Welcome to Nailsea URC
Dear Friends
Dear Friends,
Jesus wants you and me, His disciples, to live in a place of rest, a place of connection, a place of peace. His last gift to us was a gift of peace. His words, recorded in John 14 v 27, say, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Jesus then tells His disciples that He is going away, but will send another friend, the Holy Spirit, to be with them. They will not be orphaned but rather comforted. Living in rest can involve choice. Think about Mary and Martha - Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and enjoy His presence (Luke 10 v 38-42). Martha was distracted by unnecessary tasks. She had welcomed Jesus into her home and made Him comfortable, but she missed out on relaxing with Him, which was what Mary, her sister, had experienced. Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen, while Mary was hanging on every word Jesus spoke. And Mary was commended for having made the better choice!
Mission Projects
Sharing God's Love in a practical way has always been our aim, whether that be overseas or in our local community. We support overseas mission projects via Commitment for Life. We also support Caring at Christmas, Children's Hospice South West, St Peter's Hospice, Nailsea Food Bank and other local community projects by raising funds through special events and offerings.

Becoming a Member of Nailsea URC
What's it all about?
Church Membership is the way in which Christians who have made their home in the local church are encouraged to express their commitment to that congregation of God’s people.
Who are they?
Well Church Members are not Super-Christians, just ordinary people who meet regularly to try and make sure that the continued life and witness of the church is in line with how God wants it to be. You can still be effective within the life of the church without being a member, but only members have a vote at Church Meeting, and are therefore the people who, as a body, make decisions.
