Join us in praying for people to feel God’s calling to join us here and therefore apply for the job, and for ourselves that we would appoint the person God has sent! Lord, send us your chosen servant to work with us for your glory in this Benefice community.

Festive changes to our Sunday Evening schedule!
For those who enjoy our Sunday evening services, our schedule is a bit different over the next few weeks : next Sunday 15th Dec we have a traditional Carol Service at 3:30pm and on 22nd December we have a more contemporary Carol Service at 6pm, both replacing our regular 4pm Evensong time during the winter months. We return to the usual 4pm time on 28th December.
Hope that is clear, and hope to see you at our special Christmas services!
Christmas Services 2019
Our Christmas Card is now making its way to homes in the parish, delivered by our lovely volunteers. It is a little token of the warmth of welcome there is for you here at St James, and at our sister church, Holy Trinity in Tidworth. On it are details of all our Christmas services – see photos below. Please do come! We look forward to seeing you.
Darkness to Light Service
Join us at 6pm on Sunday 1st December for a dramatic service which starts in near total darkness and gradually welcomes the Light of Jesus coming into the World, to end with a bright and radiant church. A fitting start to the Advent season, so hope you can come. All welcome.
Traditional Christmas Dinner
If you are going to be on your own this Christmas, we have a special Christmas Dinner planned for anyone who would like to join with us at the Church Hall. Details on the poster below – please phone to register for a place by 30th November and also to let us know if you need transport. Already looking forward to it!
Pudding Night!
Pudding Night! Our delicious (and a tiny bit competitive) Pudding Night is back in the church hall at 6pm for 6:30pm on Saturday 12th October, so not long left to get a ticket. £10 for a soup starter, pretty much as much pudding as anyone could ever eat, plus a glass of wine/lager/soft drink and a raffle ticket. Call Julie on 01264 790448 or Mike on 01264 398602 for tickets! Come and get your just desserts! Yum!
Harvest 2019
Join in our celebration of the harvest! We have an autumnal walk, leaving the church gate at 1:30pm Saturday 28th. If you would like to help decorate the church with our harvest produce, that will be after 3pm on Saturday. We have the Harvest Supper on Saturday evening – please contact Mike or Babs Dunning on 01264 398602 for tickets to that. And on Sunday we will celebrate at our service of Word Worship and Song at 10am, when harvest offerings are also most welcome. We will be donating our harvest offerings to those in need and to the Trussell Trust Food Bank in Andover. Hope to see you next weekend!
