Services
All Services at St James' Church are after the orders
in Common Worship.
We welcome anyone to join us for these occasions, or just to come and
use the church space for personal prayer and quiet reflection.
On Sundays, Mass (8.00 a.m.) is a quiet,
reflective service, lasting about thirty-five minutes, with a short
sermon and Holy Communion.
There is no music or exchanging of the Peace.
Parish Mass (Eucharist or Holy Communion,
10.00 a.m.) is at the heart of
St James’ life and witness - incorporating a sermon by the priest
or visiting preacher. Our worship is enriched by the use of vestments,
incense and good congregational music. A choir is present on special
occasions.
Lasting about one hour and ten minutes.
There is an opportunity afterwards to meet socially over
tea and coffee.
The Sunday School meets in St James’
Church Hall (corner of Prebend Street and Packington Street) at 10.00
a.m. in school term time and joins the congregation at the Peace or
in time for Communion. An 'All Age Service' is held on the first Sunday
of the month when the children take a full part in the worship.
Children are welcome at all Services - if your young child
is restless, we really don’t mind. Please, don’t take your
little ones out of Church – you may use the Vicar’s Vestry
where there are toys to play with.
Other Services
Baptism (Christening),
Confirmation, Marriage,
Funeral, and Thanksgivings
can be arranged in consultation with the Vicar who will be pleased to
advise you.
Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
If you are anxious or concerned about anything, a meeting to talk with
a priest can always be arranged.
Visitation of the Sick and Ministry of Healing
Holy Communion is taken every Friday to the sick or house-bound and
we are glad to take the sacrament to any who would value it. St James’
frequently combines with other local congregations for an ecumenical
Healing Service.
Other dates and events
Throughout the year, St James' holds special services
to mark important anniversaries in the Church
year and ecumenical services.
Details of all these are included in the St James' Calendar.
