At St James' Church we have Parish Communion every second, fourth and fifth Sunday in the month. The service starts at 10.30am. All ages are welcome at this service but we do have two children's groups for ages 4-9 and 10-14 that start in the Church and then leave to the Church Hall for fun games and activities.
