’s love is for all." Read full press release

We are still taking orders for engraved pavers for the Walk of Life, a disabled-friendly brick path through our garden. Why not mark a special occasion or commemorate a loved one by having your 'own' brick engraved with your
message. For details and how to apply, click here.

Our garden is a place where anyone can come and sit and enjoy some peace and quiet. We have held Easter services and Christmas Carol Services there and it is also where we hold our weekly vigils for the people of Ukraine on Sundays at 4pm. All are welcome to join us.
Worship with us
Every week our church offers the chance to worship, but in different ways and sometimes different places.
-
We normally have a fairly traditional form of worship that lasts just under an hour on Sunday mornings at 10:30. This is followed by refreshments. Everyone is welcome to come and join us.
-
Please note that you won’t be expected to do anything you’d rather not do, there is no money offering in the service (although donations can be taken), and simple guidelines such as ‘Please be seated’ (for example) are given throughout the service.
-
On the third Sunday of the month we offer a Zoom service to help those housebound, away on holiday, or just simply for those who prefer it. Feel free to e-mail the church secretary for the Zoom link.
-
On the fifth Sunday of the month we do something special with one of our sister churches. If no update is showing here, please check our Facebook page.
-
We have extra worship around special events around Easter, Christmas and other times.
​
-
And sometimes we worship in different ways such as the special jazz service we held in June.
-
There will be occasional Sundays when we will be worshipping at one of the other churches in our Pastorate (ie Bracknell, Maidenhead or Windsor URC) so please do check the worship diary in our Magazine.

Who we are and what we believe
Christ Church is a local congregation of the United Reformed Church (URC).
Since February 2024 we have been in a 'joint pastorate' with St Paul’s URC, Bracknell, Maidenhead URC and Christ Church URC, Windsor.
We have recently called a new Minister, Rev Chris Parker, who will serve all four churches. Rev Parker will take up his new post at the end of August.
We are full and active members of Churches Together in Marlow and have strong connections with Marlow Methodist Church.

You can read more about us, our history, the URC and what we believe in here.
