The aims of the Guild are six-fold:

• To improve the quality of music in Divine Worship in our Churches.
• To give members an opportunity for worship at their meetings.
• To pool experience, provide training opportunities and foster discussion of common problems by means of meetings and conferences (more)
  

Children in church is the title of an event that Frances Novillo is leading at Emmanuel URC in West Wickham on 7th July 2012 for all those adults who lead music in church with children, not only junior choirs and bands, but also youth clubs, Bible study groups, Sunday School and creche. Many of these adults would not necessarily consider themselves musical but find themselves singing and making music with the children, and this workshop aims to support them and build their confidence and repertoire. Do encourage them to attend!

The URC Musicians' Guild was formed at the time of formation of the United Reformed Church in 1972, when the former Congregational and Presbyterian Guilds were amalgamated. It was first called the United Reformed Church Guild of Organists and Choirmasters but the name was changed in 1985 to reflect the growing use of instruments other than organs to accompany worship in the URC.
