What Events and Weekly Activities Are Listed on the Bush Hill Park URC Website?

Bush Hill Park URC (bhpurc.org.uk) lists its regular activities through a dated calendar on the homepage, supplemented by newsletter posts. The calendar shows recurring weekly events — Sunday worship, three Boys' Brigade sections, a Toddler Group, and Coffee Time — alongside one-off items such as Harvest and Communion services. If you want to know what happens on a given day, the calendar is the primary place to look; the newsletter posts add context and reports rather than schedules.

Regular weekly activities

The homepage calendar shows these recurring entries:

All activities are listed at Bush Hill Park URC as the venue.

Worship services and special dates

Sunday worship runs 10:30–11:30. The calendar distinguishes between ordinary worship and special services:

• Harvest Worship — 27 September, led by Lynda Cook
• Communion Worship — 4 October, led by Margaret & Stuart Jenkins

The pattern suggests the 10:30 Sunday slot is fixed, while the theme and leader change week to week. Checking the calendar for a specific Sunday tells you what kind of service to expect.

Boys' Brigade sections

The Boys' Brigade appears in three age-based sections, all on weekday evenings:

• Anchors — Friday, 18:00–19:15 (youngest)
• Juniors — Monday, 18:15–19:45
• Company Section — Monday, 19:30–21:35 (oldest, latest finish)

Note that Juniors and Company Section run back-to-back on Mondays, while Anchors is on a separate day. If you are checking for a specific age group, match the section name rather than the day alone.

Midweek groups

Two daytime activities run midweek:

• Toddler Group — Wednesday, 10:00–11:15
• Coffee Time — Thursday, 10:30–12:00

Both are morning sessions. The calendar lists them as recurring weekly entries, so they are the most predictable midweek options.

Newsletters and recent news

The site also posts newsletters, which carry reports and reviews rather than schedules:

• October newsletter — includes a book club review on page 14
• September newsletter — includes a report on the Boys' Brigade Camp
• July and August newsletter — includes a Pastorate Prayer review on page 9

These are useful for background on what the church has been doing, but for planning a visit you should rely on the calendar dates.

How to check a specific date

1. Open the homepage at bhpurc.org.uk.
2. Find the calendar section, which shows a month view with dated entries.
3. Locate the day you are interested in — events appear under that date with a start and end time.
4. If a date shows "No Events," nothing is scheduled for that day.
5. For recurring activities, confirm the day of the week matches (for example, Toddler Group on Wednesdays).

The calendar covers dates into 2026, so you can check ahead rather than only the current week.

What the site does not tell you

The homepage does not state whether activities are open to visitors, whether there is a cost, or whether you need to register in advance. The welcome text describes an open fellowship, but that is not the same as confirming drop-in access for every group. If you are considering attending a specific activity — particularly the Toddler Group or Boys' Brigade, which often have practical requirements — contact the church directly rather than assuming you can simply turn up.
