Mersey Synod October 2026

On Saturday 10th October, representatives from churches across Mersey Synod came together for our October Synod Meeting, offering a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, welcome new faces and strengthen relationships across our church community.

While each of our churches has its own identity and place within its local community, our Synod meetings remind us that we are part of a wider church family, united by our shared faith and commitment to serving God.

The gathering provided an opportunity to meet new members of Synod staff, share experiences and hear different perspectives from across our churches. Alongside the formal business, moments of fellowship and conversation helped strengthen the connections that make our Synod community so valuable.

We were also delighted to announce the winners of our Christmas Card Competition, celebrating the creativity and contributions of those who took part.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the day. We hope to continue encouraging churches of all sizes to get involved, share their experiences and play an active role in the life of Mersey Synod.

Our next Synod Meeting will take place on Saturday 13th March 2027, with further details about the venue, program and booking arrangements to follow.

We look forward to welcoming everyone again as we continue growing together in faith, friendship and service.

Faith in Action: Life Across Our Churches

Harvest Support Port Sunlight

Harvest Supper at Christ Church, Port Sunlight
Christ Church, Port Sunlight United Reformed Church came together to celebrate the harvest season with a special Harvest Supper, bringing members of the congregation and wider church community together in a spirit of fellowship and thanksgiving. The occasion provided a wonderful opportunity to share food, enjoy one another's company and reflect on the importance of gratitude, generosity and supporting those around us. Events like these are a lovely reminder of how our churches continue to bring people together, strengthen friendships and share God's love through hospitality and community spirit.
Macclesfield and Bollington United Reformed Church World Harvest Festival

Macclesfield and Bollington United Reformed Church welcomed local residents, refugees and community representatives to its World Harvest Festival on Saturday 10th October.
Despite the stormy weather, the event celebrated culture, friendship and community, with refugees from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe sharing their heritage through creative workshops, music, dance and traditional food. Activities included Ukrainian block painting, Tai Chi, a lively concert and a community feast, with Brazilian Forró dancing bringing the celebrations to a close.
Supported by Mersey Synod, the festival was a wonderful celebration of diversity, inclusion and togetherness, strengthening friendships and connections across the local community.
Higher Bebington Road URC Supports Wirral Foodbank

Higher Bebington Road United Reformed Church has proved that even the smallest congregations can make a big difference, raising an impressive £670 for Wirral Foodbank and the Teams 4U Shoebox Appeal. With just nine members, the church organised a successful Coffee and Sale event on Saturday 24th October, supported by family, friends and the wider community. Visitors enjoyed refreshments, homemade cakes, bric-a-brac and second-hand clothing, all while supporting two worthwhile causes.
A fantastic achievement and a wonderful example of faith in action, demonstrating how even small churches can make a meaningful difference in their communities.
