Parish Communion Service

Occuring

Venue
St James The Great

High Wych Road High Wych Sawbridgeworth, CM21 0JB, United Kingdom

At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.

At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.

We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.

We love to welcome anyone to our Sunday services so please do come along!

We are delighted to say that we will once again be holding our traditional festival and would like to thank everyone for your amazing support in the past. We are grateful to High Wych School and The Rivers Hospital for once again lending car parking space.

Scarecrows - Anyone can make a scarecrow and there is no set theme. This can be placed in High Wych Road or High Wych Lane up to the Manor of Groves. You do not need to live in one of these roads to make one.

The only reserved areas are outside The Memorial Hall, the green triangle by Chandini’s and both sides of the road at the end of Broadfields.

Characters can be made out of straw or any other material such as wood or metal. Although we have brilliant creations something simple that has been lovingly made is equally special.

The Scarecrows should be erected on Thursday 5th September and removed on Wednesday 11th September and if you would like your scarecrow entered into the competition, it should be in position by 10 a.m. on Friday so a photo can be taken. Ian, our village postman will be helping with the judging combined with the public vote.

If you would like a STALL please contact Kate Clark on [email protected] for a booking form.

In ST. JAMES CHURCH this year the mini bugs will be gathering in the form of grasshoppers, beetles, snails, grasshoppers, ladybirds etc. At the back of the church there is plenty of wool for people to take plus various knitting patterns, we need at least 400, and there is also a box of material. The church is open from 9 – 4 pm every day. Please return any made items to the back of church by Wednesday 28th August.

With our grateful thanks to everyone for entering into the community spirit.
