10:00am – Midweek Communion (Every Wednesday)

It has been a challenging time at St James’ since the pandemic. Our regular congregation has reduced to 4-6 people at a usual service and the PCC now has only 5 members. There is a huge pressure on those who are involved to carry out all the duties required of a church and to maintain regular worship. We are so pleased that the few do so much, but it is not sustainable. In light of this the PCC has decided that instead of offering two regular services a month, as we have done for some time, we are going to focus instead on special services as and when they fit the Church’s year.

Please do look out for more information through the weekly and monthly bulletins. Claire
