We welcome everybody to St James Church and will always try our best to help you feel comfortable and welcome. We have a service every Sunday at 10.30am and will have refreshments after the service. There are always activities/toys for young children and we welcome the distracting sound of children playing/crying during the service. We run a stay and play toddler group during term times and hold regular events such as a Spring plants plus, Pancake evening, Christmas Fayre and more. We also contribute to the local food bank with donations taken from members of the congregation and members of the public.
