Donate to St James
When the church was closed, much of our usual income from collections and weddings ceased, but most of our
expenditure has to continue.
You can contribute to St James church funds via the Donate button below.
Notices
Services
From October we will have 4 services every month in St James and 2 services each month in All Saints.
In months with 5 Sundays, there will be a Benefice Service in one of our churches
Virtual services on Zoom will continue on Sunday evenings, except 31 October, when there will be the All Souls
service in St James.
Details of all our services are on the Services
page.
Covid-19 precautions
To protect us all and more importantly to protect the vulnerable, we ask that face masks be worn whist
inside church.
Register on entering by scanning the QR code with the NHS Covid-19 smartphone app
or on the paper list (this is for track & trace - and will be destroyed after 21 days).
Please use the hand sanitiser on entry into church, before and after receiving communion.
Please be sensitive to those who may wish to socially distance. There will be orange cards at the back of
church to place beside you to alert others.
We are delighted that we have been able to reintroduce congregational singing - to ameliorate additional
risk we will ask you to retain your face mask whilst singing.
Communion (wafer only) will be administered – standing – from the Chancel steps.
There will be a Retiring collection – this avoids unnecessary movement and maintains social distancing
during the service.
We are not using any paper materials that have to be distributed and collected in; this is in accordance
with Church and Government guidance.
Private prayer
Our churches will be open for private prayer every day.
Worship at home
We will continue holding Sunday evening 6:30 Zoom services.
