The Ministers, Children & Youth Pastors, and Elders of Witham United Reformed Church condemn all forms of racism and will not tolerate any form of racist behaviour or language. We stand with our Black friends in calling for a complete end to all forms of racial discrimination and injustice, and will not stop until this is achieved.
We believe BLACK LIVES MATTER!

World Day of Prayer 5th March 2021
The annual World Day of Prayer service in Witham was due to take place on 5th March at the URC but obviously that cannot now happen. Instead we have taken the plunge and are organising a Zoom service at 5.30pm on the day. The link is below. People are asked to join from 5.20 so that we are ready at 5.30 but they can still join later. If people would like a service booklet Fenella Hardie can organise distribution or they can be downloaded from the website www.wwdp.org.uk. Even if people can't join on Zoom they can read through the service on their own.
Message from Paul Ellis former Minister
Do not be afraid. Message from Paul Ellis former Minister of Witham URC.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
