Our church will be closed on 13th March as we will be attending the licensing and installation of Reverend Christine Allen by The Right Reverend Simon Burton-Jones, Bishop of Tonbridge.Christine comes to us from St Margaret’s Rainham and is looking forward to joining us for new challenges, making new friends, spending some time on the river and seeing us from a different aspect!
During Lent we will be using a 'POT' to raise funds towards TOILET TWINNING! As many will be aware - we at St James are busy raising funds to install a toilet, a kitchenette and improve the access to the building. It has been estimated that the toilet alone will be upwards of £60,000.00 to have water/cess pit and toilet installed.To donate just £60.00 to an impoverished family's household latrine in a country of our choosing would provide an essential item to reduce infection, sickness and save on those medical bills that ensue following poor sanitation.
A time of prayers for our world, our country and our communitiesSongs to lift and inspire
