NOTE! – Please note the later than usual start time of 10:30am. There will be no services at the other churches in the Parish as we’ll be joining together as one.
Similar to last year during March, services will NOT take place in all four churches each Sunday:
Everyone is encouraged to join together at one of the other churches if there is not a service at the one you would usually attend. Let’s stick together (and worship together) during these colder months and keep warm.
Services will be as follows for March in the parish – please note the new later start time of 10:00am for Sunday morning services at St Bartholomew’s and St James’ which has been changed to hopefully make it easier for those who struggled with the previous earlier start time:
2nd MAR – St James’ Meltham Mills – ALL AGE/FAMILY SERVICE – 10:00am and St Mary’s Wilshaw 11:15am
5th MAR – ASH WEDNESDAY HOLY COMMUNION – St Bartholomew’s Meltham – 7:30pm
