With effect from the first Sunday in January 2024, Sue Waterston will be leading this service on the first Sunday of each month. You are very welcome to join us for this informal service, and have a cup of coffee afterwards.

The church’s AGM will be held immediately after the service, which will be a service of Morning Prayer, led by Sue Waterston. Prior to then, please give some thought about volunteering to join our PCC. Please feel free to speak to any member of our PCC – Brian Archbold, Sue Archbold, Claire Fisher, Sue James or Susan Taylor. All are welcome to come along to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, to find out what we have achieved over the last year and our plans for the future.

It is good to meet together, and each week we have enjoyed hearing the bells being rung before the services – so, many thanks to Shirley Barnett and her team of volunteer ringers. We are now meeting in the Chancel, which is much easier to heat! We are serving coffee & biscuits after our services, giving us the opportunity to chat! All are welcome to join us.

We will be holding a Taizé-style service on Tuesday 19 May at 6 pm. You are very welcome to come along to these quiet and meditative services, using some of the lovely Taizé music, with readings and quiet stillness.

Once a year, the Soar Boating Club celebrates its birthday with a special weekend, which includes a service in St James Church at 11 am. This year, the service will be on Sunday 7th June, led by The Revd Simon Richardson – and it will be the Club’s 73rd Birthday! As usual, the Mayor of Rushcliffe will be invited.

After the service, the Soar Boating Club kindly invites the congregation to the Boat Club for a buffet lunch. You would be very welcome to join us.
