Parish Communion Service

Every Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
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!

St James The Great

Welcome to St James the Great, High Wych!

Our delightful and unusually small Victorian church was designed by C.E. Pritchett and consecrated in 1861. It has a number of interesting features including a round bell turret with a blue 'Bennet' clock, a richly decorated apse and a two-manual 'Father Willis' organ and is situated next to its C of E primary school, High Wych School, which was built at the same time.

As part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, we have a variety of services and events at all three of our buildings, and within our communities, so check out our 'Services' and Events' page to find out what on next at St James.

We're looking to see you there!
