Mid-week study group
Alternate Tuesdays at 8.00 pm at Holly House, Sandy Bank. Contact for
further details: Pam Pritchard 01434 682684. Anyone who attends St James'
Church is welcome to come to the group at any time - no need to arrange to come
or to reserve a place. (Participating in The Big Read during Lent, instead of
Tuesday meetings.)
Sunday School
Creche facilities are provided for children under school age each Sunday
during the central part of the Parish Eucharist (returning to the service to
receive a blessing), and there is a welcome group during the same period for
children aged 5 – 11 on weeks that are not festivals (when children are
actively involved in the service). Whether you live in Riding Mill and might
want to join us every week, or you are visiting the area and would like to be
with children of a similar age, you will be made most welcome. For more information,
contact
Anne Foster 01434 682437.
Choir
The choir leads singing every week in the Parish Eucharist. New members would
be very welcome. If you are interested, contact the choirmaster.
Fair Trade at St James
On each first Sunday of the month, St James Fair Trade stall and café takes
place in the Millennium Hall at 1115 am (after the 10 am service). This is open
to all (irrespective of whether you have attended the service), and orders can
be placed on a monthly basis, saving postage costs on any items from the Traidcraft
catalogue. Contact Elaine Ryder 01434 682644
Community and Environment Prayer Walk
Laminated sheets describing variations on a walk around Riding Mill, starting
and ending at the church and providing focal points for prayer and reflection
about the community and the environment, are now available by the font at the
back of St James’ church, to be borrowed at any time that the church is
open.
St James Questionnaire Survey
Thank you to all who responded to the survey distributed by St James. The PCC
has now collated the information received from the survey and is in the process
of developing the Church's Action Plan.
