“Thank you for visiting our new website which I hope is a living reflection of the energetic, active, warm and friendly life of our church family. I am so pleased we now have a new way of encountering each other and sharing our news.

“By logging on each day, you will find the latest notices, news stories, and an up-to-date diary of events, as well as detailed information about everything we do.

“We are using Lent this year as a time to listen to God, not only for ourselves, but also for our wider church family, as well as taking time out from our ‘busyness’ to enjoy the world God has given us.

“Our 24/7 Prayer Room is open during Lent for those who would like to seek God in prayer and, if you would like to pray in a creative, and deeply spiritual environment, I would encourage you to book a slot through this website.

“If you are new to our church and would like to find out more about any of the activities on this site, please don’t hesitate to phone our Parish Office on 01564 775652. Or why not come along for one of our Sunday Services at either St Philip’s or St James’?

“We always look forward to meeting new people and we’d be delighted to grab a coffee or tea with you after the service and answer any questions you may have. Information about our services can be found in the About Us section of this site and in our events diary.

“Perhaps you would like to meet to pray with one of our experienced Pastoral Care Team? Please don’t hesitate to let us know.”

Duncan Hill Brown, Vicar, St Philip’s and St James’
