St James is open on Tuesday mornings at 10.30 for a short communion service. This is a lovely time to have some quietness and reflection in the middle of the week.
We also hold a service on Sunday morning at 10.15. This may be communion or morning prayer. The 4th Sunday is led by a Methodist minister and the 5th Sunday in the month is a team service with Emmanuel Church. The venue alternates on the 5th Sunday.
