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.

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.

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 19 May – and it will be a special occasion, as it will be the Club’s 71st Birthday! The Mayor of Rushcliffe, Cllr Debbie Mason, will be attending and this will be the fourth time that she has visited our church in her current year of office. The service will be led by The Rt Revd Dr Andrew Emerton, Bishop of Sherwood.

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.

There will be no 9:30 am service on this day.
