- Regular Services
Sunday
Morning Service
St James is a church committed to serving the whole family. Our service pattern reflects this. We run a staffed creche and a full programme for 3-14 year-olds during the service. We usually begin with everyone together in the Church, with children and young people leaving for their activities in the Village Hall after 15 minutes or so. We also have several "all-age" services during the year, as well as a number of Church family lunches. All are warmly invited to stay for coffee after the service.
Every Sunday at 10:00 AM for 1 hour
