Upcoming events A wide variety of events is held at the Church every month.

The local congregation meet on the fourth Sunday of the month at 10.45am to which you are warmly invited. All other Sundays we worship at the Methodist Church just round the corner on Victoria Road, two minutes walk past the shops. Junior Church is provided at all services. Our services help us to celebrate the joy and love we have in knowing God through Jesus Christ. We sing traditional and modern hymns accpmpanied by the pipe organ. We thank God for His goodness, explore the Bible reading for the day, and find great peace and hope in Jesus. We pray for the world and those in our hearts and celebrate Communion at regular intervals. The local congregation, worshipping with the Methodists on Sunday at 10.45am, meet at the URC on the fourth Sunday of the month (Junior Church is also provided during this service) and at the Methodist Church in Victoria Road, Diss, on other Sundays. A warm welcome is given to visitors from all Christian traditions and to those from none, and an open invitation is offered to any who might care to join them. For a daily Bible reading, reflection and prayer see “Worship and Spirituality” on the national web page urc.org.uk.
