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.Covid has hit 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.

Be assured that we continue a ministry to the parish. Please contact Revd. Canon Michael Garland 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! Thank you to the people who so far have kindly donated to our Just Giving page.
Lovely weather, great company made the day for Afternoon Tea, hosted by Lu and Ian. Thank you Lu & Ian for all your hard work. It was a great success making much needed funds for the church

We have received several notes of thanks for remaining open - and we shall continue to observe all the social-distancing & hygiene rules. But we fully understand if you feel anxious about attending, and prefer to stay at home. We look forward to seeing you soon!Church Cleaning
This is presently carried out by a team of volunteers, but sadly the team is now rather small in number. Please come and lend a hand - we need to keep the building clean for all those who come in during the week. Please contact our Church Wardens - Jackie Broad 01452 541078 or Paul Price - 07595264559
