Sunday 27th December: we will have a service broadcast by our friends at Castledown FM on the radio and on our fb page so hope you can join us there. We will not have an in person service – these will resume when our team has had a little Christmas rest!
Christmas Eve Services
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Exciting! We have two outdoor services in our churchyard:
At 4pm an outdoor nativity service, which will see characters from our recent ‘Round The Back!’ Video reprising some of their roles to draw us into the Christmas Story once more.
At 11:30pm a candlelit Midnight Mass service.
Remember to wrap up warm, and a little torch or lantern might be a good idea as the evening darkens and cools. All welcome to join us!
If you would like to see the ‘Round The Back’ video it is below:
Children’s Church Nativity 2020
St James’ Children’s Church is proud to present this version of The Nativity, which we filmed entirely from our various homes. We hope you enjoy watching it. We enjoyed making it.

Saturday 12th December Cyclists Carol Service 11am
This Saturday at 11am, we are holding our Cyclists Carol Service in our churchyard. It will be a very short 15min service, outdoors and socially distanced, with bikes in hand, led by Rev’d Tim, our very own cycling vicar.

Sunday 6th December Advent Carol Service
This Sunday we celebrate the second Sunday of Advent, and no lockdown means our in person services will be restarting!

Wrap up very warm and come ready to sing!
If you are not able to join us in person, never fear, our friends at Castledown FM continue to broadcast our radio service, and bring a simultaneous live version on our Facebook page, also at 10am.
