Planning your Visit

New to St James'?

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet in the Church building for our Sunday Service starting at 10:00am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10 minutes early to find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by one of our sidespeople who will give you everything you need. 

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the sidespeople know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer, one of which has baby-changing facilities.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am. The service has hymns, readings from the bible, a 10-15 minute sermon, and a celebration of Holy Communion. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. We finish with a final hymn. 

What about my children?

Children are very welcome at all services at St James'. There is a mat with toys and books near the altar where young children can play with their parents during the service. We also have activities prepared for children of all ages in a part of the church called the 'transept' - up towards the altar and off to the left. Here children can explore the Bible stories set for the day, and respond by making things, or by playing freely with objects from the stories, using their imagination.

Getting more involved


Pilgrim Groups


While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Pilgrim Groups allows you to make new friends, share and reflect together, and pray together. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some during the day and some during the evening. Do contact a member of the clergy team about joining: they can put you in touch with one of the Pilgrim Group leaders, who will be delighted to invite you along to their group.
 

Serving and volunteering


There are always lots of opportunities to get more involved in church life, from reading or serving in church, to serving coffee afterwards, to volunteering at our Saturday morning social supermarket, or our Holiday Lunch Clubs. Please do chat to one of our team if you'd like to be involved.
