WELCOME!

This coming Sunday, 12th July 2026, is the 6th Sunday after Trinity, AND we are excited as we are celebrating our Patronal Festival for St James.  This means there will be ONE service starting at 9.45 am and ending with a party! 


This will all take place at St James Church.  Please note there won't be a service at St Clement on 12th July.

We are now in a church season known as “Ordinary Time”.

Ordinary Time begins with Trinity Sunday.  Trinity Sunday recalls the truth that there is one God in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  

During "Ordinary Time", we might think that nothing special is happening as there aren't many major events taking place.  But it would be wrong to dismiss "Ordinary Time" as being purposeless.  

"Ordinary Time" allows us to develop "holy habits" - such as taking time to pray and read the bible.  This strengthens our walk with God.  As one person wrote, "the activities of ordinary time are therefore less about special occasions and more about regular rhythms that contribute to spiritual growth".

The seasonal colour for "Ordinary Time" is green - traditionally the sign of growth, as seeds sown in the dark begin to emerge as green shoots.  


We look forward to welcoming you at our Patronal Festival Service at St James.

Every blessing!
