‘My Peace I give you’.

St James’s Church, Meltham Mills,

Wednesday 27th March beginning with coffee in the hall from 10.00.

The Quiet Day starts in the Church at 10.30. There will be a short period of music; inspiring images; a reading and some prayers. The rest of the morning will be free for you to read; pray; sit and reflect; be creative with spiritual colouring and simply be at peace in a peaceful place.

Lunch and fellowship from 12 – 1.00. Please bring a packed lunch. Drinks and biscuits provided.

The afternoon is similar to the morning but about 2.15 we gather together for a simple Celtic Holy Communion Service lead by Rev Peter. The day ends by 3.00pm.

Come and see….stay as long as you wish. Take a break and have an hour or two just for yourself to feel and be in God’s perfect peace.

Contact Jenny Mathers 850839 for further information.

On Thursday 13th December at St James’ there will be an Oasis Quiet Day for Advent beginning with coffee from 10.00 and ending by 3.00pm.

Come and spend some time in this quiet and special place reflecting on the meaning of the Christmas story and how God’s gift to the world can bring us from darkness into light.

Drinks and biscuits will be available, but please bring a packed lunch if you are staying all day.

Hi, everyone,
Just to let you know that we are having to cancel Friday Evening’s Supper and Speaker event.
Unfortunately, Vicki Minton, our speaker is in hospital awaiting surgery following a heart attack.
Naturally we wish her well and a good recovery.
We are sorry to disappoint those who were hoping to join us.
Hopefully another evening will be arranged soon and we shall look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
Again,our apologies,
Jenny and Pastoral Team at St James’

SUNDAY 21st OCTOBER 2018

The Service at St James’ will have a slight difference on the 21st October. We will be celebrating Morning Worship with Reflections. The Theme will be ‘God’s Story – Our Story’ and we are fortunate to have a Guest Speaker.

Jacqui Hance will be with us to share her Personal Story.

Jacqui has a family and is the wife of the fairly recently appointed Dean of Derby Cathedral. She has also recently been appointed as Regional Manager with Operation Christmas Child. As Meltham is included in the area for which she is responsible, and as we will be only a couple of weeks away from the start of the 2018 OCC November campaign, we look forward to also hearing from her about new role.

We do hope as many people as possible will be able to come along and support Jacqui as she shares with us.
