Wednesdays 10am Holy CommunionOne of the best kept secrets of St James! It's short (40mins), simple, reflective, and often scratches a spiritual itch at the right time. There is always something in the short homilies to be nourished by.
The service is followed by a cuppa for those that have the time. A great little midweek topup, especially for those working from home. |
Sundays 9am Holy CommunionA 1 hr liturgical led (from a booklet) service of Holy Communion, with traditional hymns either led by organ or piano.
Though the service has the liturgy to give structure, there is a degree of openness, and space for silence and the Holy Spirit. The sermon is usually part of a series on specific theme as per the 11am service. On the 3rd Sunday of each month the sermon is taken from one of the lectionary readings for the day. |
Sundays 11am Informal ServicesThe 11am service is an informal service for all ages, with groups running for both children and youth (see top of page).
The service is relaxed and interactive and open to the work of the Holy Spirit. The talk is usually party of series on a specific theme as per the 9am service. Sung worship combines contemporary song, with the occasional revamp or a classic hymn thrown into the mix, and is led by our worship band. Prayer ministry is usually available after each service. A Newcomers Welcome Team is on-hand to The 2nd Sunday of each month includes Communion. The 3rd Sunday of each month is the Social Service (see below). |
Social Service. Sundays 11amThe Social Service happens every 3rd Sunday at 11am.
Everyone of every age is in the church together, which is set up in a cafe style. There are board games, the Sunday papers and tea and coffee flowing throughout the service. Folk also bring their knitting, etc. There is lots of chat, and it is a great chance to spend time getting to know others from the church family. There is short 'God slot' and time of prayer. This service is works as one to bring friends and family along to. |
