Our services will be at 10am, in person in the churchyard and and on the radio with our friends at Castledown FM on 104.7FM. If you are coming to the churchyard, don’t forget your folding chair or picnic blanket! If you are listening on the radio, our service sheet is available here: https://stjamesludgershall.com/service-sheets/ Children’s Church will be running at our churchyard service – we will gather as a whole congregation before going off to our separate worship activities. We look forward to welcoming however you choose to join our worship.
We are in the final week before Rev’d Tim sets off on his sponsored bike ride of 70miles in aid of our stained glass window project! Please sponsor Tim, either online here: https://pay.collctiv.com/tims-sponsored-bike-ride-1971 or by putting your sponsorship through the door of the Rectory at 10 St James Street. You might also like to join us in the late afternoon of Sunday 13th June when we will welcome Tim in the churchyard at the completion of his ride for coffee and cake. Exact timing will be advertised on this page on the day, but we think it will be between 4pm and 5pm. Or ride the final stretch from the layby at Wellington Academy to the churchyard to support him. Again exact timing on the day. All in aid of a once in a generation installation of stained glass to celebrate our place of Ludgershall and God’s goodness to us. Amazing!

Hello everyone. 👀 Look at these latest pictures of our stained glass window, being leaded, before installation! Don’t forget Rev’d Tim’s sponsored bike ride raising money for the window project – please give generously! 🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼More info about the bike ride at the link below, or donate directly for the window here: https://pay.collctiv.com/window-fund-18042
What’s The Story returns this Friday, 4th June at 9:30am in the churchyard. This is a Bible storytelling and activity session for preschool and primary school aged children with their parents/carers, which lasts about an hour. Please bring a picnic blanket so you can create a base for your household! We will provide a drink and snack during the session. Happy Halfterm!
This Sunday there will not be an in person service at St James, because we are all going to celebrate Trinity Sunday with our sister church at Holy Trinity Church Tidworth, in their churchyard instead! Trinity Sunday is their patronage festival day. Please note that Holy Trinity hold their service at 11am, so please join us there then, with folding chairs and brollies at the ready. The radio service will be broadcast by our friends at Castledown FM at 10am as usual. Please consider making an offering to the continuing ministry of our church, as this is how we pay our clergy and cover running costs. You can do that online here: https://stjamesludgershall.com/donations/ Thank you.
Our monthly Church Walks are back! We will leave from the Church gate at 10am on Saturday 29th May. All are welcome to join us – please wear sturdy footwear.
✏️✏️✏️Quizzers! Our regular zoom quiz night is on on Thursday night, meeting from 7pm for a 7:30pm start. All are welcome to join in with a light hearted evening hosted by our quiz master, Errol, at the link below. ✏️✏️✏️
On the afternoon of Sunday 13th June, our very own Rev’d Tim Laundon will cycle an ambitious circular route to raise money for our Stained Glass Window Project, which is being created by artist Sophie Hacker.
Tim will set off from St James, and take in four other pieces of stunning art produced by Sophie : first, a cross in the chapel of Winchester Hospital, then the Baptism Window at St John The Baptist Church, North Baddesely, the Calling Window at Romsey Abbey, and finally the cross at Sarum College, Salisbury, before making his way back to us at St James Church, Ludgershall, via Holy Trinity, Tidworth. It is a 70mile route.
Ways you can help: 1) Please sponsor Tim either online at this link: https://pay.collctiv.com/tims-sponsored-bike-ride-1971, or by popping your sponsorship, clearly labelled, through the letter box of the Rectory at 10 St James Street. All money raised goes directly to pay for our new beautiful stained glass window.
2) Join us to welcome Tim back to the churchyard for coffee and cake on the afternoon of Sunday 13th June, to celebrate his accomplished ride! More details on this to follow.
3) Tim will stop in at the Wellington Academy lay by on his way back, so some of us, including any younger riders can ride the last victorious 1km, which is on a cycle lane, not on the road. Those wanting to do that can meet there late afternoon – look on our Facebook page for timing details closer to the day.
We are tremendously excited by the progress of the stained glass window. Please support the project and Tim in this cycling-offering to raise awareness and funds to complete the installation! Thank you!
Our services will be at 10am, in person in the churchyard and and on the radio with our friends at Castledown FM on 104.7FM. If you are coming to the churchyard, don’t forget your folding chair or picnic blanket, and perhaps a brolly this week! We look forward to welcoming however you choose to join our worship.
