GET INVOLVED
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully." Romans 12:6-8
There's always a lot going on at St James' Church and so many ways that you can get involved whatever your gifts and talents may be. Below are some of the activities that you can get involved in either helping out or taking part.
