Why Is Good Friday Good?
God is holy and his holiness is incompatible with sin. Humans are sinful and our sin separates us from God. The punishment for sin is eternal death. But human death and animal sacrifices are insufficient to atone for sin. Atonement requires a perfect, spotless sacrifice, offered in just the right way.
Jesus Christ was the one and only perfect God-man. His death provided the perfect atoning sacrifice for sin. Only through him can our sins be forgiven. When we accept Jesus Christ's payment for sin, he washes away our sin and restores our right standing with God. God's mercy and grace make salvation possible and we receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
This is why Good Friday is good.

St James Westhead

We worship every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.  Children & young people are welcome at all of our services.  Our Under 18s leadership team provide age appropriate learning at Jaffa, Jesus And Friends is Fun for All, an activity area for younger children allows them to be in church close to their accompanying adult or they can join in with the congregation.  The service is recorded and normally available to view on youTube by 2 p.m. following the service.

Our Tuesday evening Prayer in the Evening and LIFE discussion groups run on Zoom, ESOL classes for Ukrainian guests take place at church on Thursdays, church is open for Coffee & Chat every Saturday morning and community gardening group also takes place on Saturday mornings.  Details for all of these can be found on A Church Near You or on our Facebook page.  

St James' is a friendly, welcoming church.  As individuals we purposefully seek to grow in our spiritual life.  Together, we strive to be a key part of our local community by sharing Jesus' love through word and action and we work closely with Westhead St James Church of England Primary School which is in the village.
