Kid-I-Winks
Kid-I-Winks is a fun service for parents and under 5’s at St James Church, on the 1st Thursday of each month in term time.
It starts at 2pm for about 30 mins followed by refreshments and time for a chat. All are welcome to the services.
SPLASH!
Are you a young family with pre-school or infant school aged children? Then come and join the chaos...
Splash! is a group of friendly young families spending time together learning about life and God's love. We are a mix of Christians, those just having a look at the idea of a God and those who just like hanging out! As we learn together we enjoy Advent, Easter and Harvest parties, BBQs, treasure hunts, days out and brunches amongst other things.
Get in touch – we'd love to have you along. Contact the Parish Office for more details.
