Midweek Eucharist with Anointing of Holy Oil

Every Wednesday at for 40 mins
St James the Great
Church Lane Chapelthorpe Wakefield, WF4 3JG, United Kingdom

All are welcome to attend our midweek Eucharist (Holy Communion). This service is known as a Said Service which means there will be no hymns or singing. This means that usually the service is shorter than a Sunday Eucharist. At the end of the service you may wish to be anointed with healing oils and receive a blessing from the priest.

After the service there is the option to stay in church for approximately an hour for an informal relaxed Bible Study.
