May you keep safe and well through these days and know the presence and love of God in Jesus Christ is with you.
Lord God,
In the course of these uncertain days we turn to you,
for we are navigating unfamiliar waters.
Be close to us, that we may make, by your directing,
safe passage through the rapids and shallows of life
and enter the harbour of your realm and in the company of all creation,
berth alongside in the haven of your Kingdom.

Ours was the first Church in Verwood, founded in 1802 when some fearless missionaries came from Ringwood hoping to tame and convert the wild heathen on the heath! We were joined over the years by other Churches with whom we have an excellent relationship in Churches Together in Verwood. Our present building dates from 1906 with major improvements in 2000. The previous building is next to us; after the new Church was built it became the local school and is now the Library. We were originally known as an Independent Church, later Congregational and since 1972 a United Reformed Church which also includes Presbyterian and Church of Christ traditions. The United Reformed Church is a Protestant Christian church in the United Kingdom. It has approximately 46,500 members in 1,383 congregations with 608 active ministers, including 13 church related community workers.
