It is a special service celebrating the ministry of Charles and John Wesley, evangelists and leaders of the Methodist denomination. All welcome to join us as we worship together.
A date for the diary: Friday 26th May 8pm-midnight, Half Night of Prayer.
Join us we pray for God’s guidance about our future; as ever, all welcome for as little or as much as you can.

This Sunday 14th May, we have our annual church meeting, at 6:30pm in the church hall. Our evening service is at 6pm, directly before the meeting. We will vote in our new committee members, our church wardens and deanery representatives and review the year inc our financial accounts. All welcome to this important meeting in our church year. We pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us forward.

For all wanting to join us for the 6am Dawn Service up Sidbury Hill, on Easter Sunday, here are directions and a little map:
We will use the CC Tank Track as this leads to a parking area and a gentler walk to the top. Drive down the main CC tank track to the west of Sidbury Hill where you can park. If you use the what3words app, the parking area is location “surprised.lecturing.guards”. Then we will walk up the western side of Sidbury Hill (it’s a much gentler slope this way) to the what3words location “fully.utensil.miracle” for our service.
Important note: where the map below is noted ‘No entry’ there is no actual No Entry sign but please don’t drive up that track, just before the parking area, because this track is deeply rutted and dangerous to drive up in your car.
If you would like to drive in convoy, cars are leaving St James at 5:20am for the 10 minute drive to the parking location.
5:30am park giving time for the 25 minute walk to the top of Sidbury Hill
5:55am aiming to arrive for our Dawn Service on top of Sidbury Hill
We look forward to sharing the joy of Easter morning with all who can come! 🤩
Here are details of our Easter Services, both here at St James and at our sister church Holy Trinity Church Tidworth. We hope to worship together with you at one or more of these services this Holy Week and Easter.

This is our Spring public service announcement: clocks go forward this weekend, on Saturday night!

You are loved and welcome, even when late!🤩
🥓☕️🥓☕️Our Men’s Breakfast returns this Saturday 25th March, at 8:45am in the Church Hall. A good place for a good breakfast in good company, so come along!☕️🥓☕️🥓
Ps our church walk leaves at 10am from the church gate on the same Saturday morning, so the option is there to walk off your breakfast afterwards! 😊
