At the first Church meeting of this ministry, a decision was taken to accept the Scheme of Union which led to the formation of the United Reformed Church on 5 October 1972. The Tercentenary Anniversary Services were held on June 10th 1973 and followed by a month of special events. Elders started sharing in the pastoral care of the Fellowship. The Manse in Westfield Road was sold and replaced by a smaller one in Grange Close. The Cowbridge Ramblers came into existence and walked the Essex Way (59 miles). 85 new members joined the Fellowship.
