St James' Church welcomes all. We have services starting at 10.30am on the first three Sundays each month, with the fourth Sunday rotating around the Shellrock benefice. The first and third Sundays alternative between Holy Communion and Morning Prayer. The second Sunday is Café Church, an all age service, with breakfast available from 9.30am. For more details on our services, please see our website, church noticeboard or porch door.
We have a monthly pop up café, typically the second Saturday. This is a friendly atmosphere and everyone is welcome for coffee, cake and conversation. Refreshments are by donation.
The church is open daily and visitors are welcome to call into the church for reflection or prayer. We have a library of books, fiction and non-fiction for both children and adults, and visitors are welcome to take one/some away or drop off. There is also a display board of local history information, changed approximately every 6 weeks.
