Sunday afternoon continues to be our main gathering for families. There is a ‘Together’ service at 3.30pm in term times, and once a month it becomes ‘Messy Church’.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to worship and grow in Christ safely is very important at St James's Church.
Sunday All Age Worship
The All Age Service is a regular term time informal family friendly service, and is held at 3.30pm on Sundays.
Ark Playgroup
St James's Ark is a playgroup for carers and under fives which is Christian based and non-educational. It is an important Christian outreach to the children and adults alike.
Schools
St James's has an active relationship with the local schools who are always welcomed into the church.
Small groups and sometimes whole year groups visit to learn about the church to help with their Religious Education work.
The local schools are welcomed for their own special services, especially their Christmas Carol Services.
The clergy visit schools and occasionally take assemblies.
Uniformed Groups
Although they are not strictly Church organisations, being 'open groups', St James's has an active relationship with the uniformed groups who are always welcomed into the church.
The scouts generally help with the autumn leaf sweep and gutter clearance.
The scouts always support the Remembrance Day 11am service at the war memorial in the churchyard, forming a guard of honour with their flags.
