St James Church

-With apologies for the late change in schedule, there will be no morning service at St James this Sunday 18 October. 

– shortened churchwarden led service of sung Matins at 10 am on Sunday 25 October.
Evensong or compline will be said in church at 6 pm on each of these Sundays as usual.

Looking further forward, the  Remembrance Day service on Sunday 8 November

 will this year be held at St Mary’s Bepton at 10.45 am on the usual rotation across the churches in the benefice.

Finally, it is understood that the diocese will shortly be advertising for a new minister for our benefice with a view to interviews taking place in early January. Your prayers for a positive response to the advert would be most welcome!

The PCC has set up a fundraising page to support the work in this regard by the Chichester based charity Children on the Edge and this has already raised over £1,600 including gift aid: if you would like to add your financial support please visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/st-james-children-ukraine
