The Revs Ali and Steve have left us, however life still goes on and St James' continues to be the dynamic, ground breaking place it has been for many years. The "interregnum" or gap between vicars, gives church members the chance to step into gaps and develop new skills. It means more guest speakers. St James'  has already welcomed its first guest speaker and developed its first "child worship group". 

Geoff Lumley was our first guest speaker. Geoff was a long standing member of St James, however moved to the countryside a few years ago. Geoff talked on John 7, 1-7. He also hosts regular walks in and around London, although his idea of hills and mud sometimes differs from that of the typical Londoner. 

The worship was led by an 11 year old. "H' used to be supported by the Rev Ali. She was offered support from adult members of the church, however chose an 8 year old to join her. And very good it was too! 

So life is very much continuing at St James!
