Downing Place United Reformed Church

It was great to have you all here @DowningPlace

We’re really looking forward to hosting this next week; do come along. #findyourplace

A reminder: our concert will be at Pembroke Auditorium tomorrow; Wednesday 10th April, 1.15pm (slight change in time to allow people to make their way from Downing Place). Refreshments will be available at Downing Place URC afterwards as usual. #findyourplace #cambridgeconcert

For 1 week only our Lunchtime Concert is going on tour! We're going about 5 mins away, back to what was Emmanuel URC & is now the Pembroke Auditorium. Join us as we enjoy Tim Palmer + Chris Dexter-Mills performing Schubert's 'Winterreise' & the auditorium.

Our kind + talented Junior Church created colourful crosses, members of our pastoral care group bought plants & the two were put together to decorate the church steps on Easter morning. They were then collected by our elders + pastoral visitors & whisked off to their new owners.

Over the Easter bank-holiday plants were delivered to those members of our congregation who we especially wanted to let know we were thinking of them. Out of sight definitely doesn't mean out of mind here at Downing Place URC. #findyourplace #eastergift #eastercross

It looks like the Easter Bunny slipped into the concert this afternoon and left a donation for our cause of the month, Phoenix Trust in Milton!🐰 #findyourplace

Penny Flynn will lead our service at 11am tomorrow morning. Do come along, refreshments will be available afterwards. #findyourplace

Tomorrow our concert will be given by Irena Radic on the piano. A retiring collection will be taken for @phoenix_trust a local charity working with young people & adults with learning difficulties. Doors open around 12.30 & refreshments will be available afterwards #findyourplace

On Easter Sunday, in a service full of alleluias both loud and soft, the tomb stone was rolled back and we heard the good news; He is risen! #findyourplace #eastergarden #easterday

Gather here for a communion service on Easter Day; 11am Sunday 31st March; a time to rejoice and be glad in the good news! #findyourplace #Easterday #CambridgeEaster

You will be so welcome here tomorrow as @cambridgevoices sing Music for Holy Week. There will be music by Gesualdo, Luython, Whitacre and Mendelssohn. It will be a time to reflect. Saturday 30th March, 4pm, Downing Place URC #findyourplace #holyweek #HolySaturday

Tomorrow morning, at 10.15am, we are hosting the Cambridge Free Churches service for Good Friday. Gather here as we remember the day Jesus died upon the cross. Following the service we will walk to Market Square for an ecumenical Act of Witness. All are welcome. #goodfriday

Thankyou to all those involved, to everyone who came and for all the donations for Sallymay School in Sierra Leone. 🪐🎶✨🌑🌕 #findyourplace #spaceexplorers #holstplanetsuite #cambridgeconcerts

Wow; our journey through space, care of Ian de Massini’s arrangement of Holst’s Planet Suite, was a trip we won’t forget quickly! Many of the 147 people in the audience were transfixed as we were entertained with music, spoken word & images #findyourplace #cambridgeconcerts

We're holding a communion service for Maundy Thursday tomorrow at 11am, would you like to join us? You'd be very welcome. Come to the Hub (through the cast iron gates on Downing Place) & we'll go through to the sanctuary just before the service starts #maundythursday #lastsupper

Who's ready for a trip around the solar system (as known by Holst in 1914-17)? Come & listen to The Planets by Holst, played on the organ by Ian de Massini; tomorrow, 27th March, 1pm at Downing Place URC. It's going to be out of this world! #findyourplace #cambridgeconcerts
