Sunday 13th June

10.30am Parish Eucharist

cel: & pr: The Venerable Hilary Dawson, Archdeacon of Gloucester

We shall of course be observing all the social-distancing & hygiene rules, and sadly asking everyone to leave the church promptly, resisting the natural urge to stay and chat.

We want everyone to stay safe and we understand that not everyone is ready to join us in church just yet - we look forward to better times!

In the church you will find a prayer board for you to attach your own prayers. Prayers from the board are offered at Sunday worship. We would like to extend this facility to those who view our web page or Facebook page on line. Click here and leave a prayer in our comments box. Please leave your name and something about why the prayer has been requested.

Wanted Church Treasurer

Could you make the difference in your local church?

We are in desperate need of someone to take over the role of Church Treasurer.

Due to personal circumstances our current Treasurer has resigned, after many years of dedicated service.

You will need to be numerate, IT literate and be available for the occasional evening meeting. A sense of humour also helps! No prior knowledge is necessary as training will be given.

Please contact us through this web site by clicking here. We shall be in touch with you!

Worried? Depressed?

These are challenging times and it can take a strain on our mental health. There are two NHS websites that may help. Click on the links nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters and talk2gether.nhs.uk

Welcome to Saint James'

Come and Join us!

There are two services taking place each week. The Sunday Holy Eucharist service commences at 10.30am every Sunday. The Wednesday morning Holy Eucharist service begins at 10.00am. Distancing and hygiene measures are in place. This is in line with Government regulations. Face masks must be worn.

The church is open from 9.30am -4pm every week day for private prayer.

Following Fr. Johns's retirement we are now in a period of interregnum. The position for Rector is being considered by the Diocese and members of the PCC. During this period our Assistant clergy can still be contacted via phone. Please view our 'Who's who' page on this website.

Our parish magazine under the Editorship of Fr. Hugh Broad is still being produced and is distributed electronically through the social media and is available on this website.

Our parish weekly newsletter, compiled by Fr. Ian Robb is also available on this website letting people know what is going on in the parish and sets out some prayers that you may like to use at this very challenging time.

Whilst we aren’t able to ‘live stream’ church services The clergy produce a ‘Thought for the Week’ This is available on this website and our face book page. We have also produced several videos all still available on Facebook.

The cancellation of the Summer Fayre and now the Christmas Fayre is hitting our finances very hard; being mindful of our call to be good stewards of all God has given us, we need to consider our financial support of our church. We commend to you the Parish Giving Scheme code 163070(QUED).

Be assured that although the church is not operating fully we are able to continue a ministry to the departed, under strict guidelines. Please contact us further on 01452 720872 if you require further information.

Can you help?

Please support Saint James' - we need you!

We are all living in unprecedented times. The church is no exception. Throughout the last few months Saint James' has continued wherever possible to continue its ministry in serving the people in Quedgeley & Kingsway.

The doors of the church are open on a daily basis for private prayer. Church volunteers have supported those who are vulnerable and assist others. Our parish clergy have been readily available.

Unfortunately due to the church being unable to hold its usual services, weddings and baptisms our finances are suffering. The church still needs to be maintained. The roof still needs to be repaired! Those costs will not go away. A regular contribution, no matter how small will help.

Our most recent Quinquennial report is available here to read

If you can help, no matter how great or small click here for a standing order form to send to your bank.

Alternatively click on here for our JUST GIVING page for a one off donation - all donations are really welcome. Thank you. Please do support us - we really do need your help!

Ordinary & Extraordinary

Fr. Hugh launched copies of his memoirs at our Fund Raising event. The booklet entitled 'Ordinary and Extraordinary' costs £5.00 per copy and can be purchased by contacting Fr. Hugh personally or through this website. With a foreword from the Archbishop of York the book makes an interesting read as Fr. Hugh has visited and lived in many places and led a very varied and interesting life.
