St James offers a range of activities to support families (keep an eye on our Facebook page for news of events):

Young Church:

Third Sunday of the Month during the 10:30am service
Our children’s programme called Young Church for Pre-school and Primary aged children in the hall. The programme offers a range of activities linked to Christian themes. As part of the activities the children participate in communion in the church.

Dads and Kids

Third Saturday of the Month:  10:45am-12:15pm
Dads and Kids is a great chance for dads with young children to get together around some banter, bacon rolls and coffee while the kids play.

Crafty Kidz

First Sunday of the Month:  3:00-4:00pm
Crafty Kidz is a space for children and parents to be creative together in different art forms. Sunday church can be tricky for families with young children so this space allows everyone to relax, have fun and explore themes and life events that have a deeper meaning.

The Summer Fair

Late August
Our Summer Fair is a very popular event which regularly attracts hundreds of people. Activities include a bouncy castle, face painting, games, treasure hunts, barbeque, live music, arts and crafts, ball pool, etc. It is a great celebration at the end of summer of the vibrant life of our local community.

Parenting Courses

St James hopes to offer parenting courses to help great parents be even better parents. We will be using very well regarded material from Care for the Family that has proven very effective in its honest and down to earth approach to parenting. The course offers parents the chance to share the joys and challenges of parenting and encourages the development of mutual support during the course and beyond.

Toddler’s Group

St James also host a wonderful Toddlers group on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday mornings which is a long established and very popular group.
