For 21 June 2020

June 19, 2020 by Craig Muir

This was meant to be a quieter week. I was due to be away at Summer School, a time to meet up with other Ministers, a time when we learn together but also socialise, catch up with friends, relax a little, be refreshed. But like so many things it ended up online and so we … [Read more…]

It is now almost three months since we were able to meet together in our church buildings and whilst various activities are opening up, the advice from the United Reformed Church is to be in no rush to open.

Sunday 24 May  Sixth Sunday after Easter

May 22, 2020 by Craig Muir

I wrote last week about the way in which this time has created a new routine in the way I work. But routines can’t last for ever and already it’s time to change to a new pattern. Throughout June we are going to join with churches across the city in praying for Coventry. This is … [Read more…]

How to find the building

St. Columba’s is situated on St. Columba’s Close, CV1 4BX, but you might find it easier to find us from St. Nicholas Street, as you drive towards the Canal Basin. If you are walking from the City Centre then cross the ring road over the Canal Basin Bridge and head straight up the hill. The church is on the left hand side.
