Dear Friends
This Sunday do join Virginia at 9am for our Said service from the Book of Common Prayer - a wonderful way to begin your Sunday! And to end the weekend, at 6pm we have our Congregational Evensong service - a traditional, reflective service with beautiful music to which all are very welcome.
At St. James’ 10.30am on Sunday we celebrate our Patronal festival of St. James’ with Parish Communion with provision for children in the Lady Chapel. Refreshments served after the service. And at 1pm we have the Baptism of Theo, so do hold him and the family in your prayers as he joins our church family. And on Saturday we have more reasons to rejoice as Marianne and Tim will be getting married at 2pm - a weekend full of joy, love and celebration!
Looking ahead to August……
