 Catering for Sunday Services
A big thank you to all who have provided cakes for the young people
following the evening service. We would be so grateful if you could continue with this. In the Vestibule there is a diary where you can put your name against a date that would be convenient for you to provide these. If you would like to help bake or even help to serve on a Sunday evening please speak to Jan Pembery.

 
 
 Children

Jesus places an extraordinary high value on children. Here at St. James we try to do the same by including them as much as possible.
Following the worship time at the beginning of the service, we invite all the children to the front for a special ‘kids talk’. Please feel free to accompany them if they are a little shy! Then Pre-school to 14yrs go upstairs for Sunday School (J Squad). 

There is a soundproof crèche at the back of the church for babies and very young children and someone will be available to look after them if you wish. Alternatively, if you would like to stay with them the service is relayed through an audio link. (All our leaders have CRB disclosures

Leprosy Mission

Thank you for continuing to save your used stamps for Leprosy Mission. I've noticed that they also collect postcards (GB and foreign, posted or unused); coins and bank notes; (so if you have any money left over from your holidays abroad etc. they could put it to good use) cigarette cards (only people of a certain age will know what these are!!!); old matchboxes; and medals. So -- have a look in your drawers and lofts and see what you can come up with!! Marion Allen.

A “loop” system is available in this building. Those with hearing
aids should switch to “T” setting to make use of this facility.
